It’s Festival Time Again!

It’s June, which means it’s time for two of the bestest film festivals out there, the 20th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival the weekend of June 14 to 16, and the 48th annual Frameline Festival from June 19 to 29.

QWOCFF has all of its screenings at the Presidio Theatre in the Presidio National Park at 99 Moraga Avenue— NOT the same as the Presidio Theatre on Chestnut Street. All films are open captioned and offer audio descriptions, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. There will be an online encore streaming; dates to be announced. The online screenings are not geo-blocked, and should be accessible worldwide.

Frameline is a bit different this year from previous years, because the Castro Theatre is closed for a complete overhaul. Venues this year are the Roxie, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Herbst Theatre, the Vogue Theatre, and the New Parkway Theatre in Oakland. There are also one-off screenings at The Stud and at KQED. The streaming portion of the festival runs from June 24 to 30. All of the online viewings are geo-blocked to the United States, and several are geo-blocked to California only; unfortunately, many of the films will not be available for screening.

I look forward to seeing you in the theatre, and writing up my reactions to as many films as I can manage.
