It's that time of year again. Our Executive Director, Scott, and Director of Programming, Andrew, will be making the voyage to Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival). As always, they will be bringing back some real gems to the Toronto and Ottawa Festivals.
But that's not all. This year, Andrew was asked to join the prestigious Teddy Awards Jury at the Berlinale where he will be lending his cinematic expertise to the selection process. Knock 'em dead!
The TEDDY AWARD – the most outstanding queer film prize in the world – is a socially engaged, political honour presented to films and people who communicate queer themes on a broad social platform, thereby contributing to tolerance, acceptance, solidarity and equality in society.
Inside Out’s touring program is back with Out There: Queer Shorts Across Canada Volume 2.
Out There is comprised of eight superb queer Canadian shorts that were audience favourites at Inside Out Toronto and/or Inside Out Ottawa in 2013.
This program will be touring Ontario throughout 2014 and our first stop is the 2014 Kingston Reelout Queer Film & Video Festival this Saturday, February 1 at 2PM.
All 23 years of Toronto LGBT Film Festival program guides are now available online. Yes, even the coveted 1999 edition with only one known pristine copy in existence.

A true Canadian iconoclast, acclaimed transgender country/electro-pop artist Rae Spoon revisits the stretches of rural Alberta that once constituted “home” and confronts memories of growing up queer in an abusive, evangelical household. Part travelogue, part character study, Chelsea McMullan’s singular film unfolds in coffee shops, bus stations, bars and recreation centres, with her camera finding odd angles from which to examine these communities that have arisen in the middle of nowhere.

Nonprofit Nerds Unite!
Vital nonprofits like Inside Out are able to flourish thanks in great part to the relationships built with amazing members and generous donors.
