12- day Gay and Lesbian Film Festival presents over 100 films and special appearances from filmmakers and actors.

-Thursday, July 11, 2013 – Monday, July 22, 2013- Philadelphia, PA - June 12, 2013 –
The 19th annual QFest hits Philadelphia with a lineup that promises to make the summer a bit steamier! Running July 11 through July 22,
2013, the East Coast’s largest LGBT film festival will play host to over 100 films, filmmakers from across the globe, and a jam-packed schedule of events.

With 108 films that include 46 feature films, 23 documentaries, and 39 shorts films, as well as 3 World Premieres, 4 East Coast Premieres and over 50 Philadelphia Premieres, QFest is showcasing the absolute best in LGBT cinema. As has become tradition for the festival, QFest will be also offering up films that touch on several hot button topics facing the LGBT community, immigration, sexual identity, addiction, and
marriage equality.

“While not prone to hyperbole, I have to say that this year’s selection is the best in many years,” says Ray Murray, Artistic Director for QFest. “Not only are there entertaining comedies and dramas from Philadelphia to around the world, there are amazing documentaries that examine queer politics and heart rendering family stories.
We open with a pop high school coming out comedy and end with a stylish noir murder/mystery. And in between there are talking bears, murderous gay boys, slinky vampires, drug addiction, sex addiction, a politician who sees the light and a gay rugby player who becomes a national hero.”

Opening Night kicks off July 11th at 7:15pm in Ritz East 1 with a screening of G.B.F.
This light-hearted comedy involves the hottest new accessory trend among high school girls: a gay best friend. Directed by Darren Stein, the film features an all-star cast including Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne and Rebecca Gayheart.  Actors Paul Iacono, Xosha Roquemore, Taylor Frey will be in attendance.

What’s an Opening Night without a party? Festival attendees are invited to head over to Lit Ultra Bar, 460 N. 2nd Street, from 9:30pm- 2:00am, for the official “Prom Night Gone Wild”

Opening Night party, presented by TD Bank, tlagay.com, Lit Ultra Bar, Tavern on Camac, U Bar, and Underground Arts. Dance the night away with performances by Brittany Lynn and the Drag Mafia, along with hot bodied dancers dressed in their finest prom night attire. The night will end like any traditional prom would: with the crowning of the fiercest Prom Queen and her G.B.F.!

QFest closes this year’s  festival on Sunday, July 21st with a screening of Hot Guys with Guns in Ritz East 1 at 7:15pm. The film, directed by Doug Spearman, is a thrilling murder mystery about a young man willing to go to great lengths to become an actor on his favorite TV show. Spearman will be in town with the film.

As another year of amazing LGBT cinema comes to an end, festival goers are encouraged to attend the official Hot Guys with Guns Closing Night Party at Philly’s most talked about new venue, Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St, from 9:30pm- 2:00am. Presented by TD Bank, tlagay.com, Lit Ultra Bar, Tavern on Camac, U Bar, and Underground Arts, and hosted by Brittany Lynn and the Drag Mafia, the Closing Night Party will feature live music from the Philadelphia Freedom Band ensemble and local celebrity performances. Spearman and his Hot Guys with Guns posse will help bring the festival to a close in a blaze of glory!

The Tavern Group, owners/operators of Tavern on Camac, U Bar, Upstairs Inn, terra restaurant, is the first-ever Gayborhood business to become a presenting sponsor of QFest. Philanthropists, business and life partners Stephen Carlino and Dennis Fee have supported the festival in the past but have increased their support this year at a crucial time when funding for arts and culture in general have been dramatically decreased. What’s more, QFest is excited to have TD Bank on board as a returning sponsor.

“TD Bank is extremely proud and excited to sponsor QFest 2013. This event is a wonderful example of the investment in the LGBT community through film by depicting positive images and building LGBTA awareness in a fun and meaningful way,” said Robert Pompey, Head of Commercial Management Administration at TD Bank and Co-Chair of the bank’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Allies subcommittee.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Oscar-winning actor/director/filmmaker, conservationist, Robert Redford, lent his megawatt star power and film festival acumen to the socially and environmentally conscious Albuquerque Film & Media Experience this past week.

AFME’s weeklong itinerary showcased independent local and international movies, student-created digital media, art exhibits, film events as well as a series of “Intimate Conversations” with socially conscious and relevant actors, directors and producers at local venues.

