Opening Weekend - What a success!





WoW! From the very first shot of Breakfast with Scot to the last cocktail being poured at town - Opening Night was amazing.



Every year, it seems that the festival gets bigger and better - and this year's was the best yet!


Just a quick rundown - Thursday was Opening Night, Friday was crazy with our Boystown party and the appearance of the devilish Matt Riddlehoover, star of our late night flick Watch Out.

Saturday kicked off our women's weekend with Steam (Kate Siegel pictured above) and our party at Jackie's! The next day was even more crazy - nearly 400 women made their way to Alero for our fabulous Women Filmmakers Brunch.

Saturday was also one of the most compelling days of the festival - SMYAL led a panel discussion on anti-gay violence after the screening of Dreams Deferred: The Sakie Gunn Story.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Queers Rock Party sponsored by The New Gay. It's after our Pansy Division screening.
And tonight, we have more films - the indie hit Half-Life, the stellar U People, and Fabulosity (a great selection of men's shorts).

Stay tuned for more films this week!
