About Us
Mission
Our Mission is to empower Bi+ filmmakers with a film festival that centers on the Bi+ umbrella, including bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, multisexual, fluid, omnisexual, or anyone attracted to more than one gender. The festival stages a program of independent features, short films, and digital media from Bi+ filmmakers and Bi+ content aligned with the Bi-BQ, a local Bi+ Pride event on the week before SF Pride, and Bi+ Visibility Week around September 23rd.
Vision
Our Vision aims to promote bisexual+ visibility and celebrate cinematic excellence in our community. We have two yearly screenings showcasing community-driven films to a broader LGBTQ+ audience. These screenings inspire creativity, encourage introspection, and explore bisexual identity through cinema.
BiFF Screening Committee Responsibilities
The BiCONIC Bi+ Film Festival Selection Committee's main responsibility is to preview films – shorts, and other forms of digital content – and offer their input on whether they could belong in any of BiCONIC’s annual programming.
