TLVFest

The 21st TLVFest - Tel Aviv International LGBTQ+ Film Festival is right around the corner and will take place on October 22nd - 31st 2026.

We are opening submissions for the festival at a complex time when winds of hatred and war are blowing around thw world.

As a film festival, we strive to place focus on movies that promote love, peace and tolerance through the art of cinema.

We aim to provide a stage for LGBTQ+ movies with different perspectives and cultural backgrounds.

We believe that the power of cinema can change the mind and create empathy, awareness and understanding.

Our festival is, and will always be, in favors of peace and a solution.

We are concerned to see that anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim resentment, anti-democratic currents, and hate speech are spreading in our country and all over the world. As a cultural institution, we take a firm stand against all forms of discrimination, hate speech and prejudice.

We look forward to watching your submissions, to build a unique, colorful and boundary-breaking LGBTQ+ Film Festival program.
