Description

For the parent organization: "At Out On Screen, film-lovers, volunteers, and supporters of all kinds believe that film has the power to transform social and political landscapes. We curate films that illuminate transformative moments in the lives of queer, trans, and Two Spirit people, convene meaningful dialogue around issues relevant to 2SLGBTQIA+ communities today, and catalyze change locally and globally. We lead courageously, think strategically, and work together with committed partners to foster belonging, affirmation, and connections within our community and with other social movements. We are honoured to celebrate you and to celebrate with you the unique, strong and splendid queer communities in Vancouver and beyond that make us who we are."
