Out in Africa Film Festival

Out in Africa is South Africa's pioneering LGBTQ+ film festival, screening in both Johannesburg and Cape Town since 1994 — the same year South Africa's landmark constitution was adopted. Thirty years of queer cinema have been showcased through this festival, which has played a crucial role in building LGBTQ+ cultural life in the country and providing visibility for South African queer filmmakers. It's one of Africa's most important arts events.

Johannesburg Pride

Johannesburg Pride has been running since 1990, making it Africa's oldest pride event and one of the first on the continent. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution explicitly protects sexual orientation — the first in the world to do so — and the October pride event reflects that unique legal position. The parade through the northern suburbs draws tens of thousands and is surrounded by a week of parties and cultural events.
