ABOUT REEL PRIDE

From humble beginnings in a Fresno State classroom, Fresno Reel Pride has evolved into one of the oldest and largest LGBTQ film festivals in the United States

ABOUT US

Every year, it is our goal to bring a wide array of LGBTQ cinema and entertainment home to the Central Valley. With new direction, bold new ideas, and a fresh outlook, we’re proud to bring this annual film festival to the community.

OUR MISSION

Fresno Reel Pride's mission is to increase the awareness of the LGBTQIA community through the exhibition of film exploring LGBTQIA themes at an annual film festival. 

Fresno Reel Pride is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 

Meet The BOARD

Fresno Reel Pride’s Board of Directors is an all-volunteer board that governs the overall execution of the Fresno Reel Pride mission. Director responsibilities include oversight of the annual film festival and contribute as the policy, financial and legal decision-making body for the organization.
