CanFilm Day 2026: Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance

Celebrate CanFilmDay 2026 with Vancouver Queer Film Festival

Join us on April 15 for a special intergenerational, Pay-What-You-Can screening of Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance (2025), an award-winning documentary directed by Noam Gonick.

About the Film

Spanning decades of resistance, Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance weaves together rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts to trace the movements, communities, and acts of defiance that shaped 2SLGBTQI+ rights in Canada, from the streets to the House of Commons.

Powerful and deeply rooted in community, Parade offers an urgent and moving reflection on the struggles that brought us here, and a reminder of what remains at stake. This is a film meant to be experienced together.
