As it seems there has been some miscommunications recently there have been a few dates that have been messed up - so here is the REAL Queer Film Festival post - please pay attention to this one!

The 23rd Annual Queer Film Festival will be running from August 11th - 21st and be located at a variety of theatres Downtown, and yes, you will need to purchase tickets.

Pride UBC is happy to announce that we will be hosting the film on the 16th!
