​Our Goal: Education

The Desperado LGBT Film Festival showcases the best in LGBT film making. Our inaugural year was 2010 and 2011 will be even bigger and better.

Giving opportunties to gay and lesbian students to view films that reflect their culture as well as be part of the process of creating an exciting event like this, will empower and strengthen their character. This is a great leadership opportunity for the LGBT students of Paradise Valley Community College's P.R.I.D.E. organization. Read more »
