Queer North Film Festival has become one of the largest LGBTQ- themed film festivals in Ontario, and is currently the only queer film festival in Northern Ontario. Queer North celebrates the diversity of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender & two-spirited communities through quality cinema. In this our 9th edition, Queer North spans 4 days in June drawing attendees for an in-person in-theatre festival experience with film premieres, artists talks and socials that focus squarely on queer-themed films & videos from Canada & around the world. To enhance Queer North Film Festival’s impact, audience & jury awards are an important component.
