JUNE 29 7PM Cactus Club presents Queer Cinema for Palestine (QCP) No Pride in Genocide 2026 A global film event, co-organized by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Our second year being part of this event and QCP’s 4th year hosting it. This year we paired the screening with our Solidarity Supper community meal Pride edition. LGBTQ+ folks (and the parents of lgbtq+* youth) are invited to join us for a free community meal at Cactus Club at 5pm, before the screening. Community partners: Blue House Film, Healthcare Workers for Palestine MKE, Milwaukee4Palestine, Milwaukee Illuminate Film Festival, SEEN Moving Image, Water Is Life Autonomous Campaign This screening follows our Pride month edition of Solidarity Supper a free community meal for LGBTQ+ people (parents of LGBTQ+ youth welcome!) Queer Cinema for Palestine began as an alternative ethical space for filmmakers who pulled or refused to show their work in the Israeli government-sponsored TLVFest LGBTQ Film Festival. Over the past six years, hundreds of filmmakers have shown their solidarity in response to the boycott call from queer and trans Palestinians. As Israel continues its genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank, and across historic Palestine and throughout the region, we condemn this violence and the might-makes-right order, and stand in solidarity with Palestinians. Israel continues to attempt to instrumentalize our identities as queer and trans people to justify its genocide against Palestinians, including murdering, blackmailing, and imprisoning queer and trans Palestinians. Accordingly, QCP will take place during June 2026, the month that marks Pride in many countries worldwide. We do so to continue our refusal of Israel’s pinkwashing. This year’s program focuses on the work of queer, Palestinian, and allied artists, across locales, in historic Palestine and the diaspora, identities, lengths, styles and genres to highlight art’s position in resistance and the struggle for liberation.