Native American actor, Wes Studi (Dances with Wolves, Last of the

Mohicans, Geronimo) was interviewed in the backroom of O’Niell’s Irish pub by Breaking Bad’s Steven Michael Quezada and had some hard hitting responses to questions about Native Americans in film and the media.

We caught a screening of Affair of the Heart, a surprisingly touching look at the 80’s pop star, Rick Springfield (Jesse’s Girl) and the emotional connection with his devoted fans. Director/producer, Sylvia Caminer, spoke to the audience at the Lobo Theatre, about her choice of subject (her film partner is a die hard Springfield fan) and the effort involved in creating this multi-award winning documentary.

“We wanted this to be an experience for the entire community,” said Lainie Sevante Quirk, co-founder of AFME.  Quirk said she and co-founder, hospitality industry guru, Ivan Wiener (former Executive Producer of the Albuquerque Film Festival) worked on the project for nearly eight months.

Sevante Quirk said the idea stemmed from her travels around the world and seeing how TV and film put Albuquerque on the map. “I would tell people that I met overseas that I was from Albuquerque and they would immediately connect it to ‘Breaking Bad,’ ” she says. “We saw this as a chance to keep Albuquerque in the global spotlight and try to make amazing alliances with other countries.”

Friday nights “An Evening with Robert Redford and Special Guests” was a sold out event (at $100 per person) and featured an informal interview and conversation with Robert Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Art.  The two Bobs have worked together for the past 10 years and their camaraderie and mutual respect forged a very relaxed dialogue. 

The week long festival included industry-focused panel discussions, intimate conversations (guest interviews), after parties, receptions, lounge and happy hour schmoozing and music performances.  

Thomas Dolby (She blinded me with Silence), kicked off the AFME with excerpts from his first film, The Invisible Lighthouse, followed by a live performance at the LOBO Theatre.

German American Artist, Sibylle Szaggars Redford (wife of Robert), gave an art performance “The Way of the Rain,” in collaboration with Icelandic musician David Thor Jonsson, followed by a Pulizer Prize winning essay reading by Mr. Redford.

Its not surprising, following the success of this year’s inaugural event, that Ms. Quirk is already making plans for next year’s film experience, “We want to create a great relationship with various countries,” she says. “Next year, we’re looking to add a lot more international films and programming.”

Raising the curtain at the 34th Durban International Film Festival, which is principally funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, is the challenging and evocative, yet humorous film, Of Good Report, from South African director Jahmil XT Qubeka. In what he describes as “a passionate homage to classic film noir”, Qubeka’s latest offering, which has its world premiere at the festival on July 18, tells the sombre tale of a small-town high-school teacher with a penchant for young girls. The director’s third feature is an hypnotically engaging journey into the soul of a mentally troubled man.

The trouble for Parker Sithole (Mothusi Magano) begins when he accepts an invitation to a drinking session at the local tavern. Here, he meets the undeniably gorgeous Nolitha Ngubane (Petronella Tshuma). Captivated by her beauty, Parker experiences an ecstasy he’s never known before and truly feels like a man reborn. From this mutual attraction, an illicit affair ensues. However, there ’s just one problem: the beautiful Nolitha is one of Parker’s pupils and just sixteen years old. Parker quickly spirals into a deep obsession that ultimately turns to a tragedy.

Six months later, the sociopathic Parker has moved on from his previous job. Trudging along the barren landscape, he stumbles upon an opportunity for a fresh start. According to a caption on an old strewn newspaper, there is a shortage of teachers in Zimbabwe. A qualified educator like him shouldn't struggle to find a post; after all, he does come ‘of good report’.

In Qubeka’s words, Of Good Report, which is produced by Mike Auret and Luzuko Dilima (Spier Films), “is a serial killer origins story about how a social misfit turns into an inadequate man hell-bent on satisfying his shameful lust. It is Little Red Riding Hood, told from the wolf’s perspective.”

The director of television programmes and documentaries for production houses such as Ochre Media and Urban Brew Studios, Qubeka’s documentary and feature film work has screened at festivals around the world. He has directed Talk to Me, an hour-long HIV/Aids documentary special with Sesame Street New York, which won the Peabody Award for best Actuality Programming. He also produced the low budget feature film uMalusi, which was released by Ster Kinekor in March 2009. His second feature, A Small Town Called Descent enjoyed its world premiere at the 31st Durban International Film Festival, and won the Founders' Award for Narrative Feature at the Pan African Film Festival.201

Says Peter Machen, newly appointed manager of the Durban International Film Festival: “We are extremely happy to be opening DIFF 2013 with Jahmil's brave and remarkable film. Of Good Report does so much more than simply telling a South African story – the film redefines the local filmmaking landscape and extends the language of African filmmaking while acknowledging the rich history of global cinema”.

