한국영화도 상영된다고 해서 시간표를 찾아 봤는데

글쎄, 상영작이 쌍화점 이라고 해서 좌절 중...

20년 동안 한국을 포함한 아시아 영화는 몇 편이나 상영했을까.

한국 독립영화를 이런 영화제에서도 보고 싶은데 과연 상영한 적이 있을까

궁금한 것도 있고 보고 싶은 영화도 있어서 가볼 참이다.

*상영하는 한국영화, 하나 더 찾았다. 

'소년, 소년을 만나다'(2008, 김조광수)

*또 하나 더...

'목욕'(2007, 이미랑)

Celebrating 20 years of challenging attitudes and changing lives.

Inside Out is a not-for-profit registered charity that exists to challenge attitudes and change lives through the promotion, production and exhibition of film and video made by and about lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people of all ages, races and abilities. 

 

Toronto LGBT Film and Video Festival

In 1991, Inside Out celebrated its first film and video festival with a small community of people who yearned to see film and video created by and about lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people. Currently the largest event of its kind in Canada, the Festival entertains film buffs of all stripes. Taking place over 11 days, the Festival draws crowds of 35,000 to screenings, artist talks, panel discussions, installations and parties that highlight more than 250 films and videos from Canada and around the world.

 

Queer Youth Digital Video Project

In 1998, with the support of Charles Street Video, Inside Out initiated the Project to provide opportunities for youth to learn video production in a supportive atmosphere. Queer youth under the age of 25 are mentored through storyboarding and shooting, to post-production and editing. The works are screened at the Festival and many go on to play at festivals around the globe. Each year, the videos are compiled on DVD and distributed free to schools and community organizations. To date, more than 77 queer youth have created work through the Project.

For 2010, in celebration of the Festival's 20th Anniversary, Inside Out has created a special edition of the QYDVP, entitled the Legacy Video Project, turning the Project into a multi-generational video program consisting of four young artists and three adults over the age of 55.
