See Outfest’s Director Talk About The Impact Of LGBT Film

Outfest, LA’s LGBT film festival, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most important in the world, opened its 30th event last night with a screening of the documentary Vito and an honour for John Waters.

The Advocate has posted a new interview with Outfest’s Executive director, Kirsten Schaffer, who talks about the importance of LGBT movies and festivals, which is particularly relevant at a time when some are wondering whether gay themes have become mainstream enough that we no longer need such events. It’s well worth a watch, so can look above to see Schaffer’s take on things.
