As part of our annual Pride celebration, join us for a lively conversation on the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling in film and television.
From groundbreaking stories like Schitt’s Creek, Sort Of, and Wildhood to a new generation of queer narratives reaching global audiences, LGBTQ+ representation on screen has transformed dramatically over the past two decades. But as visibility grows, important questions remain around authenticity, inclusion, and who gets to tell these stories.
Join Canadian Club Toronto on June 8 for a panel discussion exploring how queer narratives have evolved from the margins to the mainstream, the cultural impact of that shift, and what’s next for storytelling. Moderated by Judy Lung, Vice President, Strategy, Communications & Stakeholder Relations, TIFF, the discussion will feature insights from:
Damon D’Oliveira – Producer and Partner, Conquering Lion Pictures
Peter Knegt – Writer, Filmmaker, and Award-winning CBC Arts Producer and Journalist
Michelle Mama – Award-winning Filmmaker, Producer, and Founder of GAY AGENDA
*A portion of the ticket proceeds will go to Rainbow Railroad
**The livestream for virtual guests will begin at approximately 6:00pm ET & a link will be provided closer to the event date.**
