Festival Description:

The 11-day Vancouver Queer Film Festival boasts the largest queer arts event in Western Canada and the second largest film festival in Vancouver. The range and quality of films is always absolutely amazing and accounts for the fact that the VQFF is looking forward to its 22st anniversary in 2010, a record of success also due to Vancouverites' appetites for good independent film. Each year a roster of international and local films is showcased representing the full diversity of the GLBT experience across the world. VQFF offers over $5,000 in juried and audience choice awards, masterclasses, workshops and industry networking events in addition to an array of parties and galas.
