Join us for our April filmmaker happy hour at the Night Heron in Oakland. The venue is ADA-accessible and the event is a cash bar.

We’ll be joined by QWOCMAP, who will share info about their upcoming film festival in June:

QWOCMAP fuels creativity and leadership for LBTQIA+ BIPOC filmmakers, sparks new films, galvanizes collective action, forges solidarity, and strengthens movements.  Founded in 2000, QWOCMAP is a nonprofit organization that funds, creates, exhibits, and distributes films that authentically reflect the lives of queer women of color both cisgender & transgender, and nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and transgender people of color of any orientation.  Nearly 500 films have been created through our award-winning Filmmaker Training Program, the largest catalog of films by LBTQIA+ BIPOC filmmakers in the world.  QWOCMAP presents the annual San Francisco Queer Women of Color Film Festival, and provides critical funding for LBTQIA+ BIPOC filmmakers.  Our vision nurtures filmmaker-activists as leaders of social justice movements that incorporate the power of art as cultural resistance and cultural resilience, cultural reclamation and cultural renewal.
