GREAT THINGS GALORE!
 


 
The 10th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival celebrates A Decade of Love! with 32 new films in 4 screening programs that are fully captioned and subtitled. For the first time ever, ALL the films, including world premieres and festival circuit faves, will be accessible to Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing members of our community. Our 10th anniversary will showcase films from the QWOCMAP Film & Freedom Academy tour of California, and new documentaries from Colombia and Paraguay.
 
From the first bloom of desire between two queer Asian women to a juicy Black femme understanding her own allure, from young Iranian and Black Latina girls budding with their own power to the monumental strength of queer Asian refugees, these films sow seeds of fearless resistance, and cultivate joy and liberation.
