2026 Festival Schedule
The 6th Annual Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival will be hosted from March 26th - March 29th, 2026. Check out the schedule below to see the tentative films & related community event schedule.
TIGLFF's Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival is considered a family-friendly event. However, not all films are rated yet. For some individuals, particularly those who are a part of the transgender community, some of these films may be emotionally challenging to engage with. Due to occasional narratives of dysphoria, violence, & even death, viewer discretion is advised.
