Queer Women of Color Film Festival opens at YBCA in San Francisco
At a new venue at the YBCA - Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the 8th Queer Women of Color Film Festival (QWOCMAP) kicked off June 8 with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended byState Senator Mark Leno and from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, David Chiu. The festival founders, Madeleine Kim and T. Kebo Drew were presented with honors for the festival by the two politicians. Also present during the opening was San Francisco Supervisor Scott Weiner.
In what they hope to be the new headquarters for the festival at a $13,000 rental fee, Kim and Drew are proven facilitators of an event that has grown and continues to attract hundreds of patrons. For opening night, the Novellus Theater of the YBCA, a nonprofit multidisciplinary arts organization near Moscone Center, was full to capacity. Ever vigilant for special needs, the first two rows were designated for scent free patrons with allergies. The special feature of the event is a no entrance fee, and complimentary appetizers.
