It’s Festival Season Again!

June is nearly upon us, which means it’s time for two of San Francisco’s best film festivals. First up is QWOCMAP, the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project, with its 18th annual international Queer Women of Color Film Festival, June 10, 11, and 12. Just a few days later, the 46th annual Frameline San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival runs June 16 through June 26. Both festivals will also offer online screenings June 24 through June 30. 

 The QWOCFF is moving to the Presidio this year. Tickets are free, but you must get a Covid test from an approved testing facility (cost ranges from $25 to $85), as well as showing proof of vaccination and booster and wearing an N-95 or KN-95 mask (N-95 masks will be available at the venue). There will also be online screenings available June 24 to 30. 

 Frameline is requiring proof of vaccination and booster for everyone over 11 years old, as well as a mask, for all indoor screenings. Screenings at outdoor venues will not require proof of vaccination, and masks are optional. Frameline is also offering many (but not all) of its programs online in the “Encore,” also June 24 to 30.
