Our STory

EXPOSURES started in 2023 in response to the lack of gender diverse film screenings in Montréal. We are a trans & queer film organization dvedicated to providing easy access to queer and trans-made media, fostering a vibrant connection between gender-nonconforming filmmakers and Montréal’s trans and queer community. 

Since our inception, we have organised over 20 sold-out screenings, provincial film premieres and collaborated with established film festivals such as Image+Nation and the Toronto Queer Film Festival.
 
The collective was started by Iris Pint, a curator, film scholar, and PhD candidate at McGill University. Iris is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers whose expertise spans professional filmmaking, film scholarship, law, and trans rights advocacy.

Montréal’s first trans film festival.

EXPOSURES exists on the territories of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation, who are the custodians of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke (Montreal). Alongside this necessary but inadequate territorial recognition, we demand restitution and reparation for Indigenous peoples across all of “Canada”.
