With you, we celebrated

A Decade of Love! 

 box_top.gif <http://img-ak.verticalresponse.com/email_layout/2940/box_top.gif> 

To our beloved QWOCMAP community,

It's been a week since we held our 10th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival. We're still buzzing from this milestone event.

Ten years ago, this Film Festival was founded with a healthy mix of film & social justice, public conversation & solidarity building. We were nurtured by your contributions - of love & compassion, moral support & humor, creative input, thoughtful feedback, and your time, talents and treasure. 

 <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?QWOCMAP/32a36e7b06/7fa7b04875/4962fe00e4>  <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?QWOCMAP/32a36e7b06/7fa7b04875/4962fe00e4> 2014 QWOCFF audience line <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?QWOCMAP/32a36e7b06/7fa7b04875/4962fe00e4> 

With you, we experienced growth so far reaching that it reminds us of the exuberant flowering of the most fragrant and delicious garden. The kind that is abundant enough to nourish us all.

At the QWOCMAP <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?QWOCMAP/32a36e7b06/7fa7b04875/42f67c5198>  office, we are filled with gratitude for your support and enthusiasm for our Film Festival. And we're filled with a sense of grace. To have the opportunity to do this work, and to give to our community, is the greatest gift.

Every year, absolutely stupendous volunteers make our Film Festival possible. Their dedication, generous spirits, hard work and general bad-assery, fill our hearts with admiration and love. We could not have grown 10 years strong without you!

This year, we were joined by Richmond, CA vice-Mayor Jovanka Beckles and her partner Nicole Valentino, who presented us with a proclamation that honored QWOCMAP and declared the city of

Richmond a LGBTQQ supportive space.

We deeply appreciate this recognition of our work, which was joined by a proclamation from California State Senator Mark Leno.

We are grateful for all of our Community Partners <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?QWOCMAP/32a36e7b06/7fa7b04875/31df9ae1c8> . For each film screening and our panel discussion, they served audience members food and drinks, helped to usher folks to their seats and represented the fabulous work they do in our communities.

It is because of our amazing Community Partners that the Queer Women of Color Film Festival remains FREE.

Thank you to the fantastic filmmakers whose films awed and inspired us last weekend. From QWOCMAP Filmmakers near and far, to filmmakers from around the world, seeing your dreams made into reality allows all of us to soar.
