“The goal of the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) is to serve as a bridge between various communities.

Founder Madeleine Lim points out, many queer characters on screen, all the way through the 1980s, were not portrayed in a positive light.

“Almost all of our queer characters were dead, murdered, or depressed,” Lim said. “To have a happy ending in a film, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but you know, sometimes it still is.”

The festival showcases themes of perseverance, activism, and love, while exploring the complexities of ethnicity in the LGBTQ+ community.”
