WHY YOUR DONATION IS PRICELESS
If you can see it, you can be it
Worlds shaped by film provide a gateway to discover and love your unique self. IXY is born from the need for a colourful representation of different shades of love, gender & sexuality in everyday reality. As sometimes, you need to see who you can be in order to be who you are.
Together we can be the change we see
In order to realise IXY’s vision and make the broad spectrum of life-changing LGBTQIA+ films accessible worldwide, money is needed. To achieve this, IXY believes in the power of the crowd. This way, we are free to make decisions with the greatest positive impact and social value for humanity.
Why the money is needed and how it's spent
In June 2022 we realised the launch of IXY. What a milestone! Now we have arrived at the point that, to be able to make the envisioned impact, money is needed. Why does IXY need money?
To be able to expand our film selection ​
-
more diverse films with underrepresented stories & characters
-
more films on the intersection of gender, sexuality and race, reflecting the racial diversity of the world.
-
more films with wide-ranging international content, to tell stories from all corners of the world
-
to team up with independent and starting film-makers
-
a smart tv and mobile app, to make the stories on IXY easily accessible
To be able to expand internationally
-
Currently, IXY is available in the Benelux and this is great. However, next to this IXY should be available in many more countries, especially where being your colourful self is hardly possible because it’s forbidden or criminalised. Our mission is to go global!
