Background
The film profiles Camp fYrefly, a summer camp program in Alberta that provides a safe space for LGBTQ youth.[2] According to Markowitz, "it’s important to show the public at large that this is a community of regular kids with regular kid problems. They are all regular kids at heart, they just happened to be really weighed down by a lot of this other stuff that is put on to them by the world."[3] The project was first announced as a documentary television series in 2021,[4] and was later revised into a feature documentary film.[2]
Release
The film premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival,[1] and will be distributed principally as a television broadcast on Super Channel in English and TVA in French.[2]
Awards
At TIFF, the film was named first runner-up for the People's Choice Award for Documentaries.[5]
At the 2023 Calgary International Film Festival, the film received a special jury citation from the Best Canadian Feature Documentary award jury,[6] and was the winner of the Audience Choice award for best Canadian documentary.[7]
