This collection of short films and archival video provides a snapsot of Vancouver’s queer punk scene at the turn of the millenium. Queer Punk Collective/Faggo/Skinjobs co-founder Kim Kinakin and Skank/Cruising/Oddball co-founder Michael V. Smith draw from the archives of live performances, combined with indie film and video. If you want history to include your stories, you’ve got to document, document, document. This program is a testament to that: queers making art, building community and pushing the envelope. If you were partying in 1999 with other freaks, geeks & weirdos, this might be a walk down memory lane. If you weren’t there, this is a great taste-test of living Westcoast alterna-queer history. This program is curated by Kim Kinakin and Michael V Smith.
Panel and Q&A: Looking Back on the Impact of Vancouver’s Alterna-Queer Scenes with guest speakers Jonah Groeneboer, Kim Kinakin, Lisa G, Amber Dawn and Trish Kelly.
