LGBT Film Festival in February 2007

We are going to hold an LGBT Film Festival during February 2007 at the Hull Screen. I am not sure how many films we will be able to show yet - but at this stage what we need are lots of suggestions for really good films with a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender theme.

I have been searching through Amazon and checking out the reviews - but of course all the films on Amazon are easily available on DVD - so may not attract a good audience. I know the trans films quite well and some of them have never been released in Hull and it's possible that many people have never heard of them. However I really don't know the Gay and Lesbian films very well

What we need right now is suggestions for films you think people would like to watch - films that challenge and address issues that often are not hendled by mainstream media. I have for example found some interesting films from India, New Zealand, Turkey, Canada, etc that have never been released on DVD - I have found films with a horror/thriller theme that are also LGBT in content.

If you have seen a film that you think would we should consider - if you have heard about a film you would like to see - click on comments below and tell us about them

Just to stimupate you thinking here are some of the films we are considering - you may like to tell us whichof these you would like to see.
