Send Us Your Films!

PRIDE, a Bloomington, IN film festival exploring a wide variety of issues and situations involving the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities, is seeking full-length and short films and videos for its January 28-30,2010 festival. PRIDE seeks films that express a range of viewpoints and feature many different personality types and situations, advocating community-wide attitudes of awareness, acceptance and appreciation of diversity. The goal of the festival is to educate and strengthen the local community and celebrate artistic talent and achievement.

Awards

Select filmmakers will be invited to attend the festival and speak about their work, and three awards will be given to the Jury Selection, Audience Favorite, and the Alfred C. Kinsey Prize winners.
