The Tel Aviv International LGBTQ Film Festival: Late October 2026

The annual TLVFest, also known as the Tel Aviv International LGBTQ Film Festival, will take place in late October 2026. Over ten exciting days at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, the festival showcases a wide variety of films that typically don’t receive mainstream distribution in Israel. In addition to screenings, visitors can expect engaging workshops and special projects with filmmakers from both Israel and abroad.

The TLVFest offers a rich and diverse program while aiming to promote tolerance and pluralism among Israelis. In addition to international films, the festival places a strong emphasis on showcasing original films in Israel. It hosts an award-winning short Israeli film competition, allowing local talent to shine. TLVFest also celebrates LGBTQ culture by providing a platform for LGBTQ artists and creators from across the globe to present their work, creating an inclusive space for diverse voices. Whether you’re passionate about cinema, or a supporter of LGBTQ creativity, the Tel Aviv International LGBTQ Film Festival is a must-see event.
