Submission Information
The Seoul International PRIDE Film Festival (SIPFF) presents films by and about LGBTQ+ communities that remain underrepresented in mainstream Korean society. By professionally screening these films from around the world, we hope to amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals and provide opportunities for their stories to be seen and heard.
Moreover, by supporting the production and showcasing of LGBTQ+ films and works from diverse perspectives, SIPFF contributes to the expansion of Korean society’s cultural diversity and inclusive discourse.
SIPFF is a space that protects and promotes the rights of sexual minorities living in Korea and supports non-mainstream voices through cinema. The festival welcomes a wide range of films—whether they address personal or societal topics related to sexual minorities such as identity, discrimination, violence, or social structures. We look forward to receiving your work.
