IMAGE+NATION

Cinéma Public is proud to partner with IMAGE+NATION and host a wide range of programmes as part of the 38th edition of the festival, which will take place from November 20 to 30.

A pioneer of LGBTQ+ cinema for four decades, IMAGE+NATION film festival LGBT2SQueer Montréal is the oldest festival of its kind in Canada, showcasing award-winning local and international films that strive to preserve the authenticity and diversity of LGBTQ+ voices while chronicling an evolving queer cinematic practice. IMAGE+NATION explores New Queer Storytelling – both the uniqueness and the universality of these stories – offering audiences contemporary representation of what it means to be LGBTQ+ in the 21st century.

IMAGE+NATION’s mission is to promote and prepare contemporary and future generations of queer storytellers while offering platforms for sharing LGBTQ+ stories and lives to encourage identification and empathy. IMAGE+NATION gives voice and visibility to the wide scope of LGBTQ+ experiences through film and filmmaking that engage, entertain and empower.
