Homotown Heroes

After a packed house at our first Run It Back screening, we’re thrilled to announce our next event: Homotown Heroes – a shorts program celebrating 35 years of groundbreaking Canadian queer cinema.

Short films are often our first introduction to a filmmaker—their first steps into a world of infinite artistic possibilities. Homotown Heroes spotlights the trailblazers who have shaped Inside Out’s history and left a lasting impact on queer film in Toronto and beyond. The Homotown Heroes lineup includes:

Steam Clean (1990), Dir. Richard Fung

13 Eggs (2022), Dir. TJ Cuthand

Making of Monsters (1991), Dir. John Greyson

Passing (2015), Dir. Lucah Rosenberg-Lee

The Housesitter (2001), Dir. Melissa Levin

Midnight at the Continental (2015), Dir. Sonya Reynolds and Lauren Hortie

Access Notes: The screening will have open captions. Paradise Theatre is a fully accessible venue. ASL interpretation is available upon request.
