FEATURES!

Gary M. Kramer addresses an overarching question of gay filmmaking and the problem of the niche, using the closing night Qfest film, Flight of the Cardinal, as his launching pad.

Molly Eichel discusses the controversy over Qfest selection, Ticked Off Trannies with Knives. Forget about Blaxploitation. Forget about Sexploitation. At this year's Qfest, it's all about Transploitation.

Peter Burwasser explains how classical music can be marketed with young artists in SuiteSpot
