Queer City Cinema Performatorium: Festival of Queer Performance

On Friday the 13th, we spoke with the Artistic Director of Queer City Cinema, Gary Varro, about Performatorium Festival of Queer Performance.  In 1996 Gary established Queer City Cinema, a lesbian and gay film and video festival, which went on to include a touring component to many urban centres across Canada.  In 2005-2006, he took on the role of programmer with Inside Out, the lesbian and gay film festival of Toronto. This coming week, January 19, 20, and 21, Performatorium will feature performances by Cindy Baker, Heather Cassils, Zackary Drucker, Helena Goldwater, Jamie Lewis Hadley, and George Stamos.  We discuss the history of Queer City Cinema and the performances included in this year's Performatorium:  Festival of Queer Performance.
