During the height of the lockdowns in the first year of the pandemic, a group of young creatives in Montreal musered to set out a public outdoor film festival which is . This free-admission event showcased that the collective desire of the masses to celebrate art with each other is what makes this community thrive.

In this spirit, I want to continue providing a film festival outside of institutional structures to ensure that the masses can keep commemorating the arts of moving images by artists of queer, black, indigenous and people of color identities in Montreal.

This event will happen on the night of 29th and 30th of March at CJE Montreal (460 Saint-Catherine St W bureau 602) on 18h00. After the screening of films from each category, the floor will be open for a Q&A discussion panel with the directors. Instead of awarding trophies, an honorarium will be given to each director. Furthermore, this is to highlight the selected filmmakers by getting to know them and their works. The festival will feature the same three categories of shorts from the first iteration: fiction/narrative, documentary, and experimental. In addition to this new rendition, a new category, Queer Spotlight, will be the new section of the event. This category is for those works of Queer/Trans BIPOC filmmakers whose story centers on queerness.
