The 2009 QWOCFF
continues it's tradition of selecting a critical festival focus
by examining queer women of color and immigration to bridge our
"Multiple Borders." The Festival Focus includes a
"Multiple Borders" Featured Screening and Community
Convening with a Panel Discussion and Films. These events will
bring together immigrant, people of color and lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) organizations that will
work to reframe contentious national debates.
The Queer Women of
Color Film Festival (QWOCFF) stands on the leading edge of
social change by featuring films by queer women of color from
around the world. Decisively different from traditional film
festivals, it consistently attracts large, diverse and
enthusiastic audiences through a combination of innovative arts
participation with public dialogue and civic engagement.
It promotes
cross-cultural interactions and establishes dynamic
relationships between artists, activists and audiences. The 5th
annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival unleashes the true
power of film to create change and authentically reflect the
lives of queer women of color and their multiple
communities.
The festival opens on
June 12 with a screen of Multiple Borders followed by a
reception at Brava Theater, 2789 24th Street at York, San
Francisco, and will continue on till the 14th. All screenings
are free.
