SUMMARY:Amor(es) ciego
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented with the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.  \nCurated by Kathleen Mullen and Robert Rios \nAmor (es) ciego explores with angst and humour the many ways love shapes\, complicates\, and transforms our lives. Across these films\, love appears as desire\, discovery\, and devotion. It can illuminate our deepest truths while blinding us to our faults\, becoming both a blessing and a risk. \nThis year’s selection reflects the evolving landscape of queer Latin American storytelling\, where love is no longer confined to struggle alone\, but expands into joy\, vulnerability\, and possibility. Notably\, for the first time\, the program includes three films made by Latine filmmakers in the United States\, highlighting how migration and new cultural contexts can create space for different expressions of queer affection and belonging. \nTogether\, these stories invite us to embrace romantic love in all its beautiful contradictions. \nRead more about the films in the program here! \nTICKETS: \nTickets on sale now through the Vancouver Queer Film Festival website. For VLAFF passholders\, please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to screening time to claim a pass ticket from the VQFF Box Office table at the Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas (88 West Pender\, 3rd Floor\, Vancouver). Seating is limited\, subject to capacity.

SUMMARY:Our Body is an Expanding Star
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Semillites Hernández Velasco & Tania Hernández Velasco\nMexico\n2025 \n”There is no cinema more challenging than that which advocates for taking responsibility for our own bodies… in this sense\, Our Body Is an Expanding Star\, is emblematic.”\nErnesto Diezmartínez\, Letras Libres \nSemillites and Tania\, two queer siblings bound by a powerful friendship\, journey through the brown terrain of their own bodies – lands they once rejected. They traverse landscapes of skin\, dreams and viscera\, crossing into places that pulse with their ancestors’ memory and\, along the way\, encounter a constellation of flowers\, grasshoppers and fossils. Through collage\, animation\, manifesto\, dance and intimacy\, the film moves across scales of body and territory\, reimagining identity beyond Mexico’s colonial narratives. \n\nWorld Premiere\, IDFA Amsterdam 2025\nWinner\, Best Film\, Guanajuato Film Festival 2026\n\nTICKETS:\n \n

SUMMARY:Newborn
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Alejandro Zuno\nMexico\n2024 \nFeaturing powerful performances by Mayra Hermosillo and Andrés Delgado\, NEWBORN is a poignant exploration of love and identity. \nWhen their first baby is born with both female and male features\, a young couple faces a huge dilemma: while he thinks they should assign a sex surgically to their child as doctors advise\, she gets to know other intersex people and listens to their experiences\, starting to believe that they should let their baby’s body as it is. Their differences go stronger and a decision has to be made\, the most difficult of their life. \n \n
