Stamped Film Festival was fantastic for our film Dance With Pride. Their communication with us was excellent, and although the distance didn’t allow us to attend in person, we followed all the event developments online. Hopefully, we’ll be able to attend in the near future — it looks fantastic, full of energy and a great vibe. Highly recommended!

STAMPED is such a gem of a festival. It’s welcoming, inclusive, and overflowing with heart. The programming strikes a perfect balance of funny, moving, and powerful stories from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and the atmosphere is nothing short of celebratory. The team behind the festival goes above and beyond to make filmmakers and audiences feel at home, and the fact that it’s free and accessible to the community is remarkable.
