From film to festivals and everything in between, check out where you can find us this month.
Now that we’ve all recovered from Pride, here’s what you might’ve missed. July has been packed with queer joy, community, and film, and we’re proud to have co-presented and been part of so many incredible events. Check them out below—and mark your calendars for what’s still to come!
BLK:Inside Out at Paradise
We’re still glowing from BLK: Inside Out! An unforgettable night of Black queer storytelling, community, and celebration, created by our friends at Black Queer Filmmakers Summit—the brilliant minds behind the event. Inside Out was proud to co-present this powerful night that brought together filmmakers, artists, and community for an evening full of joy, reflection, and connection.
A huge thank you to BQFS for inviting us to be part of this special night and to everyone who came out and filled the space with so much love.

Co-Presentation: Saint Maud (Dir. Rose Glass) at TIFF50
Making her feature film debut, writer-director Rose Glass cannily lures the audience into this disturbed psyche, steadily setting up her veritable diary of a country nurse for an unnerving and ultimately shocking trajectory.
Join Inside Out on July 18 at TIFF for a special screening of Saint Maud as part of The TIFF Story in 50 Films. This chilling psychological horror will be introduced live by Peter Kuplowsky (Lead Programmer, Midnight Madness; International Programmer, US Indies), with a pre-recorded message from director Rose Glass.
Co-Presentation: A Nice Indian Boy (Dir. Roshan Sethi) at Regent Park Film Festival
Join Regent Park Film Festival and Inside Out on July 23 for a special outdoor screening—and come early for a pre-show celebration starting at 7:30 PM! Settle in with your blanket and popcorn and enjoy an evening of community and creativity, featuring a joyful drag performance by Mango Lassi, drop-in zine-making with Aniqah Rahman, henna by Aniqa Al-basith, and hands-on crafts, sari tutorials, and a collaborative art piece led by Queer South Asians.
Don’t forget to stop by our Inside Out table—we’d love to say hi! Plus, connect with other community tablers including Carousel Cafe, Toronto Queer Film Festival, and brOWN/out.
