One In Ten

One in Ten hosts an annual film festival in the fall in the Washington, DC metro area showing mainly independent, mostly first run films directed, produced, starring and about the LGBT community. However that seems just the highlight of the year as they host other film screenings during the year, participate in Pride events, and create visibility for an organization that highlights films affecting the LGBT community.

Each year One In Ten puts on Reel Affirmations, a week long film festival showcasing film enjoyed by the gay and lesbian community and their supporters and friends. Covering a wide-​range of programming, films range greatly in topic. Whether gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgendered, transsexual or some other permutation of sexual or gender identity, this film festival usually has something for everyone. Several first-​run productions are often shown during the festival. VIP passes with reserved seating are the best way to enjoy the films as lines can be long and popular films on popular nights are quite packed. A film festival wouldn’t be a festival without parties and this film festival usually offers several outdoor parties.