The Durban International Film Festival takes place from July 18 – 28, 2013. The Festival includes 170 theatrical screenings, a full seminar/workshop programme as well as the Wavescape Film Festival and industry initiatives: the 6th Talent Campus Durban (in cooperation with the Berlin Talent Campus) and the 4th Durban FilmMart (the co-production market in partnership with the Durban Film Office), with the Wild Talk Africa Festival taking place in the city from July 23 to 26. For more information go to www.durbanfilmfestival.co.za

The 34th Durban International Film Festival is organised by the Centre for Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu-Natal) with support by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (principal funder), National Film and Video Foundation, KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development and Tourism, City of Durban, German Embassy, Goethe Institut, Industrial Development Corporation, KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts and Culture, and a range of other valued partners.

Make no mistake, DO NOT MISS this inaugural event.

The day began with masterclass ‘Words in Motion’ with Robert Alderingk Thijm, followed by ‘In Conversations With’ with veteran actress Maria Conchita Alonso and masterclass ‘The Hollywood Indie’ with Hollywood bigwig producer Randall Emmett (Empire State, 2013). Randall spoke on panel with Hollywood Reporter's Stephen Galloway. They discussed Randall's journey of film production from his days as a maverick indie film producer to becoming one of Hollywood's most prolific producers (Rambo, 2008; Bad Lieutenant Port of Call, 2009; Broken City, 2013; Empire State, 2013). In his youth, Randall used to go from producing shoestring budget indies and assisting at talent agencies until his final big break. Today, Randall’s producing resume includes over 75 films. When asked by Galloway what his secret to producing was, Emmett replied: “I think you have to be uncomfortable to do your best work. Being uncomfortable forces you to do your best.” When asked what his most inspirational films were growing up, Emmett named Scarface and Raging Bull.

An eclectic list of films screened at night from short films to documentaries and features. Director Cullen Hoback screened his much debated film Terms and Conditions May Apply. Hoback attended a contentious Q & A after the screening, stating this about the response to his film: "We had a strong turnout and an enthusiastic audience. The issues surrounding digital privacy are a global issue, and it was great to see so many people in Aruba concerned and motivated by the film." Hoback is receiving international critical acclaim for his film, being compared to nonconformist documentarian filmmakers Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock.

A double feature of bloody psychological thriller films (Raze and Mine Games) confirmed there was no shortage of the color red on this 4th of July. Raze recently held its world premier at TriBeCa in April. The film was attended by director Josh C. Walls, actress/producer Zoe Bell and actress Tracie Thoms.

Following Raze, the film crew of Mine Games, by director Richard Gray, was attended by emerging stars Briana Evigan (Step Up) and Joseph Cross (Lincoln). Richard Gray said this after screening to an Aruban audience: “What an amazing experience, the locals and filmmakers were all so generous and supportive. To have Briana Evigan and Joe Cross a part of this and seeing Mine Games on the big screen for the first time was a once in a lifetime experience. We love Aruba International Film Festival."

Among the activities a 5-day workshop on animation, documentary and short live action for youth in Kharkiv is planned to be hold. A workshop under the guidance of famous  trainer, an expert in children's television and animation, a member of the CIFEJ Board, director Maikki Kantola (Maija Kirsti Markareetta Kantola) from Finland.

The 13th annual Tchechische Filmwoche– Week of Czech Film, which is organised by the Czech Center in Munich in cooperation with the Czech Film Center, the Finále Plzeň festival and AG Kurzfilm, begins today in Munich, Germany. The screenings, which will continue until 14 July, will introduce the German film public to a selection of recent Czech films that were successful in festivals at home and abroad and were not distributed in Germany. The guests of this year’s film week will be the Czech documentary director David Vondráček and cameraman Jan Kadeřábek.

The presentation will get underway this evening in Munich’s Arena Filmtheater with David Ondříček’s film In the Shadow, which received 9 Czech Lion awards in 2012, starring Ivan Trojan and German actor Sebastian Koch.

Another of the films being shown is director Jan Hřebejk’s Garbage, the City and Death, based on a play by Reiner Werner Fassbinder, which tells the story of Romi, a prostitute played by Gabriela Míčová, who won a Czech Lion award and the Best Actress award at the Czech Film Critic Awards.

