OCAD University and Art & Social Change welcome the Toronto Queer Film Festival


TQFF 2018: Decolonizing Sexualities. Queer and Trans sexualities and genders existed in the Americas long before Europeans arrived. 2 Spirit/Indigiqueer people have been persecuted ever since, not only by colonizers, but also by their/our own colonized communities.

OCAD University and Art & Social Change are happy to welcome Toronto Queer Film Festival: Nov. 1 - 4.

Upending mere reconciliation into decolonization in the Queer community means re-centering 2 Spirit/Indigiqueer people. TQFF’s theme this year is Decolonizing Sexualities. What does a decolonized sexuality look and feel like? What are alternative futures for Queer and Indigiqueer people freed from Christian-influenced censorship and shame? If a Queer festival doesn’t have power to give the land back, how can we give our spaces to Indigenous people?

Exploring these questions and more, the 2018 Toronto Queer FIlm Festival features twelve screenings plus workshops and panels from November 1-4 at OCAD University. In recognition of our festival theme Decolonizing Sexualities

The opening program is at Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave, Toronto ON:  https://torontoqueerfilmfest.com/product/indigiqueer/ 

The rest of the festival at OCAD.

Of special note is the Student Showcase, curated by three of our students: Lisa Duffus, Amanda Lindenbach and Jeremy Saya

over 45% of the films selected were made by Indigenous directors, with another 40% produced by directors of colour.
