Bent Sacramento LGBTQ Film Festival

Bent (formerly SIGLFF, the Sacramento International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) was founded by Allen Cole in Sacramento in 1992. Organizers joined forces with the students from the CSU Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Alliance, and the brothers of the Delta Lambda Phi Fraternity and received grant funds from CSUS Associated Students Inc. to use as seed money to get the Festival started. Held on October 8, 1992, the first year was a big success, with a sold out, one evening event at the Crest Theater. We continue this tradition of presenting the Festival in early October to celebrate "National Coming Out Day."
