Image+Nation

image+nation. LGBTQueer Montreal is an annual eleven-day film festival, which takes place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Held in November each year, the festival is dedicated to sharing the stories and experiences of LGBTQ+ people and is the first festival of its kind in Canada.

The festival's name was selected to work bilingually in both English and French; the words "image" and "nation" have the same spelling and meaning in both languages, and when combined into one name with the plus sign, representing "and" in English or "et" in French, the pronunciation remains homophonous in both languages with imagination.
