Q Film Fest A Rousing Success
The 4th Annual Q Film Fest was a total success. It entertained very enthusiastic audiences with engaging question and answer sessions with both filmmakers and stars, and it also offered some fabulous parties. The Art Theater hosted the festival, which was sponsored by The Center, Long Beach. The festival presented a wide mix of feature films, short films and documentaries which focused on issues that impact the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
Held this year the weekend before Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride, the event drew nearly 600 people to The Art Theater.
