Those venues include the Castro Theatre, Roxie Theater, SFMOMA, AMC Kabuki, and Proxy in San Francisco, and the New Parkway Theater in Oakland.“We are beyond excited to welcome cinephiles back to in-person screenings at San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre — which celebrates its 100th birthday during the festival — as well as other venues around the Bay Area,” Frameline executive director James Woolley said in the release. “It is our hope that this year’s festival will remind us of the importance of community and connection, as well as continue to inspire change through film.”Tickets to the festival are on sale now and are available at frameline.org.
The festival will also have a national streaming encore thatwill be for those outside of the San Francisco Bay Area.“This year’s festival builds on Frameline’s long-standing commitment to celebrate and amplify queer voices,” Frameline director of programming Allegra Madsen said. “Exploring themes ranging from queer family histories to confronting the future with a world in a state of flux, the diverse lineup of films shed light on what it means to be queer around the globe.”For more details and to see the complete program, visit Frameline’s website..
