A fun and heartwarming collection of short films that celebrate authentic expression and supportive, sometimes quirky, community. Through mythical beings from space and sea, and Canadian history past and present, these films cheer youth on to feel proud of who they are today.

SHORT

A rarely told queer love story from Indian mythology on Ila and Sudyumna, a being whose identity shifts with the phases of the moon.

SHORT

Ten year-old Noel wants to be more like his sister. When an unwanted haircut sparks unspoken jealousy, he takes matters into his own hands. A tender portrait of longing and self expression within a normative family environment.

SHORT

A young, queer alien lands on Earth in the 1960s when the Canadian government was running secret tests to try and weed out ‘the homosexuals’. A delightfully quirky documentary about diversity, representation and space dust.

SHORT

A multi-dimensional storytelling experience about a gender-bending Pink Skunk fish who learns how to live and lead her community from the heart.

SHORT

A 19th-century tailor makes a dress for themselves to share their queer identity with their family. A soft and uncomplicated coming out story focussed on kindness and community.
