SPECIAL GUESTS IN ATTENDANCE

Saturday, November 4 at 4pm - Metro Cinema

Buried within the woods of Alberta sits camp fYrefly, a haven for LGBTQ2S+ teens, far away from the fierce political battle currently being waged against queer expression and gender identity - particularly in Alberta.

SUMMER QAMP invites ALL audiences into the innocence and joy of a summer away with friends, while never losing sight of the bravery of these young protagonists whose very existence is challenged in their everyday lives.

One of the timeliest and truly important films we've ever shown, Rainbow Visions Film Festival is extremely proud to present this very special, one-time, Edmonton premiere screening of filmmaker Jen Markowitz's remarkable film. Following its 2023 TIFF World Premiere, join us for an afternoon of laughter, tears, emotion, and community.
