Join us for our afternoon panel discussion exploring queer filmmaking and its history with those who make it and program it. Moderated by David Pendleton, formerly of the UCLA Film and Television Archives and current Programmer at the Harvard Film Archive, the panel will bring together filmmakers Faith Trimel, director of Family, Jesse Rosen, director of Art of Being Straight, and Jeannie Simms, director of Readymaids along with Boston LGBT Film Festival founder George Mansour to discuss what it means to be making queer films today and how both the processes and industry have changed over the years. As the Boston LGBT Film Festival reaches its twenty-fifth year we look back and examine how queer films, their distribution and even their subject matter have shifted. Queer media is present in our culture in a manner never before experienced, what does this mean for us as makers and consumers? Please join us for a look back and a look forward. .
