Events Description
We’re moving! TQFF is announcing big changes with this one-night-only film screening of The Nest, an Official Selection of Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, 2025 and a Canadian premiere of the short film Rosebud.
Join us at CineCycle at 6:30 PM for a community mixer with music, appetizers, and drinks before we settle in at 8:00 PM for the screening.
Please note that this is a Masked Event. We ask that attendees keep their masks on when they are not eating or drinking.
Rosebud
Emily Coutts • 13 min • Canada • 2023
While grieving the loss of her virtual best friend, introverted Margot is inspired to live life to the fullest for a day by signing up for a (children’s) dance class.
The Nest
Chase Joynt and Julietta Singh • 89 min • Canada • 2025
At the end of her mother’s life, decolonial writer Julietta Singh returns to say goodbye to her childhood home. As she digs into the history of the house, she uncovers 140 years of forgotten matriarchs and political histories she never knew. In this genre-defying cross-community collaboration, a single home is transformed from a place of siloed stories into a site of radical potential.
