PrideFull Fest

Presenting: our Virtual Shorts program! Shorts: Radical Acceptance presents the importance of families and communities as pillars of support for queer individuals in an increasingly hostile and adversarial world. #PrideFullFest2025 #FilmFestival #NYC #QTBIPOC

We’ll continue to share updates throughout this journey and come back stronger and more intentional. ​Please note that we’ll still be around and open to co-promotion and partnership opportunities! ​Thank you for being part of the PrideFull community.

so that we can continue supporting QTBIPOC filmmakers and film lovers without overextending our capacity. Over the coming months, we’ll evaluate our current model, explore new approaches, and build systems that are more sustainable and align with our long-term goals.

Update: PrideFull is taking a break this year. Instead of hosting the annual PrideFull Fest, we’re using this time to take a step back and focus on building a more sustainable model.

Having lived through the Partition, persecution, and the harrowing threat of nearly losing Zunaira to illness, Khalid never once doubted what his Muslim faith had taught him to believe was most important of all: his love for his family.

This warm and thought-provoking film offers a lens into the Asian familial ways of love and acceptance. For Indian Pakistani American Khalid Quraishi, his daughter Zunaira’s announcement that she was ready to marry the woman of her dreams was a joyous, even miraculous, occasion.

We are thrilled to co-present the Asian Pride Project's new short film, Never Stand Down docu-series: Feat. The Quraishi Family! Free streaming will be available from Oct 17th to 19th. Ticket here: goelevent.com/PrideFull/e/Ne… #PrideFull #NYC #QTBIPOC
