Join us for the Manitoba premiere of PARADE: QUEER ACTS OF LOVE & RESISTANCE.
This film captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.
Through rarely seen archival footage and first‐person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.
Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful; PARADE is a vital new chapter in the queer canon. It premiered as the Opening Night Film at the Hot Docs Festival in April 2025, and was selected as an Audience Top 10 film. This screening marks its premiere in Manitoba and Western Canada.
Prior to the film:
Join us in Bonnie & John Buhler Hall to explore the new exhibition Love in a Dangerous Time: Canada’s LGBT Purge and participate in an art making activity.
📽️✨The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q and A with Albert McLeod, Connie Merasty, Myra Laramee, Robin Tyler, producer Justine Pimlott, and writer and director Noam Gonick.
