18th Annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival

QWOCMAP will premiere 35 films in 5 screenings for our FREE 18th annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival, June 10-12, 2022 at the Presidio Theatre in the Presidio national park. The 2022 Festival Focus, “Love, Embodied” transmits networks of liberatory intimacy and collective care that traverse time and place. From the pulse of remembrance to plexus of kinship and community, to laughter that quickens to desire and the rhythmic rituals of dance and poetry, these films breathe expansive possibility into love and birth new worlds. All films are Subtitled for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and Audio Described for the Blind and Low Vision, and ASL interpretation will be provided along with many other forms of accessibility.

ABOUT QWOCMAP

QWOCMAP creates, exhibits, and distributes high-impact films that authentically reflect the lives of queer women of color (cisgender & transgender), and gender variant and transgender people of color (of any orientation), and challenge the roots of vital, intersecting social justice issues that concern our multiple communities.
