Hello! As the genocides and wars rage on, cultural work that speaks to these times is a way to give our spirits some breath. Here are some festivals that have graciously included my work – which has always observed the cultural boycott of the apartheid (and made-up) state of israel.
i’m very proud to be included in every one. This summer, my movies “$4 Billion Reasons.” “M or F” and “Rural Butch Femme Rap” will be seen in Australia, France and/or the United Kingdom and online internationally.
AN/Other Film Festival (tickets) Another Film Festival puts people with disability at the centre of storytelling and filmmaking. Join us for a week of films by and about people with disability.
Encompassing a program of film screenings and conversations, AN/OTHER Film Festival 2024 presents diverse stories and perspectives from around the globe.
The program is shaped around three themes: Wide Open Spaces and Urban Landscapes, The Simple Things in Life, and Queer Minds and Bodies and Chosen Families.
All films are audio described and captioned.
Queer Minds and Bodies and Chosen Families
Screening 1 | Fri 19th July, 2024 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Screening 2 + Q&A with Steven Fraser | Sat 20th July, 2024 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Queer Minds and Bodies and Chosen Families examines the intersection of queer identities and disability, and difficulty of not fitting neatly into categories of disability, sexuality or gender. How do we navigate this in a world that can struggle to understand one type of difference, never mind more than one embodied in the same person?

36th Cineffable Paris International Lesbian & Feminist Film Festival (31 October -03 November 2024) have chosen to screen my humorous story about “date nights” and being queer outside of urban areas, “Rural Butch Femme Rap.”
From the festival website: ” The Paris Feminist and Lesbian Film Festival, Quand les lesbiennes se font du cinéma, started in 1989. The desire to organise a festival grew out of discontent and frustration with the Women’s Film Festival at Créteil: despite the fact that THE lesbian film always won the People’s Choice Award (prix du public) at Créteil, hardly any space was given to lesbian films and lesbian festival goers.”
