Queer Cinema for Palestine: No Pride in Genocide

Sunday 7 June 2026
7:00pm–10:00pm EDT
In Person
Paradise Theatre
1006c Bloor St W, Toronto, M6H 1M2
180 min.

Join us, Queer Cinema for Palestine (QCP), and Queers4Palestine for QCP’s global film event, screening short films and documentaries that continue to assert there is No Pride in Genocide!

All proceeds from tickets will go towards alQaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society who were foundational in establishing critiques of pinkwashing.

QCP is a collaborative Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) project that emerged as an alternative to, and to facilitate the boycott of, TLV Fest. Although their pinkwashing has failed, Israel continues to attempt to instrumentalize queer and trans identities to justify their ongoing genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing in Palestine and across the region. As queer and trans people, we believe in liberation and stand in solidarity with Palestinians. 

We are grateful for the support of our co-presenters and our community partners. Before and after the screening, we will have a community table for you to have a chance to learn about the work of our co-presenters. 

We are asking that participants mask in the theatre and when not eating or drinking. The space is wheelchair accessible with a bathroom on ground level. All films will have English subtitles.
