Queer Moving Images and the Fragility and Temporality of Their Existence - Curatorial and artistic issues on moving images in a queer context. Queer Moving Images includes texts, talks, films, music and lectures, all of which concern issues surounding the moving image in a queer context.

Essays such as Amelie Björck's To come into being in a queer time and Louise Wolthers' Queering the family: images of reproduction both make links to the film Spermwhore, the creation of which is outlined in On Research In What's Most Private by Anna Linder.

The somewhat overlooked film Mai Zetterling's Stockholm is discussed in detail within. Ingrid Rydberg's article further contributes to the knowledge of the unique Swedish film scene in the 1970s by addressing films such as Damned Queers, The Woman in your life is you and Eva & Maria. You are invited to take part in the panel discussion on Susan Sontag's time in Sweden and to follow the experimental cinematic process of Joey Carducci.

The volume also includes moving images; the film Spermwhore and Barbara Hammer's lecture MAKING MOVIES OUT OF SEX AND LIFE (and making it all transparent).

TERRITORY & SOLIDARITY: The daily work of CFMDC takes place in Tkaronto (Toronto) which is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We also acknowledge The Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee that covers the land of what is now called southern Ontario. We work with the knowledge of the importance of recognition of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the four First Nations Principles of OCAP®. As a Media Arts organization we draw your attention to the work of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC). As part of  anti-colonial solidarity, CFMDC board and staff proudly commits to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Calls to support PACBI and the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) come from Palestinian civil society and are grassroots strategies opposing the colonization of Palestine by directly targeting complicity.
