NOTE: This festival is still taking place each week despite the COVID-19 virus. All festival dates have been relegated to private screenings with the same Audience FEEDBACK videos made for the short films, and recorded script readings performed by professional actors for the screenplays.
As soon as it is safe for the cinemas to re-open, we will be shifting to weekly film festival events with guaranteed full crowds.
A very insightful experience! The Feedback video was a gift and the entire team was extremely professional and helpful throughout the process.
- Kate Montgomery

The cinema is located in the Church & Wellesley area, where all of the Pride Events take place.
