What if sacred spaces were built to truly include everyone?

SANCTUARY follows an architect’s visionary project that becomes a refuge for LGBTQIA+ individuals turned away by faith systems. Alongside this inspiring journey, religious scholars and leaders share how they’re transforming institutions to embrace the marginalized and redefine what it truly means to belong.

Join us for this FREE screening and a post-film Q&A with co-directors Autumn McAlpin & Vienna Boyes and “Sanctuary” architect Doug Staker, moderated by the Utah Q***r Film Festival team.
