NewFest, a New York LGBTQ+ film and media organization, revealed the full lineup for their fourth annual NewFest Pride summer film series. NewFest’s five-day festival kicks off LGBTQ+ Pride Month from May 30 – June 3, 2024, in-person in New York and streaming throughout the United States, and will feature a mix of premieres and conversations, virtual screenings, and social events. The announcement came today from NewFest’s Executive Director David Hatkoff and Director of Programming Nick McCarthy.“It’s no accident that this year’s NewFest Pride starts on May 30; it’s part of our not-so-secret mission to celebrate Pride 365 days a year,” said NewFest Executive Director David Hatkoff. “We can’t wait to provide a space for the community to come together for bold new films and series, thought-provoking conversations, and joyful social gatherings. This moment calls for celebration and resistance, and we intend to offer opportunities for both in equal measure.”

“We’re delighted to celebrate highly anticipated films from TIFF, Sundance, and SXSW making their triumphant New York Premieres, and to launch the World Premiere of the evocative and textured HAZE from NewFest alum writer/director Matthew Fifer,” said NewFest Director of Programming Nick McCarthy. “We look forward to filling our venues with magical queer energy as we greet returning artists, welcome new folks to the NewFest family, and share unapologetically authentic, genre-expansive, and multilayered LGBTQ+ stories in such a dynamic space at NewFest Pride.”

NewFest Pride will showcase over 10 highly anticipated feature films and series, including the New York Premiere of Fire Island documentary A House is Not a Disco, which will open the festival, the World Premiere of psychological thriller Haze, and an advance screening of the Sundance crowd-pleaser My Old Ass The line-up includes films and series from and/or starring Elliot Page, Julio Torres, Aubrey Plaza, Dakota Johnson, Trixie Mattel, Fawzia Mirza, Twiggy Pucci Garçon, Brian J.
