OUT North

Wednesday, 15 April 2026 until Sunday, 19 April 2026

YQFA exists to present film and other Queer art media to Yukon audiences and to encourage the development of such works by Yukoners.

Yukon Queer Film Alliance was incorporated as a not-for-profit society in January 2012 to address what we saw as a gap in Yukon's otherwise vibrant cultural scene.

We host the OUT North festival every spring and a film night every fall. From time to time we also partner with other organizations on special screenings of mutual interest to our respective communities.

 

The 2026 Program

Friday, April 17

Opening Film: To The Moon​
Kevin Hartford​, 2024

A heartwarming, offbeat comedy about love, self-discovery, and the beautiful mess of growing up—at any age. 

Sam (Jacob Sampson), a closeted single dad on the cusp of an empty nest, is trying to figure out what’s next for himself, while his savvy teen daughter Ella (Phoebe Rex) keeps things in check. When their eccentric new neighbour Claire (Amy Groenig) arrives on the scene, their lives begin to intertwine in surprising and delightful ways.

With sharp humor and tender moments—and dancing—director Kevin Hartford, joined by celebrated Halifax producer Thom Fitzgerald (Cloudburst, The Hanging Garden), delivers a winsome story full of heart, hope, and the unexpected rhythms of connection.|
