Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance

May 31, 2025, 11:45 AMTIFF Lightbox 1Parade: Queer Acts of Love & ResistanceDirector, Noam GonickCanadaLanguages: English, FrenchSubtitles English Film Synopsis: If there was ever a necessary time for an authoritative no-more-shit documentary about the history of Canadian 2SLGBTQI+ activism, it’s right now. Parade is that documentary. Featuring interviews with the who’s who of six decades of Canadian queer activism, along with astonishing archival footage—including crowds at the 1970s drag balls on Yonge Street)—it’s a far-reaching and thoughtful film that should be taught in schools (sorry, not sorry, Anita Bryant). But its heft doesn’t make Parade any less inspiring for casual viewers. If history is repeating, this documentary will give audiences the hope (and ideas and anger and empathy) to carry them through whatever comes next.
