VIDEO: Queer Film Festival previews

I Want Your Love, United in Anger and Leave It on the Floor

With Vancouver’s 24th annual Queer Film Festival ready to run Aug 16 to 26, Xtra presents a collection of video previews and interviews with some of the films’ directors and actors.

Filmmaker Elle Flanders interviews Jim Hubbard, the director of United in Anger: A History of ACT UP.

Matt Thomas interviews some of the cast and creative forces behind the drag ball drama Leave It on the Floor.

And Travis Mathews, the director of I Want Your Love, is interviewed by Peter Knegt, who also has a bit part in this steamy portrayal of San Francisco 20-somethings.

On occasion, the number of editors and other staff who contribute to a story gets a little unwieldy to give a byline to everyone. That’s when we use “Xtra Staff” in place of the usual contributor info. If you would like more information on who contributed to a particular story, please contact us here.
