Aug 10 Episode 281: Queer resistance and joy at VQFF

The Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF) is the second-largest film festival in the city and the largest queer arts event in Western Canada. Its milestone 35th edition (which kicks off on August 10) is a full-throttle, 11-day ride through 92 short and feature-length films from 27 countries, and it comes at a pivotal moment in queer history. Charlie Hidalgo, artistic director VQFF’s producing organization Out On Screen, visits the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss joy as a form of resistance, and the ways that VQFF is working to foster community and amplify queer voices during this time of increased intolerance against LGBTQ2S+ people.
