QUEER PIX
Through Our Kaleidoscope
Absurd, diverse, abstract, and profound—this year’s Queer Pix celebrates a bold new wave of queer Latin American cinema that’s breaking rules and pushing boundaries. It takes us into unexpected worlds: mixes genres, experiments with style, and opens up fresh ways of telling queer stories. They’re funny, dark, raw, surreal—and always deeply human. At the heart of it all is a powerful interplay between life and death, love and hate, joy and struggle.
Curated by Kathleen Mullen, Robert Rios, Mary Galloway, and Maiya Dexel
Co-presented with the Vancouver Queer Film Festival
