The North African Queer Film Festival is streaming films about queer experiences in North Africa for 2 more days, till August 20.

The films in this program serve as a window into the historical presence of queer people in the region who have always been here despite marginalization, criminalization and erasure by the current systems of oppression in North Africa inherited from colonization.

The films seem to be free to stream but you can donate of your own volition. From the website:

100% of the festival's proceeds will be distributed among organizations in the region that strive to provide essential aid and services to LGBTQ + people in North Africa with a portion of the proceeds will go to support cultural and artistic initiatives in the region that cater primarily to the local queer community.
