Since 2007, Inside Out has produced a four-day festival in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. With the support of Lead Sponsor RBC Royal Bank, the Ottawa Festival showcases the best queer cinema from Canada and around the world. The event has received a warm welcome from the queer community in the region, building partnerships with local businesses and 2SLGBTQ+ organizations and experiencing healthy growth in attendance each year with the 2012 Festival attracting more than 4 000 attendees to 12 film programs and parties.

We all know we couldn’t make our festival happen without the help from our brilliant volunteers. From box office and front of house staff to our merchandise booth attendants, there’s a position for everyone!
