Every year, the Inside Out Festival celebrates the best of LGBT film. One of the five largest queer film festivals in the world, and the largest in Canada, close to 35, 000 people attend the screenings, artist talks, panel discussions, installations and parties that make up the 11-day celebration.

Last week, they threw a fundraiser to help support this year’s festival, which will run from May 17-27. Check out our photo gallery from the event, and start getting excited!

Tickets go on sale May 3rd, and there are features, shorts, and docs galore, including a great selection of Scandinavian film for this year’s Internation Focus programming. Buy Tickets.
