Video Out Distribution is a non-profit, non-exclusive distributor of media art on video to galleries, festivals, educational institution collections and broadcasters nationally and internationally. The primary activity of Video Out is to provide artist driven distribution services that promote the practices of independent media art and earn revenue for independent media artists. In addition, we provide curatorial, exhibition and research support through communication about the videotape collection. The foundation of both these activities is ongoing collection management and preservation activity. Founded in 1980 by the Satellite Video Exchange Society, the distribution services and the collection we manage are an integral part of VIVO Media Arts Centre. Video Out is located on the sacred and stolen territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations, in an East Vancouver warehouse space at 2625 Kaslo Street off Broadway near Renfrew Skytrain Station.

"We are two gender queens, gender outlaws, trans-dykes, gender troublemakers" so begins this intimate portrait of the video makers, two kick-ass radical transgender activists living in Toronto. Jeanne and Xanthra publish Gendertrash, a transgender zine, and give the dish on gay male misogyny and all of its complex articulations in contemporary gay culture.

The Bearded Lady tells the gay mainstream to shut the fuck up and listen, turn its scrutinizing eyes on their own transphobia, racism, and poorbashing, and to think hard about their misuse of the term "community". Sure to offend/empower/validate/piss off (something for everyone! Including lots of gratuitous beard and tit shots.)
