QWOCMAP will premiere 30 films in 6 screenings for our FREE 19th annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival, June 9-11, 2023 at the Presidio Theatre in the Presidio National Park. From the lush sageness of memory, movement, and Indigenous traditions of environmental stewardship, to the transformation of grief, and the mycorrhizal relationships between love, collective care, and disability justice, the Festival Focus "Forever Rooted" liberates spores of sovereignty and survivance.

All films are Subtitled for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and Audio Described for the Blind and Low Vision, and ASL interpretation will be provided along with many other forms of accessibility.

SOMA Pilipinas will be co-presenting the Closing Night Screening of Mycelial Care, including the Film: Powerlands directed by Ivey-Camille Manybeads Tso

A young Navajo filmmaker investigates the displacement of Indigenous people and the devastation of the environment caused by the same chemical companies that have exploited the land where she was born. On this personal and political journey, she learns from Indigenous activists in the La Guajira region in rural Colombia, the Tampakan region of the Philippines, the Tehuantepec Isthmus of Mexico, and the protests at Standing Rock.
