The films at the festival cover a broad range of issues
that include the needs of LGBT youth, raising children, transgender
issues, relationships with family members, the history of entertainment
in LGBT culture, and the history of LGBT activism and institution-building
in the United States.
The festival is an example of alternative education
at its best. The filmmakers are at the cutting edge of their craft
and the issues they raise push the envelope of mainstream culture.
These
films embody the hope that the more people understand the issues
of the LGBT community, the more comfortable we all can be in this
shared world.
