PRISM 37: aGLIFF’s Annual
LGBTQ+ Film Festival
August 21-25, 2024
We are expanding our footprint across the city this year by adding screening locations at the Violet Crown Cinemas on Sunday afternoon and moving our Closing Night film and reception to the Alamo Drafthouse Mueller location.
This also allows the festival to place films across a wider variety of theater sizes with the larger opening and closing night films and Centerpiece features at venues with the capacity to seat between 80-250 guests while also offering more intimate settings at KMFA's Draylen Mason Music Studio and Violet Crown Cinemas to give guests up-close-and-personal access to films and filmmakers. In addition to traditional weekend badges, special Galaxy and Violet Crown Passes will give the audience a variety of pricing options as well.
