MQFF eXtra 2019

Arts, TV & Film

This week on Out Takes, we celebrated MQFF eXtra, which kicked off at Cinema Nova in October. The inaugural MQFF eXtra showcased a spate of new queer films, including festival darlings like PAIN AND GLORY and PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE.

Our guest were Spiro Economopoulos, the Program Director of MQFF eXtra, and Keith Behrman, the director of GIANT LITTLE ONES, which screened at this years Festival.

GIANT LITTLE ONES is a fresh coming of age film that charts the friendship between two popular teen boys, who discover their lives, families, and girlfriends dramatically upended after an unexpected sexual encounter.
