To show our appreciation, volunteers receive a keepsake festival t-shirt, vouchers to see some of the world’s best independent films, and an invitation to our fabulous wrap-up party with prizes for festival involvement.
In a time of renewed pushback to queer, trans, and two-spirit storytelling, it is as important as ever to support artistic production that exemplifies the brilliance, diversity, and vision of our community. We hope you will join our team in making Canada’s largest 2SLGBTQ+ film festival a success!
