Cinema Q: A Festival Of Queer Cinema comes to Denver May 28-31 as an official kick-off to PrideFest.
Of the festival, Denver Film Society Executive Director Bo Smith says, "A festival of this sort is a cultural celebration that enables people of Denver to see films that look at issues especially pertinent to the trans, bi, lesbian and gay communities of our area."
In 2006 the Denver Film Society at the Starz FilmCenter launched Cinema Q as a monthly program aimed to fill the void of quality GLBT cinema in Denver.
"The films showcased will represent a wide swath of the cultures that permeate every color of the GLBT rainbow and will be a mixture of American and foreign titles," said DFS Programming Manager Keith Garcia.
The festival will screen a total of 11 films over four days including: THE AMAZING TRUTH ABOUT QUEEN RAQUELA, Director Olaf de Fleur Johannesson (Iceland/Philippines), BI THE WAY, Directors Brittany Blockman, & Josephine Decker (USA), TEN MORE GOOD YEARS, Director Michale Jacoby (USA), CHICA BUSCA CHICA, Director Sonia Sebastian (Spain), EQUALITY U, Director Dave O'Brian (USA), SOUNDLESS WIND CHIME, Director Wing Kit Hung (Hong Kong), DRIFTING FLOWERS, Director Zero Chou (Taiwan), CHEF'S SPECIAL, Director Nacho G. Velilla (Spain), IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, Director Pilar Prassas (USA), MY SISTER, MY BRIDE, Director Bonnie Burt (USA).
