queering boundaries
Queering Boundaries means going beyond a fixed identity and embracing fluidity.
Though situated in the West of Toronto, we see the literal city borders and
boundaries as contested and in flux.Through the medium of film, the Queer West
Film Festival will push for a more inclusive and complex queer identity; a queer
identity that is necessarily shaped through interactions with place, space and
community. At the same time, the sites, sounds and boundaries of Toronto's "West
End" will be (re)claimed, (re)presented and (re)named as "queer".
The Queer West Film Festival is looking for submissions of short films
between 5 and 15 minutes. Since the Queer West Film festival (QWFF) aims to
contest city and identity boundaries, you don't necessarily have to live in
the Queer West neighbourhood.
Toronto is a city where queers come from different spaces, converging and
diverging to create their own sense of community, and the Queer West Film Festival
emphasizes that sense of connectedness.
Submit a film that exemplies how you construct or deconstruct identity,
how you (re)claim space and/or how predetertimined boundaries affect you.
Queer West Film Festival - Mission Statement - Our mission
is to provide a voice for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer youth
by presenting films and videos that only represent the diversity of the GLBT
community. By providing innovative, diverse, accessible, quality screen events,
which promote/stimulate, educate, enlighten, support queer cultures and entertain
us all.

Saturday August 14th— Cinema evening at the 3rd annual
Queer West Film Festival (Full details of all films to be shown and
press release by Sunday August 1st)
Where: The Revue Cinema
Address: 400 Roncesvalles Avenue
Start Time: 4 pm
End Time:6 pm
Cover $5/PWYC
Event Description: This year the 3rd annual Queer West Film Festival
is Queering Boundaries. We are excited to screen films that question the boundaries
of the home, the body and the mind. Films that create a dialogue about racialized/trans/queer
identity. Films that rethink and redefine the queer subject on screen. Mostly,
the films screened at the Queer West Film Festival strive to broaden the notion
of identity through each films narrative (de) construction. The QWFF will also
be focusing on the boundary queering work of Toronto’s Triangle Program through
a brief 15 year retrospective. http://triangleprogram.ca/about-2/
