OutNebraska is proud to present the 15th Annual Prairie Pride Film Festival. For fifteen years, PPFF has amplified LGBTQ+ voices through film, bringing queer stories of identity, family, community, and belonging to Nebraska audiences.

As LGBTQ+ people continue to face cultural and legislative challenges, it remains vital that these stories are shared and celebrated. This year's films demonstrate the power of cinema to foster understanding, spark conversation, and strengthen the connections that sustain ourselves and our communities.

Thank you to our generous sponsors, dedicated volunteers, filmmakers, and audiences who have helped make fifteen years of Prairie Pride possible.

The Prairie Pride Film Festival is a program of OutNebraska.
