Fierté Sudbury Pride, Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury and the Queer North Film Festival invites everyone to come and experience this set of short films and learn about Palestinian life and resistance.
The program, No Pride in Genocide, Queer Cinema for Palestine is a global film event, co-organized by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and 100+ partners in 30+ countries, from China to Ecuador. The third edition of QCP invites grassroots, solidarity and arts organizations across the world to host screenings of a stellar collectively curated short film program throughout the month of June 2025.
This year’s 90-minute program and filmmaker Q&A focuses on the work of queer, Palestinian, and allied artists, in historic Palestine, across the diaspora, and beyond. The program features a diverse mix of identities, lengths, styles and genres (doc-hybrid, experimental, fiction, and animation) to highlight the key role of art in resistance and the struggle for liberation.
