QWOCMAP’s 13th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival will premiere 28 films in 4 screenings. The “Beloved Community” Festival Focus includes an “Unleash The Power” conversation on collective self-care for challenging political times. From the resilient wisdom of LBTQ people of color to the power of prayer for a young Muslim woman and a young Black Christian woman, these films encourage communities to find their squad and unleash their super powers to create change. All films are Subtitled for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing and ASL interpretation will be provided along with many other forms of disability access.

While Muslim and Christian women become shining beacons, queer Black women vanquish trauma, Vietnamese queers create a safe haven, queer/trans Latinx artivists soar, and buoyant passion saves the day.

Community Conversation
Unleash The Power: Collective Self-Care
4 PM, Doors open 3:30 PM
This community conversation shares the deep resilient wisdom of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and gender variant people of color. From navigating conflict to trauma stewardship, from decolonized food and diet, to herbal knowledge, this panel of community resources is a survival toolkit for our vulnerable communities in a time of political vitriol and violence.
Closing Night Screening
Tenacious for Love
6 PM, Doors open 5:00 PM
Running Time: 66
Heroic queer and trans people of color expunge malevolence and amorphous foes while masterminding plans for authenticity, intimacy, and self-care in a harsh world.
