Vancouver Queer Film Fest wrap-up

It is always a bitter-sweet day after the closing gala of the Vancouver International Queer Film Festival each year.

Here's our highlights, by the numbers:

# of Feature Films: 10
# of Shorts: 31
# of Nights Where We Didn't See Any Films: 1
# of Parties Attended: 0 (who had time?)
# of New Friends Made in Festival Line-ups: 18
# of Individual Tweets during the Festival: Way too many to count!

And our highlights, by the films:

Film we would most likely watch again: Children of God
Film we would like to see burned: The Butch Factor
Film that made me think the most: The Butch Factor
Film that brought tears to my eyes: All of the anti-homophobia PSAs
Feature film that made me laugh the most: Violet Tendencies
Shorts that made me laugh the most: Super Queer & Lesbian National Parks
Shorts that made me avert my eyes the most: Horsey & Butch Tits

Each year we vow we will pace ourselves, see fewer films, maybe even get to a party or two. Each year we fail but it is the most fun I have at failing every year!

The Vancouver Queer Film Festival might be the second largest film festival in Vancouver but it is, without a doubt, the BEST film festival in Vancouver!

To all all the staff and the volunteers that make the Vancouver Queer Film Festival possible each year, THANK YOU!
