Second EditionThe second edition of the Puerto Rico Queer Filmfest was held at the Metro Cinema in San Juan from November 11 through 17, 2010. Throughout a week over thirty titles were premiered on the big screen here in the Island.
Special Activities
Last year's programming featured two very special short film programs: one with International titles and one by Puerto Rican filmmakers. Furthermore, on November 22-23, the Festival traveled to the city of Mayagüez, where we screened the film which won the Audience Award Undertow, as well as as selection of shorts. Both screenings were followed by well-attended panel discussions.
Guest FilmmakersWe were honored to host two renowned directors. Peruvian fimmaker Javier Fuentes-León presented this edition's Audience Award winner Undertow; and Spain's Sigfrid Monleón-Pradas presented his highly acclaimed The Consul of Sodom. Both filmmakers were part of Q & A sessions with an enthusiastic audience.
