Queer Ontario is hosting a film screening and premiere of QueerEdge: From Gay to Queer Liberation directed by Dr. Nick Mulé as part of their 10th Anniversary celebration.
"Over its first decade, Queer Ontario has spent much of its time and resources in addressing concerns within the LGBTQ communities as with mainstream society," director and founder of Queer Ontario Dr. Nick Mulé said. 

The film interviews over 30 academics, activists, and artists who provide in-depth insights on their queer liberation sensibilities, contributing to a critical socio-political analysis of gender and sexual politics. Linking back to the principles of gay liberation in the Stonewall era to today's queer liberation movements. The interviews provide a critical analysis of the mainstreaming effects of LGBTQ equality movements versus the progressive, sex-positive views of the queer liberation movements.

The film further examines the space between those who are content with equality and those who continue to fight for liberation. As Mulé notes, ”Serious liberation work involves capturing those that society does not readily accept or respect.”

Nick Mulé, PhD, is the founder of Queer Ontario, former chairperson and current member-at-large. He is an associate professor at York University and the principal investigator of the Queer Liberation Theory: Resurrection & Development study.
