| Side by Side International Film Festival |
Oct 2 - Oct 5, 2008 |
St. Petersburg, Russia |
Film |
If Side by Side actually happens, it will be Russia's first ever LGBT film festival. Since it was announced in January, there have been many demands for the event to be cancelled (like Moscow's attempts at a pride parade), but so far the city of St. Petersburg has said that it will neither support nor ban the film festival, but that it will let it happen. Gay rights activists have had a terrible time in Russia in recent years, facing constant attacks, both physically and verbally, so kudos on them for trying to make this festival a reality.
