GEELONG Pride Film Festival is getting a boost after securing funding from the Victorian government’s Pride Events and Festivals Fund.<\/p>\n

The 29 recipients will share in a total of $400,000 in grants for events designed to foster social connection and wellbeing among rainbow communities.<\/p>\n

Geelong Pride Film Festival director Stephen Ryan said the grant money would help them deliver the event next year.<\/p>\n

“It will support paying for the licence fees and for screening the films. It will also support the venue hire.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to have the support of the Pride Events and Festivals Fund, as a volunteer run festival and organisation, we do rely on the support of sponsors and grants to be able to deliver the festival.”<\/p>\n

The Geelong Pride Festival is an independently curated annual event, focusing on positive and uplifting films and in 2025 will run across four venues.<\/p>\n

Mr Ryan said the festival liked to show positive and uplifting films, celebrating the lives of the LGBTIQA+ people.<\/p>\n

“It’s important to have these kinds of events for the LGBTIQA+ community, particularly in regional areas, to have events that the community can come along and engage with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We also have a particular focus on screening films that have a positive representation and positive outcomes for LGBTIQA+ people and characters.”<\/p>\n

Minister for Equality Harriet Shing announced the funding recipients last week, saying a range of events and activities are continuing to be supported through the fund.<\/p>\n

“Inclusion and safety for our LGBTIQA+ communities through events and festivals is so important in making sure that LGBTIQA+ people can live wholly and freely.”<\/p>\n

Next year’s Geelong Pride Film Festival will take place from May 1 until May 11, for more information, head to gpff.ferve.tickets<\/a><\/p>\n
