Queer Film Fest opening-gala performance vids

The Vancouver Queer Film Festival premiere was last night, and the season was kicked off with a showing of Romeos, followed by the opening gala at Fortune Sound Club. There was a great turnout, and it’s always nice to see Hedy Fry lending her support to the gay community.

Check out the performance videos shot by Bob Onoshi, of Jovainka, and Tranapus Rex (who always blows the glitter bomb in my brain). There are movies playing as a part of the festival every day until the 26th. For a full schedule, click here.
