Deep Focus is a free workshop series that invites film lovers and emerging creators from equity-seeking communities to explore the many facets of film as a medium for creative self-expression, essential skills development, and social connection in a supportive online environment.

This writing-based workshop — part of TIFF’s Queer Becoming programme and inspired by Marlon T. Riggs’ documentary TONGUES UNTIED — invites participants to explore poetry as a means of self-expression, community building, and activism.

This workshop will take place via Zoom on Thursday, June 24, 7pm–8:30pm EDT. Participation is open to all, but capacity is limited and priority will be given to registrants who self-identify as LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or people of colour).

The deadline to register is June 23. You will receive the Zoom link via email on June 24 before noon!
