Frameline, San Francisco’s iconic LGBTQ film festival, will have its longest run in history, from Thursday, June 10, through June 27. The package includes drive-in showings, streaming across the country, indoor screenings and even outdoor movie nights at Oracle Park.
Before the program was put together, organizers worried that the pandemic would make it difficult to come up with a strong lineup. But the opposite happened: There weren’t enough slots for all the excellent work, including big productions, romances and period dramas.
“The hard part was we didn’t have enough slots for all the work and all the creative energy that people were able to muster while being locked down,” said Allegra Madsen, Frameline’s director of programming.
