Opening Weekend at VQFF
Winner 2017 Audience Choice at Sundance
Now that a fabulous Pride is done, and with just a few days to catch your second wind, it’s time for another huge Vancouver LGBTQ2+ Festival. The 29th Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF) kicks off today with the festival’s opening feature, I Dream in Another Language.
The award winning film will take you on a long standing feud that despite seeming irreconcilable, gives way to a long lost love story.
Aug 10, 7 PM, Vancouver Playhouse, and Aug 12, 4 PM Cineplex International Village.
The Opening Gala follows the festival’s first screening at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza.
Behind the Curtain: Todrick Hall
VQFF‘s Youth Gala will surely inspire queer, trans, and allied youth, as well as those young at heart. Talented YouTube and Broadway sensation, Todrick Hall, launches his full scale original musical Straight Outta Oz. Director, Katherine Fairfax delivers a film that documents Hall’s journey from behind the scenes.
Behind the Curtain offers an intimate look into the creative process and tells an artist’s coming-of-age story at the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality.
