\u201cIn the early days of Out On Screen, the act of 2SLGBTQIA+ people unapologetically taking up physical space and putting our <\/em>films on the big screen was revolutionary. This year\u2019s theme \u201cMake It Yours\u201d is not just an echo of the DIY spirit this Festival was founded upon, but also a roar for our collective future. Our shared experiences and collective dreams are returning to our screens\u2014big and small\u2014again in this year\u2019s wonderful program. I hope you find something you need in these beautiful films.\u201d \u2013 Executive Director, Brandon Yan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival\u2019s Opening Gala screening is the local premiere of Dave Rodden-Shortt\u2019s feature documentary The Empress of Vancouver<\/a><\/strong>, an ode to local drag icon Oliv Howe, crowned the 10th Empress of the Vancouver Dogwood Monarchist Society in 1981. In the 80s, Oliv\u2019s punk rock energy, gender-bending performances and DIY glam aesthetic spoke to a political and artistic shift in Vancouver\u2019s drag community. This proudly local documentary brings to light queer artistic legacies and histories that have previously been unseen. This film will be available exclusively in person on opening night, with a fabulous queer royalty-themed Opening Night Party<\/a><\/strong> to follow the screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our local shorts program The Coast Is Queer<\/a><\/strong> returns for its 25th anniversary year, available in person and online. Also returning are shorts programs: Obidian: Black Queer Cinema<\/a><\/strong>, subtitled AS I AM<\/strong>, and Two Spirit and Indigiqueer Cinema<\/strong>, which has been expanded into two shorts programs this year, A Brave and Tender Lineage<\/a><\/strong> and Sovereign Bodies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
