For 26 years, FilmOut San Diego has proudly celebrated the power of LGBTQ storytelling, 
showcasing thousands of films that entertain, inspire, challenge, and connect audiences from 
around the world. From world premieres and award-winning favorites to hidden international 
gems, our carefully curated lineup reflects the incredible diversity, creativity, and resilience of 
our community.
What makes FilmOut truly special is the experience beyond the screen. Filmmaker Q&As, panel 
discussions, and unforgettable conversations create meaningful connections between artists 
and audiences, making every festival a celebration of community.
Looking to the future, we remain dedicated to investing in diverse leadership, educational 
internships, and opportunities that nurture the next generation of LGBTQ filmmakers 
and advocates.
As we celebrate our 26th Anniversary, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the board members, 
sponsors, donors, volunteers, filmmakers, and community partners who make FilmOut possible. 
Your generosity, passion, and belief in LGBTQ storytelling have helped our festival thrive, and 
we encourage everyone to support the incredible businesses and organizations that stand with 
our community year after year.
Thank you for celebrating with us. Your support fuels our mission, and we can’t wait to share 
another unforgettable year of films, friendships, and stories that matter. Here’s to the next 
chapter of visibility, pride, and the transformative power of cinema!
