Seminar: Does Sexuality Play a Role?
The seminar will focus on gays and lesbians in front of and behind the camera in the film and television industry in the United Kingdom and the Nordic Countries. It seeks to address enthusiastic filmgoers and professionals in the film industry who are open to and curious about gay perspectives in film and television production.
The Oslo Gay and Lesbian Film Festival invites the public to enter an environment in which we ask questions and attempt to create a greater awareness regarding sexuality and its role and expression both in front of and behind the camera. Our guest of honour is British actor Sir Ian McKellen.
The guest list has not been finalized as this programme is being printed. Several guests will appear during the seminar.
Seminar attendance is free of charge, but
registration is binding. Contact jorn@oglff.org
