A Place Where I Belong
The Vancouver Queer Film Festival presents A Place Where I Belong at the Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas on September 14 at 2:30 pm
Our world premiere is on Sept. 14, 2025, 2:30pm at the Vancouver Queer Film Festival. At the premiere we will also have a drag performance with Jaylene Tyme (Canada's drag race), Whore-ia Estefan, and up and comer Amanda Peters (an autistic drag performer who appears in the documentary), followed by an issues-focused talkback.
“A Place Where I Belong” follows six 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities as they navigate identity, love, and systemic barriers through an innovative non-profit program called Connecting Queer Communities (CQC). As the participants find safety and solidarity within CQC, their stories—ranging from self-advocacy and family rejection to the joy of coming out—highlight the urgent need for inclusive spaces. But with CQC at risk of disappearing, the film asks: what happens to a community when the only safe place they’ve ever known might be taken away?
