Overview
VISIBLE, also known in earlier editions as Diverso Festival Internacional de Cine GLBT de Panamá, is a Panamanian LGBTI+ film festival dedicated to making queer stories more visible and creating a public space for education and awareness around sexual and gender diversity. It is notable as one of the country’s long-running LGBTQ+ film events and for helping expand the presence of LGBTI+ cinema within Panama’s cultural scene and the broader Central American festival circuit.[2][3][6]