The presentation will also screen the winning picture at this year’s Finále Plzeň festival, Flower Buds by Zdeněk Jiráský, the controversial My Dog Killer by director Mira Fornay and the directorial debut of Richard Řeřicha, Don’t Stop.

Czech documentary filmmaking is represented in the programme by David Vondráček’s film Love in the Grave about two homeless people who found a home in an abandoned graveyard in Prague’s Strašnice district and the documentary Karel Reisz – A Life of Film about a Director of Czech origin who stood at the birth of a movement that inspired the French and the Czech new wave.

The films are supplemented by the so called Fein.KOšt, programme of Czech and German short films selected by the Czech Film Center in cooperation with AG Kurzfilm, a concert by the Brno group Fiordmoss and a film brunch with director David Vondráček.

ORGANISERS:

The Sebastiane Latino Award will applaud a film released in the previous year to best represent sexual and gender diversity

This year’s San Sebastian International Film Festival will include the presentation of the first Sebastiane Latino Award, an award given by the association Gehitu to the Latin American feature film released in the previous year that best represents lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual vindications and values.

This award emerges as a natural spin-off from the Sebastiane Award, a prize granted by Gehitu for 14 years as a recognition to the production that best reflect sexual and gender diversity in the different sections of the San Sebastian Festival. However, the Sebastiane Latino overshoots these borders to applaud the best Latin American film, whether or not it has been screened at the Festival.

The Jury for both awards is made up of members of Gehitu, the Basque Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Bisexual Association, and enjoys close collaboration with the San Sebastian Festival team.

The Sebastiane Latino Award stems from a cultural proximity with Latin America and from the dedication to its cinema by the Zinemaldi, as vouched for by its “Horizontes latinos” and “Films in Progress” sections. Also drawing on this proximity and on the repercussion of an International Festival such as San Sebastian, our aim is to take a hand in ensuring that the values of respect and sexual freedom gain ground against male chauvinism and intolerance in Ibero-America.

The jury will consider productions that support the LGTB community. Although only one of these works will be chosen, the idea is that the selected work will lend support and recognition to all of the people who have made them possible, and that it will help to raise the voice of the ever-increasing number of films in defence of LGTB people.

Another first for the Victoria Film Festival this year is the introduction of a new summer camp. Targeted at youth ages 11-14, Shoot the Write Stuff aims to take camp participants filmmaking skills to the next level with mentoring and feedback from professional filmmakers. Day one, students shoot a short film. Throughout the week, they receive mentoring and feedback on their work from real world professionals to hone their skills. By the end, students will reshoot their work implementing what they’ve learned and screen it to the class and their parents.

“We are thrilled to have local filmmakers come on board and help us with this new initiative,” says MaryAnne Dieno Outreach and Development Coordinator for the Victoria Film Festival. “For the full five days, Barbara Hager of Arrow Productions will be facilitating the class with three other mentors assisting the students.”

Hager, an award-winning filmmaker, has amassed a long list of film credits. Among many of her projects, Hager produced, directed and hosted The New Canoe, an Aboriginal arts and culture series which aired on CHUM, CTV's A-Channel and APTN for eight years as well as two seasons of Down2Earth (APTN, NITV), an Aboriginal environmental series that airs on APTN (Canada) and NITV (Australia). The series won the 2011 Environmental Media Award for best green documentary series in Canada. Currently, Hager is developing a one-hour documentary about urban deer titled Jane Doe: The Tale of an Urban Deer, with support from KCTS9 (PBS Seattle).

Along with Hager will be award-winning screenwriter BD Young, CineVic’s own Executive Director and independent filmmaker, Bryan Skinner and local cinematographer Karl Schoepp.

The Festival introduced the camp this summer as a new initiative to keep youth involved and interested in film throughout the year. “The Victoria Film Festival's mandate has always included education and by launching our first Summer Camp we will directly support youth in using the tools to create and understand the medium,” says Kathy Kay, Victoria Film Festival Director. To further support this mandate, Arrow Productions and the Victoria Film Festival will also be awarding a scholarship to a First Nations youth to participate in the week long camp.

Shoot the Write Stuff will be held at the St. Michael’s University Senior Campus (Richmond Street). The camp runs July 29th to August 2nd from 9:00am to 4:00pm and participants are asked to bring a lunch. The camp is open to ages 11-14 and no previous film experience is required. Cost is $225 per student. Please call 250-389-0444 for more information, or visit www.victoriafilmfestival.com to register online. Space is limited.
