To Be Part of Comcast X-Finity LGBTQ Film & TV Collection

Pleased to announce:

Frameline Distribution on Comcast XFINITY LGBTQ Film & TV Collection

Frameline Distribution is proud to announce the release of 15 titles on the 

Comcast XFINITY LGBTQ Film & TV Collection, including two feature-length 

films and 13 short films. Here in the Bay Area, the buzz is mounting for Frameline's 

upcoming 11-day Festival (June 15-25), featuring over 100 programs exhibited 

across San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. But it is through the Frameline 

Distribution partnership with Comcast XFINITY that LGBTQ community members 

outside the Bay Area, from North Dakota to West Virginia, will see the best in 

LGBTQ cinema.

Frameline Distribution has been distributing LGBTQ films for over 35 years, with 

an emphasis on those most underserved by mainstream media-youth, elders, 

people of color, and transgender and gender expansive people. This collection, 

available to all XFINITY TV subscribers through XFINITY On Demand or at 

xfinity.com/lgbtq, fulfills just this promise to the community through an emphasis

on social justice documentaries about queer and trans people of color (QTPOC), 

short films emphasizing youth experiences, and others in the community who are 

marginalized.

In Marco Castro-Bojorquez's award winning feature-length documentary El Canto 

del Colibrí, (made in participation with Somos Familia and BAYCAT), Latino 

immigrant fathers explain their acceptance of their LGBTQ children, delving into 

issues of prejudice, isolation, and religious and cultural beliefs. This film is in 

Spanish with English subtitles.

In the second feature length film, Treasure: From Tragedy to Trans Justice, 

A Detroit Story, director dream Hampton examines racism, transphobia, the 

exploitation of sex workers, classism, and the continued criminalization of black 

bodies while painting a portrait of one transwoman of color who died violently in 

2011.

The 13 shorts in the collection primarily feature youth exploring intersectional 

identities between race and culture and gender identity/sexual orientation, as well 

as other titles addressing bullying, ableism, family acceptance, and other issues.

Films will be available to all XFINITY TV subscribers through XFINITY On Demand 

or at xfinity.com/lgbtq through the end of 2017. The Comcast XFINITY LGBTQ 

Film & TV Collection features more than just Frameline Distribution titles; it is 

a large, community-curated collection of movies and shows featuring 

unapologetically LGBTQ characters and storylines.
