If you live in New York City or its environs and love film and television, consider celebrating Pride Month by attending NewFest Pride, the annual festival hosted by New York's largest presenter of LGBTQ+ film and media. And if you can't get to the city this week, that's OK. You can still attend virtually!

This year's festival will take place May 30 through June 3 and include screenings of numerous queer films and television series as well as filmmaker Q&As and more. The festivities kick off on Thursday evening with an opening-night party and screening of "A House Is Not a Disco" at the SVA Theatre in the heart of Chelsea. Directed by Brian J. Smith, the documentary is "a compelling, lovingly captured portrait of Fire Island as queer paradise that sees past and present blur within the iconic beach town as it celebrates its collective legacy and redefines itself for a modern era."

Another festival exclusive is an advanced screening of the new series "Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home" starring drag queen Trixie Mattel and her partner David as they design a dream home fit for two. The event also includes a virtual Q&A with the show's star.

Since 1988, NewFest's mission has been to give voice and visibility to the wide scope of LGBTQ+ experiences through films and programs that entertain, educate, and empower. The organization holds several events throughout the year in addition to NewFest Pride. This year, it held NewFest Presents in March and Queering the Canon in April. NewFest36, the 36th Annual New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival, will be held in October.

To keep the festivities going all month long, NewFest has forged a partnership with Universal Pictures to present "Pride Summer Movie Nights at Rockefeller Center." On Saturday nights from June 1 through June 22, a different film will screen outdoors at the rink at Rockefeller Center, starting with 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar."
