The Endometriosis Film Festival: An Immersive Showcase of Personal Stories
Saturday, October 10, 2026 2:00 pm PST
Join us at The Endometriosis Film Festival on October 10, 2026 at 2:00 pm PST. This innovative one-day event is dedicated to showcasing the deeply personal and often untold stories surrounding endometriosis. Featuring a curated selection of over thirty intimate short films, each offering a unique window into the lived experiences of people with endometriosis, accompanied by discussion, breaks and refreshments.
Providing an immersive and evocative experience for all, The Endometriosis Film Festival is designed to be more than a conventional film festival. Utilizing UBC Robson Square’s modern and welcoming space, the short films, organized by theme, will be shown in four rooms and the main theatre. In addition, a dynamic hybrid format tailored to engage and foster meaningful community connections will also be available. Both the multi-space and hybrid setups enable you to journey through the diverse spectrum of emotional and physical realities associated with endometriosis.
These short films have been created by people with endometriosis, ensuring authenticity, raw emotion, and a powerful sense of community and shared understanding. While we deeply value every contribution, we are unable to showcase all participant stories at this time.
