The Pinco Triangle

The Pinco Triangle is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Patrick Crowe and Tristan R. Whiston and released in 1999. A profile of LGBT life in Sudbury, Ontario, the film mixes interviews with past and present LGBT residents of the city with vignettes depicting aspects of the directors' own childhoods in the city, acted by a cast including Michael "Bitch Diva" Fitzgerald and Lorraine Segato. The film takes its name from blending the pink triangle, a common LGBT symbol, with the INCO Triangle, the former employee magazine of INCO's mining operations in Sudbury.

Distribution
The film premiered at BFI Flare in 1999. It also screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival and the Victoria Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Short Documentary. The film received an anniversary screening at Sudbury's Queer North Film Festival in 2018, its first time ever screened in the city. ==Critical response==
Critical response
The film has faced some criticism for its failure to expand on the stories of "Mother Brown" and "Popeye", two pioneers of Sudbury's gay community who had been mentioned in I Know a Place, a contemporaneous documentary film about gay history in Sault Ste. Marie. ==References==
