NewFest Pride
About This Event
NewFest Pride starts LGBTQ+ Pride Month with a film series. New York's top LGBTQ+ film and media organization puts it on every year. Expect premieres, Q&As with filmmakers, and parties.
You can see films in person at Manhattan and Brooklyn venues like SVA Theatre and Pier 17 (for outdoor screenings). Or watch virtually from anywhere in the country.
The festival shows all kinds of films: narratives, documentaries, shorts. Often, they’re award-winners or breakouts from bigger festivals like Sundance and Berlinale. Past years brought star-studded premieres and tributes to LGBTQ+ figures. Besides the movies, NewFest Pride throws parties and hosts discussions.
NewFest has a reputation for good programming. It gives a platform to new and established queer storytellers, making it a big deal on the New York City LGBTQ+ calendar.
