HEATSEEKER delves into the online world of Grindr and other gay dating apps. Following a trail of users as we see clips and vignettes of their escapades in the search for the love of their life - or for the night at least. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but all the time honest, HEATSEEKER shows what is truly lurking behind those little profile squares we see on the apps.
 
This event is sponsored by Health Initiative for Men (HIM), a BC nonprofit strengthening the health and wellbeing of self-identified GBQ men and gender-diverse people through sex-positive sexual, mental, physical, and social health services, from HIV/STI testing to counselling, peer support, and community programs.
