The Palace International Film Festival

LGBTQIA+ Festival, 08 – 12 Sept 2021, St Anne’s House

The Palace International Film Festival (PIFF), Bristol’s LGBTQIA+ film festival experienced through multi-disciplinary performances, workshops and panels from local Bristol and international queer artists, happened at St Anne’s House, Bricks supported by Bristol City Council and Film Hub North and Hub South West.

In line with their tagline: ‘elevating experimentation and creating conversation’, PIFF aims to spotlight emerging talent and bring together LGBTQIA+ artists, communities and allies. PIFF celebrates the individual and collective identities that we share through the power of queer culture.

The 2021 programme invited Bristol to: experience the pop-up outdoor cinema; indulge in the variety of queer cinema through over 100 short and feature-length films; revel in a night of chaos and dance with live DJs and performances at their club night; dive into the immersive 3D world of queer virtual reality and explore the PIFF virtual platform for those staying at home – all experienced alongside multi-sensory performances and workshops where inspiring conversations are created and ideas are shared.
