We’re a volunteer-run festival, showcasing the work of LGBTQ+ independent filmmakers from all corners of the world. All films are captioned, and our venue is wheelchair accessible.
After a short hiatus, we’re delighted to be back in our 7th year with screenings this February, celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month.

FRIDAY 6th – SATURDAY 14th FEBRUARY 2026
St. George’s Church, St George’s Rd, Kemptown, BN2 1ED

This year’s festival presents a vibrant mix of LGBTQ+ short films alongside two feature-length screenings. Spanning documentary, fiction, animation and experimental cinema, the programme explores love, identity, family, community and resistance — centering queer lives in all their complexity, creativity and resilience.
Across intimate personal stories and broader collective histories, these films celebrate culture and connection while confronting injustice, offering moments of joy, reflection and challenge.

Past events have been hosted at Duke’s at Komedia, the Ledward Centre, Lighthouse and The Latest MusicBar in Brighton, at the Margate Film Festival, and formed an integral part of Brighton & Hove Pride for three consecutive years.
FilmPride is run on behalf of Latest TV, Brighton & Hove’s local TV channel, available on Freeview 7, Virgin Media 159 and available to livestream anywhere at thelatest.co.uk
