The 2010 Queer West Film Festival
by STAFF
Saturday August 14th at 4:00pm The Revue Cinema is proud to host the 3rd annual Queer West Film Festival. This year’s theme of Queering Boundaries means going beyond a fixed identity and embracing fluidity. Though situated in the West of Toronto, The festival sees the literal city borders and boundaries as contested and in flux. Through the medium of film, the Queer West Film Festival is pushing for a more inclusive and complex queer identity; a queer identity that is necessarily shaped through interactions with place, space and community. At the same time, the sights, sounds and boundaries of Toronto's "West End" will be (re)claimed, (re)presented and (re)named as "queer". Toronto is a city where queers come from different spaces, converging and diverging to create their own sense of community, and the Queer West Film Festival emphasizes that sense of connectedness.
The mission of the Queer West Film Festival is “to provide a voice for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer youth by presenting films and videos that only represent the diversity of the GLBT community. By providing innovative, diverse, accessible, quality screen events, which promote/stimulate, educate, enlighten, support queer cultures and entertain us all..”
Tickets for this event are $5.00 or pay what you can
