How have popular cable shows and
commercial film hits like Brokeback Mountain influenced the future
of gay and lesbian filmmaking? What kinds of films are necessary in terms of
education and awareness? Can films motivate social change? What voices and depictions
have yet to be seen?
These questions and many others will be addressed tonight by Casque d’Or Films
president Veronique Courtois; 101 Must See Movies for Gay Men author/critic
Alonso Duralde; Small Town Gay Bar director Malcolm
Ingram; Tall Tail director Mark McCormick; Almost Myself director
Tom Murray; and Creative Loafing film critic Lance Goldenberg. The
filmmaker panel discussion, “What is the Future of Queer Cinema?†is presented
by the Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Fest, and is free and open to
the public.
5:30 p.m. Mon., Oct. 9, Tampa Theatre, 711 N. Frankling St., downtown Tampa.
