When Fairy Tales founders Trevor Alberts, Kevin Allen and Kelly Langgard kicked off the festival in 1998 they would never have imagined that in 2023 we would reflect on their legacy of over 1200
films screened. Films that many other festivals and distributors wouldn’t touch, let alone promote with bold, shameless and heartfelt elation. They, along with Fairy Tales’ first Festival Producer, Brenda Lieberman and every team member, festival attendee and supportive sponsor since, have something remarkable to look back on!

We cannot thank you enough for your past support and there are still opportunities to engage with this year’s milestone festival. We’d love for you to
be part of reflecting on 25 years of magic! Click here to review our sponsorship package, or simply reach out with your budget and/or
ideas to partner and we’ll get creative together.

Your support over these last 25 years has allowed Fairy Tales to show some of the most pioneering characters in Queer films. Because of you, gender and
sexually diverse Calgarians from all ages and stages of life have had the opportunity to feel seen, represented and celebrated on screen. You are a part of the Queer human rights movement, so much so that today Queer characters found in mainstream popular media are finally celebrating their own positive, purpose-filled, life-affirming narratives. We cannot thank you enough for that!
