Celebrating the LGBTQIA2S+ Community

In the spirit of Pride Month we are really excited to share the LGBTQIA2S+ Programming at this year’s Bentonville Film Festival (BFF). 

BFF’s core mission has always been to amplify the stories and voices of female, non-binary, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, and persons with a disability in entertainment and media. 

Since the inauguration of the Bentonville Film Festival, Kickstart Entertainment has been the producer and a supporter. You can read more about our partnership here. We also work collaboratively with BFF to help support year-round alumni support through our Film Series which is curated to create conversations and give a platform to communities and stories often underrepresented on and off screen.

And at this year’s 2022 Bentonville Film Festival, it is no different!  BFF will continue to amplify their mission by celebrating filmmakers, stories, actors and subjects who identify as LGBTQIA2S+.

We hope you are able to join in-person or virtually to support some of these incredible films and filmmakers! More details are available here on how to attend BFF 2022 in-person in Bentonville, Arkansas from June 22-26 or virtually from June 22 - July 3! 

Happy Pride from the Kickstart & BFF Team!
