CineSLAM

Vermont's LGBT Short Films Festival

Saturday, 28 June 2025 until Saturday, 28 June 2025

This film festival of LGBT-related shorts, which takes place during June Pride, brings together films from across the country and around the world. It allows us an intriguing glimpse of the diversity of life, struggles and triumphs of LGBTQ people and their allies in short narrative, documentary and art video formats. CineSLAM is programmed by Guilford, VT resident and Emmy-Award winning filmmaker, John Scagliotti, who created the first LGBTQ television series, In the Life, on PBS, which will be going into its 20th season this fall. Scagliotti was recently awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Marlboro College for his service to the LGBTQ and allied communities.

The Chessie Award, initiated in 2008, is a cash prize of $250, awarded each year to the Best Short at CineSLAM.
