2025 Festival Schedule
The 5th Annual Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival will be hosted at Green Light Cinema from March 28th - March 30th, 2025
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.
