New Visions

AGO Jackman Hall, 317 Dundas Street West at McCaul Street

Wednesday, June 1 at 5:30PM #InsideOut16

We are proud to re-launch New Visions formerly known as the Queer Video Mentorship Project after a two-year hiatus. We took this time to carefully research the needs of the LGBT youth and elder communities to redevelop this innovative, multi-generational video mentorship program. This year's video project consisted of two elders and two youth participants, all passionate new artists with a vision. Over the past six months, they have journeyed together uncovering the skills, joys and trials of videomaking in order to create short works that both challenge and touch us. The program, proudly co-presented by Inside Out and Charles Street Video, lies at the heart of the queer Canadian film and video community.
