Little Sister’s vs Big Brother at the queer film fest

Check out our video of the gala screening and panel discussion of the documentary

The Vancouver Queer Film Fest marked its 20th anniversary by celebrating another community landmark: Little Sister’s 25th anniversary.

The festival aired Little Sister’s vs Big Brother, a documentary about the bookstore’s censorship battles with Canadian border officials. The film follows the store’s owners as they took their case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

A panel discussion followed the film, featuring guest speakers Jim Deva, Janine Fuller and filmmaker Aerlyn Weissman.
