Toronto's 2SLGBTQ+ film festival took place online this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Still aiming to be an international home and incubator for 2SLGBTQ+ emerging and established filmmakers, the festival included themed programming spotlights alongside its film line-up. It opened with Natalie Morales’ Language Lessons and closed with Bradley Bell's Alone Together.
The festival ran from 27 May to 6 June.
