Pride Projected
Celebrate Pride at Hot Docs Cinema! Pride Projected is back with three special events hosted by some of our favourite local queer film icons. We asked Saffron Maeve, Michelle Mama and Peter Knegt for some non-fiction queer cinema of their choosing, and invited them to bring it to the main stage (our cinema’s glorious big screen and sound experience) to share with audiences throughout Pride Month.
