Published on September 22, 2009 – image+nation, Canada’s longest-running Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) film festival, is always sure to shock, surprise and delight movie-goers with striking images that aren’t often shown on the big screen. This international festival has united film-lovers and filmmakers of all walks of life for over 20 years, with each year’s programme featuring the most audacious and provocative gay films of the year.
Presenting fiction to activist documentaries to short films, image+nation opens a window to the independent film scene both here and abroad, offering as many screenings as perspectives on the world of cinema rarely seen by the general public.
And just to give you a little taste of what’s in store this year, not only will you have the chance to discover fresh, new talent of up-and-coming directors, but also acclaimed works of renowned filmmakers such as I Can’t Think Straight by Shamin Sarif, a British, Indian, Muslim, Arabian, Christian, lesbian romantic comedy. Long live diversity!
