We are PROUD Community Partners of QWOCMAP celebrating their 22nd annual film festival this June‼️

QWOCMAP presents the 22nd annual International Q***r Women of Color Film Festival, 47 films by q***r women, nonbinary, and trans filmmakers of color, screening from May through October 2026.⠀

This year’s festival theme says it plainly: We Resist, and We Roll. The festival opens with satellite screenings in May and builds to three days at San Francisco’s historic Presidio Theatre on June 12, 13, and 14, with satellite screenings continuing through August and October. Across all of it, ancestral land practices and cultural preservation, radical protest and daring heists, tender love stories and intergenerational connections, these are the films our communities make when resistance and filmmaking happen in the same breath.⠀

QWOCFF has never been a single weekend. It’s a season. And in 2026, through community partnerships that carry these films into new rooms and new neighborhoods, the festival reaches further than ever. Be in the room, whichever room that is.⠀
