The 37th Vancouver Queer Film Festival returns September 11–21, 2025, as Western Canada’s largest queer film festival—committed to illuminating, celebrating, and transforming 2SLGBTQIA+ lives through cinema, conversation, and culture.

🎞 Featured Screening:
Join us for the BC Premiere of “Move Ya Body: The Birth of House”, a powerful new documentary from director Elegance Bratton that unpacks the radical, Black queer origins of house music in 1970s Chicago.

Blending archival footage, dynamic re-creations, and in-depth interviews, this screening is more than nostalgia—it’s a celebration of house music as both cultural resistance and queer Black joy.
