New Documentary Shines Light On Canada’s Queer Nightlife History

Venus Envy, which premiered this week at Montreal’s Image+Nation festival, tells the story of a queer multimedia art collective, House of Venus, that made its mark on music and art across the country.

Venus Envy puts the spotlight on queer collective House of Venus, trailblazers in Canadian nightlife who built scenes for outsiders across the country.

Directed by Michael Venus, founder of the House of Venus — also known as his alter ego, Venus Girl Cotton — the documentary (available to watch here) tells the story of how the collective grew from a few friends in Windsor to a major force in Canadian nightlife and media during the late 90s and early 2000s, encompassing fashion shows, album releases and the collective’s own sketch comedy show.
