"Lesbians have been an acutely under-represented voice in the film industry. We intend to build bridges among audiences, filmmakers and the community at large through the exhibition of Lesbian produced films and other events scheduled throughout the weekend." - AfterEllen Staff, 2018

"As a lesbian, I feel as if I've been pushed back into the closet. I looked forward to going to university as a teenager so I could meet like minded people, but those people like myself stay hidden out of fear of being labelled a bigot. It's lonely." -Anonymous (2021)
