John Greyson, director, writer, producer, activist (born 13 March 1960 in Nelson, BC). John Greyson is a prolific award-winning film- and video-maker who has achieved international recognition on the queer cinema and film festival circuits. His audacious films and videos experiment with form and genre, engage with explicitly gay subject matter, and provoke conversations about queer issues. Also a committed activist, Greyson received international attention in 2013 when he was detained without charge in Egypt for fifty days before being released. He is perhaps best known for the films Zero Patience (1993) and Lilies (1996), which won four Genie Awards, including Best Motion Picture.
