Reel Pride Film Festival is Canada's oldest 2SLGBTQ+ film festival. Since 1985, we have showcased nearly a thousand films, bringing diverse and unique content to Winnipeg audiences.

As a volunteer-driven non-profit community group, our mission is to promote 2SLGBTQ+ cinema and provide a platform for underrepresented voices.

With the added excitement of audience participation, viewers have the power to choose the recipient of the coveted Audience Choice Award.
