History

Founded in 1997 and originally named Tranny Fest, the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival (SFTFF) was North America's first transgender film festival. Originally a biennial event, SFTFF screened films and videos by transgender and gender variant media artists whose work challenged stereotypes. As a result of overwhelming audience demand the festival became an annual event in 2005.
