(Winter Kept Us Warm: David Secter, Can. 1965, 81 mins, English)

Winter Kept Us Warm explores a romance between two young men at the University of Toronto in the early 1960s, when being gay was still a crime in Canada. The film achieved international success when first released but has largely disappeared form the contemporary queer film canon. Chris Dupuis examines the film’s creation, disappearance, and what this story reveals about queer history more broadly.
