Pride Month Screening: Reclaiming Identity

In celebration of Pride Month, Third World Newsreel is excited to join the Resistance & Joy Screening Tour and host a community screening in New York, in partnership with PrideFull, Black Public Media, and Brooklyn Community Pride Center.

Host / Co-Sponsor

Third World Newsreel advances movement storytelling and media arts for cultural and social justice since 1968. We champion the self-representation of historically marginalized communities—including Black, Latine, Indigenous, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, North African, Mixed/Multiracial, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—through distribution, exhibition, production, preservation and training.

This event is co-sponsored by Black Public Media, a non-profit organization that supports the development of visionary content creators and distributes stories about the global Black experience to inspire a more equitable and inclusive future.  

Co-Presenters

PrideFull is a New York-based film festival by and for Queer and Trans People of Color. PrideFull curates and screens innovative films that center LGBTQIA2S+ people of color and their stories.

Brooklyn Community Pride Center uplifts and empowers LGBTQ+ Brooklyn through socially conscious and culturally responsive programs, partnerships, and advocacy.
