“Yearly, Frameline is marking new ‘firsts,’ and 2024 was no exception,” mentioned Allegra Madsen, Frameline’s Govt Director. “Frameline48 started with an unprecedented group celebration of Blackness and queerness, which set the stage for the whole pageant to be a celebration of all of our intersecting queer identities. As each the chief of this dynamic, community-centered movie group and a long-time programmer, I couldn’t be prouder of Frameline48’s success. However the success isn’t simply Frameline’s — the success belongs to the filmmakers, storytellers and audiences who got here collectively to have a good time the ability queer cinema has to alter the world and form the cultural narrative.”
