It was a real hodge-podge of movies this weekend, but all were enjoyable for entirely different reasons.

Frameline 47 – Film Festival
The 47th annual Frameline Film Festival was back this year during the midst of pride month, because that only makes sense for a queer-centered film festival. As with most of these film festivals that I’m attending virtually, the selection isn’t quite as robust as attending in person, but there were still some gems to be found.

She’s got two good movies out this weekend, people! Go watch Emily the Criminal and Spin Me Round, or any other indie film she’s done for that matter! You can thank me later.

While the Sundance Film Festival rides out until the 30th of this month, I have reached the end of my viewing road last night. That’s right, there were even more movies shoved into this past week!

In the midst of one film festival, I have managed to stumble across another virtual film festival! Well, similar to Tribeca, this queer film fest is also doing a hybrid of in person and at home screenings, which works out just fine for me! While I only picked out a handful of films from this event, they were ones that were on my radar from other foreign screenings earlier this year. I’m so glad I got the chance to participate!

As the world slowly starts to open back up, that means far away film festivals will once again become inaccessible to me unless I’m willing to travel and drop a lot of cash. Which, I’m not saying it’ll never happy, but for now I’m still glad to be offered a chance to partake in these awesome festivals from the comfort of my own home! Case in point: the Tribeca Film Festival! This is the first United States film festival that is taking place in person since the pandemic started, but they are still offering at home viewings of almost everything (except for No Sudden Move which I’m upset about). This festival takes place over the course of two weeks, so I’m splitting up my haul between the two, so here’s the first batch!

The film festival magic continues, but this time with an entirely new one! Similar excellent options, although sadly some were relegated strictly to drive-in theaters. Obviously, since I do not live there I cannot attend. Sad. No worry though, because I did get to catch a film I’d had my eye one since the start of the year!

Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me! Usually attended by locals or strictly critics, this change of events has given me an unseen advantage. I, just a lowly film fan, gets to watch potential Oscars films ahead of the masses!
