The showcase is timed to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month, highlighting films that act as acts of remembrance and shape shared history.
The festival kicks off on October 11 with a screening of "9 to 5" as a tribute to Dolly Parton. Featured films include "Elsinore," a story about actor Ian Charleson, and "Clarissa," based on Mrs. Dalloway and starring David Oyelowo.

Specific screening dates and venues have been announced for "9 to 5," "Mouse," "Tangles," "Clarissa," "Coward," and "Elsinore" across San Francisco theaters.
