Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival
HRFF is one of the longest-running and most respected queer film festivals in the country, celebrating its 36th anniversary in 2025. It is especially well known as a bridge between Hawai’i and the Pacific, Asia, and the USA. HRFF is an IMDB-qualified festival and a member of the Asia Pacific Queer Film Festival Alliance.
The festival uses the power of film to raise awareness, engage, energize, and instill a sense of pride and respect in Hawaiʻiʻs thriving lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, mahu and aikane community. The festival is presented annually in honor of Hawaii LGBT pioneer Adam Baran.

Arlington International Film Festival
Arlington International Film Festival (AIFF) serves as a bridge between the global and the local. We are committed to showcasing films that inspire audiences to be curious, empathic and creative while uplifting underrepresented stories and artists. Through our interconnected programming, learning opportunities, and commitment to cultural exchange, AIFF fosters understanding and creativity for a brighter and more connected world.
AIFF is open to national and international filmmakers. Many of our selected films have been nominated for Academy Awards; i.e. BOTSO: The Teacher from Tbilisi directed by Tom Walters, Elena directed by Petra Costa, and Documented directed by Jose Antonio Vargas. We Still Live Here directed by Anne Makepeace was chosen by the U.S. State Department to screen around the world and other films have been purchased by CNN, POV, PBS, WGBH, and NOVA.

Salute Your Shorts Fest
Welcome to SoCal Summer Camp for filmmakers!
We curate an intimate lineup of stellar shorts from around the world in every genre, showcasing them to a community of artists seeking inspiration and conversation. Selected films will enjoy an audience of working entertainment industry professionals and compete for cash and prize packages and an Academy Award®-Qualifying Theatrical run.
Our festival was started by filmmakers for filmmakers. Every decision is steeped with intention and care – from the programming, to the parties and the marketing. The entertainment industry can be a cold and competitive place, and we seek to combat that through genuine care and connection. Community is one of our core values and thus, selected filmmakers are adopted into our filmmaking family. Notable alumni include Jim Cummings (Thunder Road), Mark Duplass (The Morning Show), Katie Aselton (The Freebie), Ursula Taherian (United States of Al), Ben Brewer (Everything Everywhere All At Once – VFX), David Fried (True Colors), and Danny Madden (Beast Beast).
We are seeking thought-provoking, conversation-starting stories that align with our mantra: Films with an Aftertaste. Whether they are shot on the iPhone or the Alexa, we seek to program a slate of films that represents the diverse and distinct voices in our world today.
Our lineup will feature top films from the festival circuit, as well as hidden gems we uncover in the screening process.
