Reel Affirmations: Washington DC's International LGBT Film Festival is proud to announce we are now a part of The DC Center Arts Program.

The DC Center is Washington DC's Community Center for the LGBT Community. We are simultaneously partnering with The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in regard to presenting our monthly film series and The Tivoli Theater in Washington DC in presenting our Fall Film Festival.

Both the DC Center and HRC are amazing organizations with strong ties in the community locally and globally. This is a perfect fit for Reel Affirmations.

With this union, Reel Affirmations has re-launched its monthly film series, Reel Affirmations XTRA and will be bringing back Reel Affirmations: Washington DC's International LGBT Film Festival in late August 2015.

We are in our 23nd year and the festival takes place in August 2015.Since its first festival, Reel Affirmations has grown to include a companion Pride Film Festival, special screenings throughout the year with a variety of community partnerships, and a grant program to support LGBT filmmakers. The DC Center has an extensive arts program that help tell the stories of LGBT lives.that includes, OUTWRITE: LGBT Book Festival, The DC Queer Theatre Festival and Capturing FirePoetry Slam.
