"This year's theme for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF) is, rather fittingly, Still Here, and interestingly it wasn't chosen because of any COVID-19-related realities.It\n\nIt's so important for us to have youth-focused programming and for us to reach out to young queer trans and two-spirit people because for many of us who are older we never saw ourselves on screen when we were young people,\" said Ratnarajah. Thankfully through programming at festivals like this they are given many chances to see protagonists that reflect their desires, their interests and their identities.The young athletes in Changing the Game are those types of protagonists. Their stories are inspirational and not just for the kids who are athletically inclined. \n\ntook the idea for the film to GLAAD's associate director of transgender representation Alex Schmider, who works with entertainment and content creators on how to tell authentic and accurate stories about the trans community.\n\nThis year, 60-plus films from 10 countries around the world will be showcased at the VQFF.\n\nThe film is written, directed and stars trans actress Isabel Sandoval, who will join audiences virtually to discuss the film in a digital Q&A.B.C. talent is once again celebrated in The Coast is Queer programming.", "keyTopics": [{"text": "Transgender news stories", "score": 1}, {"text": "transgender", "score": 0.8378}, {"text": "bigger picture", "score": 0.6892}, {"text": "kid's
