P.S. I'm pretty sure they don't mean "at this very second."

I did write the organizers to ask them for verification of the claim, but, unfortunately, I haven't received a response back. I do plan on asking about this yearly claim to an organizer when I attend the event next weekend.
However, after an EXTENSIVE online search (and I do admit the fallibilities of Google), I did not find ONE solely LESBIAN film festival. There were LGBTQ (or some variation of) and Queer and even ones identified as Women's film festivals; however, this is the only one I can find that is solely identified as a LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in North America.
Dapper, what were the names of the SOLELY lesbian film festivals you attended? Maybe that will help. As you know, LGBT or QUEER or Women's film festivals will not be allowed as contradicting the London's festival's claim. It must be designated as a soley LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in order for your opposition to their claim to be warranted.
P.S. Tickets are still on sale!

Not Canadian but my curiosity was piqued so I hunted, too. I found no other strictly lesbian-identified film festivals besides the one you listed Soon.
If you found an additional one, you were a better investigator than I!
There are tons of film festivals but they are all-inclusive: LGBTQ.
