2/1/16 review of UN Association Traveling International Documentary Film Festival


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2016 UN Association Traveling International Documentary Film Festival.

My Twitter thread gives a little background on the film festival, as well as on some of the Denver organizations that helped bring the festival to Denver. The thread gives a review of the documentary Manislam, which showed at the festival, and which was directed by Nefise Ozkal Lorentzen. It gives a review of the short documentary Good Muslim Girls, which was directed by Marilyn Agrelo. And it gives a review of the documentary Driving with Selvi, which was directed by Elisa Paloschi.

Here is the link to the UNAFF 2016 film festival.

The Denver leg of this festival took place at the Denver Film Society's Sie FilmCenter in Denver Colorado.

8/2/15 review of films at Denver's CinemaQ festival

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of films I saw at the 2015 CinemaQ festival at the Denver Film Society.

The CinemaQ festival is a festival of films by and about LGBTQ people and issues. In my Twitter thread I discuss the film Tab Hunter Confidential, a documentary about movie star Tab Hunter; the beautiful film Sangaile, by Alante Kavaite, about a lesbian affair between two young women; an improv show with Denver's Chris Parente and the improv team The Queerbots; the movie Lust in the Dust, starring Divine; and Desert Migration, a documentary/film poem by Daniel Cardone, which is, in my opinion, one of the greatest films of the decade.

Here is the link to the CinemaQ festival at the Denver Film Society.

Here is the trailer for Tab Hunter Confidential.
