The Queer Care Caravan Film Library is open from 17 January to 22 March, and will be open 12pm – 4pm on Saturday 14 March 2026. For more information, please click here.

As part of the year-round programme, The Queer Care Caravan has been exploring resilient LGBTQIA+ community-led care across a Film Library exhibition and workshops. The project comes to a close on 22 March, with the Festival offering a space to delve deeper into themes of the exhibition with the final workshop of the series, informal Morning Meetings and film screenings featuring one International Premiere, one UK premiere, and one World Festival Premiere.

Film Screenings at The Maltings’ Cinema at the Barracks

In an exploration of queer resistance Q-LoXXX (Nika Sorzano, Netherlands, 2026, World Festival Premiere) is a speculative utopia shaped by queer ghosts, developed through collaboration with queer Latinx asylum seekers and migrants connected to Papaya Kuir. Lesley Loksi Chan reflects on what it means to inherit images from queer communities in Lloyd Wong, Unfinished (Canada, 2025, UK Premiere), exploring the meaning of incompletion as they pick up Lloyd Wong’s work-in-progress based on his experiences living with AIDS in Toronto.

All Good Medicine (Canada, 1993, International Premiere) sees interdisciplinary artist, ethnobotanist, and educator Tʼuyʼtʼtanat-Cease Wyss infuse this self-help style video with a legend about the creation of sacred healing herbs as two West Coast women discuss their uses in treating common ailments.

Screenings will be followed by a Q&A with Queer Care Caravan residents Conal McStravick, Cannach McBride and Mikiki.

Palliative Care Workshop at Town Hall Guild Hall

Following two workshops on Community Care and Self Care, facilitated by Queer Care Caravan residents Cannach MacBride and Conal McStravick, the final workshop of the series is a Palliative Care workshop facilitated by Toronto/Tkaranto–based artist and community activist Mikiki. The workshop invites a participatory exploration of grief, communitarian care, and ways of imaging what we might palliate. Focused on somatics, parasympathetic nervous system regulation, and self-soothing strategies, the session approaches communitarian grief work and care as forms of maintenance, connecting to Mikiki’s practice of death cleaning as an integral part of life.

Morning Meetings at 22 Bridge Street

In an active engagement with the Queer Care Caravan Film Library, informal Morning Meetings at 22 Bridge Street offer an opportunity to activate solidarities over hot drinks and pastries. Each morning will softly extend the themes of the project: community care, self care and palliative care as three pillars of care drawn by LGBTQIA+ support groups and alternative healthcare.
