A passive-aggressive tenderqueer couple sends their household into a quiet tailspin when they adopt an elderly dog with the same name as the unemployed couch surfer they just can’t seem to confront.
“In the Garden of Earthly Delights” explores the connection between bodies and spaces - the ways in which we inhabit, exhibit, through the experience of sensations and inhibitions. It celebrates the relationships that are enabled through the fostering of community; this extends not only to those we call friends, muses, lovers but also to our connection with the Earth and all that it provides.
From the dreamlike merging of bodies on celluloid film to an opera on trans liberation, our screening of experimental filmmaking celebrates artists working outside the norms of traditional filmmaking.
In this heartwarming ensemble comedy, Mary’s adoptive gay mother’s last dying wish was to reunite their all-queer volleyball team. Even with the challenges that she is faced with, including her own personal affairs, and financial troubles, Mary tries to fulfil the wish. She must convince her disjointed chosen family to join the one day volleyball league, with hopes of winning the cash grand prize to pay for a proper funeral for Mary’s mother.
Bold and provocative, this programme is an homage to the enduring relationship between queerness and transgressive art. Horror, filth and bad taste abound in a late night screening not for the faint of heart.
An exploration of care and support, this programme looks at our relationships with family, friends, coworkers, communities, and our own bodies. Trans Havens asks: Where do we turn to find comfort, home, and belonging?
“Every Time I Die” is a dark, poignant hybrid feature film that blends documentary with fiction. The film’s testimonies, along with surreal and fantastic scenes, come together to narrate death viewed from different angles: as related to transfeminicides and as social death that seeks to nullify through exclusion and silence those seen as uncomfortable by others.
An ode to BRAT summer. Transcending genres, limits, and the human body, this night of hyperpop dares to show us what’s possible on the other side. A collection of films from artists that embrace the chaos of the digital world and absolute aesthetic maximalism.
Spurs, saddles, and the open plains. Bring your best pair of boots and your hottest pair of chaps to enjoy a series of queer Westerns with us. Stay after the screening for a night of line dancing!
Recapture that feeling of waking up early on a weekend morning to watch some funky cartoons. Bring your favourite sugary cereal and cozy in to watch this showcase of animation from queer and trans artists, inclusive and family-friendly.
This collection is all about the steamy, sweet, unexpected, and heart-wrenching ways we love each other. From flirty flings to ridiculous rom coms, this programme is sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Films that paint a picture of the everyday lives of trans people out in the world as they navigate spaces such as work, prison, memory, or the late night commute home.
While the rest of our festival focuses on the present and future of trans cinema, our closing screening pays homage to the Quebecois trans pioneers without whom none of this would be possible. This event will take you on a journey across the history of trans cinema in the province, followed by a Q&A with the featured artists.
