Gabriel Drolet-Maguire, a queer fashion designer living in Montréal, takes us into their artistic world to speak about their HIV diagnosis and the process of acceptance that led them to reach out to the HIV-positive community. _It Will Always End in the End_ is a timely and hopeful look at past and present day HIV activism in Quebec.
Retracing Their Steps

Among them are Michael and René, the first couple to marry in Canada, Linda and Catherine, two owners of the lesbian bar Le Kiev, and Kimura, multidisciplinary artist of diverse origins. The portraits of these diverse characters bear witness to the diversity of Mon...
Eviction
Since 2010, Parthenais has held within its walls the life of a whole queer community. They are gay, lesbian, trans, and they live together in Centre-Sud in the heart of Montreal, in a triplex that is falling apart. Between the parties that sometimes welcome more than two hundred people until the wee hours of the morning, the collective dinners, the great joys and the small despairs, this old fl...
Y'a une étoile
Samuel LeBlanc, a young transgender musician, undertakes in an artistic process the search for a rural queer community in his native Acadie.

Queerying Nature
For the past twenty years, scientists, armed with a fresh and liberated perspective, have revealed an animal world where sexualities, genders, and families rhyme with diversity. Being queer: it's natural! From one encounter to another, the film intertwines the reflections and emotions of two artists inspired by this queer nature and the plurality of animal behaviors, poetically illustrated.
First Months of Freedom
Cat, a transgender woman from Tennessee, got off parole in 2020. This film documents her first months of freedom in the pandemic. The piece was composed from phone videos, Skype calls, archival material, and original footage. Cat shares stories from her childhood and her life inside men's prisons, including her relationship with her husband and former cellmate who remains incarcerated.
Thank God I'm a Lesbian
Twelve Canadian, American and French lesbians of various ages, colours and cultures talk candidly and humorously about the many aspects of the lesbian identity. Far from being dogmatic, this documentary is an upbeat series of standpoints.
Le FHAR
In 1971, the Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire (FHAR) participated in the May Day parade and denounced sexual discrimination. The images recorded during the demonstration punctuate excerpts from a public meeting where the issues raised by the movement are discussed. Normative heterosexuality being the reflection of bourgeois society, conscious homosexuality represents a revolutionary fo...
It's Alright Michel

En se berçant sagement en compagnie de sa vieille chienne Sophia, Michel Gagnon doit maintenant se résigner à faire le deuil d'une vie débridée et sans compro...
