Doors Open Toronto returns next month, and Inside Out is proud to be part of a vibrant lineup of short films showing at the City Hall! We’re especially excited to present We’ll Go Down in History, a short film by Cameron Richards and Charlie Tidmas that spotlights a proudly trans football club ⚽
️
Presented alongside @reelasian, @regentparkfilm, @reelworld, @topalestinefilmfestival, and @torontojff, we’re honoured to share the space with our fellow film festivals at @doors_opento

🎞️We’ll Go Down in History (2025)
Directors: Cameron Richards, Charlie Tidmas
WE’LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY tells the story of TRUK United, a grassroots, proudly trans football club. Filmed over two years, it captures the team’s highs and lows on and off the pitch as they create a safe haven for their community in the face of rising transphobia.

This animation was created by Anoop Sidhu, a fourth year Graphic Design student who we had the pleasure of hosting as our Design Intern through @ocaduniversity’s Experiential Learning Placement Program.
For the past two months, Anoop contributed their motion graphics skills by translating @emmytran’s incredible Festival art into digital animations. We’re incredibly grateful for Anoop’s contributions, and to OCAD U’s Experiential Learning Program for helping us bring our Festival to life. 💗

Roll call! Torrance Shipman is on top of the world–until she isn’t. She’s perky, she’s fun…she used to be number one. When Torrance finds out the truth about the Toros’ routines, she realizes she’s in big trouble. Join us on May 4 for our special pre-Festival screening of Bring It On!💥
And ahead of the screening, our Festival programming team will be sharing a thorough rundown of what we’ve got planned for this year’s festival. Get ready!
