EXCLUSIVE: NewFest has taken the wraps off NewFest Pride, its new virtual summer film series that will kick off June 4-7.
The event from the New York-based LGBTQ+ film and media organization aims to kick off Pride month showcasing six feature films along with a short-film program co-presented with Vimeo and LGBTQ-focused panels and special events.Those events include a virtual live-read of Legally Blonde featuring an all queer and trans cast, NewFest said Thursday.
The fundraiser comes as the film starring Reese Witherspoon celebrates its 20th anniversary, on the heels of the success of the all-trans live-read of Brokeback Mountain in October during NewFest’s New York LGBTQ Film Festival.
