16th Annual San Francisco International Queer Women of Color Film Festival - 2020 16th Annual San Francisco International Queer Women of Color Film Festival

This year, QWOCMAP will premiere 29 brand new films in 3 screenings during our online live streamed Queer Women of Color Film Festival, June 12-14, 2020. From barren land around our communities and displacement that uproots us and weeds out who is welcome in our neighborhoods, to the insides of homes typically thought of as safe and nurturing, our 16th anniversary Festival Focus “SafeSpace/NoPlace: LBTQ People of Color digs up how spatial injustice seeds discourse and proliferates violence against oppressed communities. All films are Subtitled for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing, and ASL Interpretation and CART/live open captions will be provided for the live, interactive filmmaker Q&As.

A young Chinese nonbinary person with medium brown skin and short black hair, and a young Latinx woman with medium brown skin and long brown hair sit outside on a black bench, both holding up yellow fruit and looking at one another. In the background there are dark green rosemary bushes with purple flowers, and green trees with red flowers. The young Chinese person is wearing a dark navy windbreaker over a dark blue t shirt with white lettering. The young Latinx woman is wearing a jacket that’s blue on the outside and white with red stripes on the inside, and a warm brown shirt.

A genderqueer Asian American person with medium brown skin climbs polished wooden stairs, a serious look on their face. They’re wearing a low V vest, dark belt, and black jeans, and have short cropped black hair. Their left hand is grasping the banister, and their right hand is at their side, holding two empty glasses. Above them stretches a polished wooden railing, and below and behind them is a warm yellow and red carpet, chandelier, green plant, and two dark wooden doors.
