Create Tamp Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival Laurels

The Tampa Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, also known as TIGLFF, is Florida's longest-running LGBTQ+ film festival. Founded in 1990 as an extension of local Pride celebrations, it showcases films and videos by, for, or about the LGBTQ+ community. Primarily held at the historic Tampa Theatre, the festival has expanded to include year-round screenings, an annual festival, and a Trans Film Festival. In 2026, TIGLFF rebranded to broaden its scope, emphasizing inclusivity and support for the trans community, while continuing its core programs.
