The festival

Films expand our perception of the world and thus contribute to social change!

The PRIDE PICTURES Queer Film Festival Karlsruhe developed from the
Lesbian-Gay Film Days, which were founded in 1994. Since 2015, the
film festival has been organised by the non-profit association PRIDE PICTURES.
Now one of the largest queer film festivals in Germany, the week-long festival traditionally the end of October shows current international feature films, documentaries and legendary short film programmes. The accompanying festival programme consists of film discussions with filmmakers, the festival party and a high-calibre panel discussion. The films come to us in many different ways. Some of them are submitted by filmmakers or film distributors, sometimes festival members find the films at other festivals such as the Berlinale. The festival offers a forum for a socially committed film culture that is worthy of discussion and sophisticated film culture. The venue is the Kinemathek and Schauburg Karlsruhe, whose staff provide us with logistical, technical and conceptual support. The association also organises special screenings in collaboration with other queer associations.
