Q! Film Festival - Q! Warning 2008
Duration: 0:45
Trailer of Q! Film Festival 2008 Q! Film Festival was founded in 2002 by some freelance journalists. Taking up films with queer and HIV/AIDS theme, it is the only film festival of its kind in the predominantly Moslem country. The festival's mission is to introduce alternative films apart from the main stream ones in the cinema as well as to raise awareness on queer issues. The significant outcome is that The Human Rights Commission has added the protection towards queer people for the last 2 years. Furthermore, a non-profit organization for advocacy for queer people has been founded last year to accommodate the increasing needs. Over 500 films and the total of 75,000 spectators have attended the festival for the last 5 years. International guests such as filmmakers, distributors, and festival organizers have attended the festival since 2003. Q! Film Festival now is the biggest queer film festival in Asia in terms of number of film screenings and the total number of days. It has been officially acknowledged as a part of Teddy Award Section of Berlin Film Festival called 'Teddy on Tour" program since 2006. more infos on http://www.qfilmfestival.org
