Overview

The BENT Film Festival Grant continues the legacy of Sacramento's longest-running LGBTQ+ film festival, offering $500 to $1,500 to support projects that highlight LGBTQ+ experiences and queer stories. This grant prioritizes applicants who self-identify as LGBTQ+, are based in the greater Sacramento area, and are working on projects that foster community visibility. The initiative aims to empower early-career filmmakers and artists, promoting inclusivity and creativity within the LGBTQ+ community.

Following the close of the festival, BENT’s leaders created this grant opportunity through the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, continuing BENT’s mission of supporting LGBTQ+ filmmakers and artists from across the greater Sacramento region.
