nawi and the q-fest

the new york times profiles ezra nawi. i saw citizen nawi, the documentary about mr. nawi, at last year at the philadelphia international gay and lesbian film festival. after reading the profile, i went through my archives hoping to jog my memory about the film by rereading my review. apparently i didn't write one. oh well.

speaking of which, this year's gay and lesbian film festival is coming up fast. they've renamed it the philadelphia Q fest. (the name changes has something to do with the FFS-TLA breakup that i blogged about earlier this year) anyway, the list of features is up. as always, i'm open to suggestions.

i did a quick pass through the list and very little jumped out at me. i'll probably try to see this, though the show time isn't that good for me. i really liked XXY when i saw it two years ago, this is by the same director, so that's a possibility as well. and other then that? um, this sounds like it could be fun. can anyone out there recommend anything else?
