Support the 75 SHOTS Lifeline
75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema is a platform for freedom of expression.
We equip queer BIPOC filmmakers, especially those living under censorship, criminalization, or threat, with the tools, training, and community they need to tell their own stories and reshape dominant narratives.
But make no mistake, these stories aren’t defined by oppression.
They’re bold, uplifting, human, and full of creative power.
They reclaim joy, speak truth, and connect us across borders.
Your donations help us fight discrimination through film, not with pity, but with perspective. By providing the structure behind the stories mentorship, mobile tools, streaming, and solidarity you’re fuelling a global archive of resistance, beauty, and belonging.
World Pride in Amsterdam
From 25 July to 8 August, our members will be at World Pride in Amsterdam, but we need your support to get there. Our goal is $6,000.
We are honoured to have received the Empowerment Fund from WorldPride to deliver Pocket Cinema workshops for queer refugees as part of our Solidarity in Motion programme. In addition, we were selected from over 400 applicants worldwide to host a panel at the Human Rights Conference, bringing together our members and allies on an international stage. While these recognitions make this opportunity possible, they do not cover travel or visa costs.
The panel brings together writers, filmmakers, and activists including Karin Hazé, Unoma Azuah, Lily Alexandre, Aaron Pollard, Carl Collison, TheUnClassified, Prince Frimpong, Mwambaba, and Juju, in conversation with moderator Yaël Pool, to examine ethical storytelling, censorship, collective authorship, and transnational queer narratives. Every contribution will go towards covering travel costs and enabling our members to attend safely and fully participate.
We are stronger together.
