Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) presents Starwalker

Welcome to the House of Borealis! For Star (Dillian Chiblow), this East Van drag house is the home they’ve been searching for, an alternate family that’s genuinely supportive and inspiring. At its centre is Mother (Stewart Adam McKensy), who’s seen it all, been it all, and somehow knits together a wayward group of orphans and runaways. Corey Payette’s musical blends drag spectacle, Indigenous storytelling, and soaring emotion in a film that celebrates chosen family and the liberating magic of performance.
