June
25, 26, 27 2010 Pride In The Arts International GLBT Film Festival, Warm Reception,
Close Outcome! The three day event culminated Sunday evening with strong
voter appreciation and activity. The community of Roanoke warmly embraced
this new event to the local GLBT Community with steady attendance,
positive feedback, and many welcoming sentiments to festival organizer Len
Rogers of StoneWall Society. Shadowbox, the venue was a great fit for the
Festival. Jason and his staff were more then professional and made all
feel welcome. The Festival Favorites were announced at the closing
screening on Sunday night. Favorites were determined solely by attendee
vote. Each festival attendee was provided with a ballot for that
particular screening. Each ballot had to be validated with the attendee
ticket number to be counted. It was encouraging to see how serious the
festival goers were about completing and turning in their ballots. A true
testament to the films included and the serious view these festival
attendees had of their part in the festival. The final votes determined in some relatively close counts that Festival
Favorites are; Festival Favorite Short Film is “Reunion” by Dennis Hensley Festival Favorite Music Video is “Living Out Proud” by SUGARBEACH of
Canada Festival Favorite Feature Film is “Woman In A Man’s Suit” by
Anthony Greene about Georgie Jessup. Congratulations to the festival favorites! As well
congratulations and thanks to all who submitted and attended the festival.
Response to the festival was so overwhelming positive that is has already
been decided this will be an annual event. In depth coverage with
photographs will be available at For information or interviews on the festival please contact Len Rogers of StoneWall Society at len@stonewallsociety.com.
