Lonely Planet review for San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival
What would the world's pinkest city be without the world's most outrageous gay film festival? GLBT-themed cinema is showcased at this extravaganza, with two weeks of intensive scheduling - 250 to 300 films in total - that reveal the best (and occasionally worst) of queer filmmaking. Videos, documentaries, sexy shorts, lesbian processing, and full-on features are present.
Past audiences have been the first to see movies by John Waters and Gus Van Sant, and crossover programs like the British 'Queer as Folk' TV series. A word to the wise: if you can afford a festival pass, get one. Pass holders can show up at the last minute and avoid the ubiquitous lines.
