Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures a wide range of pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement and its progress, and honours the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today. Rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts bring the viewer to the frontlines of the decades-long struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to addresses to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking resistance into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making this essential viewing for all Canadians. Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful: Parade is a vital new chapter in the queer film canon.
In English and French with English subtitles.
Join producer Justine Pimlott and special guests: Tim McCaskell, Syrus Marcus Ware and Cheri DiNovo for a post-screening Q&A on Saturday, June 14. Moderated by Susan G. Cole.
