OUR PRIDE Shorts & Arts Fest

Welcome to the WORLD PRIDE 2025 LGBTQ Shorts Fest, the global LGBTQIA+ filmmaker and content creators festival featuring short films, video, art and music, sponsored and hosted by Entertainment Oxygen / eoFlix.

The Official Short Film Festival event of WorldPride 2025 / May-June 2025: http://worldpridedc.org,

The WorldPride 2025 theme is "The Fabric of Freedom." While the LGBTQ+ community faces growing challenges both in the United States and worldwide from those seeking to divide rather than unite, it’s the fabric of our community - through our rich cultures, diverse identities, and backgrounds - that will guide us forward towards a better future.

2025 entries highlight personal and collective struggles in the global LGBTQIA+ community, featuring such topics as Social Justice, Human Rights, Current Issues, Mental Health, Personal Stories, Local Pride, LGBTQIA+ Community & History, and more.

Social Justice issues highlight: Amnesty / Immigration, Disability Justice, Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Gender Justice, Health Justice, Racial Justice, and Reproductive Justice.
