Inside Out, one of the largest LGBTQ film festivals in North America, is going outside! The Inside Out team has partnered with Hot Docs to bring a new movie series to outdoor and drive-in theatres across Ontario. The showcase launched in late July at Ontario Place, and moves to the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show at Fort York National Historic Site this month.

Seven feature films will screen before they hit theatres, as well as several Inside Out Award-winning short films. Programming highlights include Chutney Popcorn (Fri., Aug. 20), a comedy following a young, gay Indian-American woman who offers to be her sister’s surrogate, and Fanny: The Right to Rock (Fri., Aug. 27), a documentary following an all-female rock band reuniting after decades apart. Other venues include Prince Edward County’s Mustang Drive-In and Ottawa’s Drive-In Experience.
