Queer Now

Queer Now is designed to answer two questions:

Where are we at in the current moment of LGBTQIA+ backlash, regionally and globally, and what can filmmakers do to shift this narrative?

How can we build solidarity between advocates, academics, NGOs, storytellers, and more to harness narrative strategy to protect queer communities, preserve LGBTQIA+ rights, and build more liberated queer futures?

Following Doc Society's Queer Impact Producer Lab in New York and the Queer Now Lab in partnership with CPH:DOX in Copenhagen, we are now hosting a third edition in South Africa in 2024. Partnering with the largest gathering of LGBTQIA+ changemakers globally, ILGA World, to build international networks and support global majority storytellers, movement leaders and those on the frontlines from the African continent.
