The Reelout Queer Film Festival is an annual 10-day event held in Kingston, ON Canada. We are one of the first queer film festivals in the calendar year and our festival exhibits independent, international films by and/or about 2SLGBTQ+ lives with a strong focus on the intersections within our communities. Films focusing on race, health, ability, class, and age are equally as important as films about sexual orientation and gender. Our festival usually runs from late January to early February. There are no travel funds for guests outside the U.S but we have been able to provide accommodations for international guests if they can afford their own airfare. International and Canadian feature-length films will receive artist/screening fees as well as Canadian short films. There are Audience Awards (title awards nothing monetary awarded) as well as the Betty Berghout award for BEST LOVE STORY and the Kim Renders BEST PERFORMANCES awards. Please do not submit films that you've already submitted in the previous calendar year. All feature-length films chosen for exhibition will be offered a screening/artist fee and all Canadian short films.

The market will be held at Modern Fuel which is located in the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning (370 King St W #305, Kingston, ON K7L 2X4). Modern Fuel has kindly donated their space which means there will be no cost for Indigenous vendors to participate. Each vendor will be provided with one table and two chairs. Due to limited capacity within the Modern Fuel space we can accept 10 vendors to participate in this event. Please fill out the form below and you will be contacted regarding your application in early October. More details will be provided at a later date (i.e. timing, set-up, take-down, etc.) Successful vendors will be asked to donate an item of their choice (maximum $20 value) to a draw for market attendees.

The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning is currently accepting applications for the 2025 Tett Artist Residency from Katarokwi/Kingston-based emerging artists across various disciplines, including visual arts, literary arts, photography, time-based media, curation, digital art, and more. Residencies are three months in length and selected artists will have unlimited studio access during that time. Four artists-in-residence will be selected for 2025.
The Tett Artist Residency is a production-based residency, where participating artists will have access to a dedicated studio space, Studio B, to develop or complete a project or body of work. A key expectation of the residency is community engagement. Artists-in-residence are required to participate in six (6) hours of community engagement activities, such as performances, artist talks, workshops, or other initiatives they propose. Importantly, the residency culminates in an annual residency showcase, where artists will have the opportunity to present their completed work or projects to the public. This showcase is a significant aspect of the program, highlighting the work created during the residency and offering artists the chance to share their creative journey with a broader audience.
