Toronto, ON

For more than two decades, Inside Out has brought Toronto’s LGBTQ community together in celebration of the best queer film from Canada and around the world. Through our annual Festivals in Toronto and Ottawa, our filmmaker initiatives, our youth engagement and our year-round events and screenings, Inside Out is engaged every day in challenging attitudes and changing lives.

In 1991, Inside Out celebrated its first film and video festival with a small community of people who yearned to see film and video created by and about lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans (LGBT) people. Currently the largest event of its kind in Canada, the Festival entertains film buffs of all stripes, showcasing the best and most diverse work of interest to LGBTQ+ communities. Taking place over 11 days, the Festival draws crowds of 35,000 to screenings, artist talks, panel discussions, installations and parties that highlight more than 150 films from Canada and around the world.

The 2020 edition of Inside Out will be online. All-Access passes are available now. Passes will provide access to all online films and programs in the Inside Out Festival for one household from October 1-11. Films can be accessed on-demand via watch.insideout.ca, or by downloading the Inside Out app for Roku or AppleTV (launching September 2020). The full festival lineup, including feature films and special events, will be released on September 8th, 2020.
