Participating Artists: Cecilia Berkovic, Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, Barry Doupe, Richard Fung, Dana Inkster, Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard (2boys.tv), Deirdre Logue.

Proudly in its third year, Video Art Is Queer showcases seven bold new videos by some of Canada's most groundbreaking queer artists. Winnipeg duo Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan humourously explore the ins and outs of Canadian sex, local artist Cecilia Berkovic brings a queer birthday shout-out to the screen, and Vancouver's Barry Doupe creates an animated sculpture. Montreal's film-noir inspired 2boys.tv offer an expressionistic musing on queer consciousness, while Toronto artist Deirdre Logue delivers an anxiety inducing performance-based piece. Finally, watch out for new works by Alberta-based Dana Inkster, who explores narrative and cultural representation, and Toronto's own Richard Fung, who's experimental work deals with race, queer sexuality, and personal history.
