2025 Out On Screen Impact Report

June 11, 2025

Out On Screen was founded on the basic idea that our stories hold power. Our stories hold the power to find hope in challenging times. Our stories hold the power to help us imagine a better future. Our stories hold the power to create change within ourselves and the world we all share.

This past year, our work bringing our stories to the big screen and communities across the province has felt more urgent and impactful than ever. We have focussed our efforts across our programs on building up our 2SLGBTQIA+ community from within and fostering empathy and understanding in our allies.

We are proud to share a snapshot of the impact we have had on community and culture the 2025 Out On Screen Impact Report.

Just a few highlights from this report include:

  • 52% of all VQFF attendees attended for free.
  • 36% of Out In Schools’s school presentations were delivered outside the Greater Vancouver Area.
  • 129 volunteers contributed 1,432 volunteer hours of their time to support our programs.
  • Our work received local, national, and industry press coverage through 99 pieces of media, including CBC, Georgia Straight, Vancouver Sun, Playback, and The Hollywood Reporter.
