life; our passions, our fights, our struggles, our unity and differences.
In the past, we have hosted live events in various local venues such as The Latest MusicBar, Duke's at Komedia, The Ledward Centre, The Lighthouse, and as an integral part of Brighton & Hove Pride for three years.

We do not have premiere requirements.
We request that all our films are provided with English subtitles, for accessibility purposes.
Our festival is unique as, as well as our live events, we offer filmmakers the opportunity to be screened on community, not-for-profit local TV channels in the UK such as Latest TV in Brighton and Northern Visions in Belfast (but you can opt out of this). The FilmPride TV festival is a huge success; the two channels combined serve over 700,000 households, so if your film is on our channels, it will be seen by thousands more!
