Out On Screen, producer of the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, invites you to submit your film or video for consideration for our 19th annual event, to be held from August 16 – 26, 2007. The VQFF is the largest queer media event in Western Canada, and last year we hosted 11 days and nights of outstanding cinema, performances, networking events and parties, all with the backdrop of beautiful mountain and ocean views.

The Vancouver Queer Film Festival privileges outstanding innovation, regularly showcasing work that confronts stereotypes, pushes boundaries, provokes and titillates, and, above all, highlights the tremendous diversity of queer artists working in Canada and internationally. We present over 120 films each year, including short- and feature-length documentaries, narrative and experimental works.

Situated in one of the most spectacular cities in the world, we welcome visiting artists and industry professionals, and provide great opportunities for both work and play. We offer over $5000 in juried and audience choice awards, masterclasses, workshops, and industry networking events in addition to an array of parties and galas.

Please note:
We are also accepting year-round submissions for our Out in Schools program, which brings queer cinema to high school classrooms. Click here for more information.
