These ancient vestig es of imperialism are used to police and punish LGBTQ+ peoples\, identitie s\, and relationships in 37 of the 53 Commonwealth countries\, leading to persistent prejudice from both the government and broader public that prev ent queer people from enjoying basic freedoms\, equal rights\, and human d ignity. \n\n\n\n  \;\n\n\n\n The principal aims of this film festival an d symposium are to highlight the brave cultural work being done through fi lm and to motivate audiences to stand up against these unjust laws and tak e action to change them.
