The Queer East Film Festival, that takes place from October to January in the United Kingdom, has opened its first edition with a screening of the Taiwanese critically acclaimed film: “Blue Gate Crossing”. Icing on the cake, it has been shown in 35 mm. It is first worth noticing that the festival has to face difficult and uncommon circumstances – considering the current Covid crisis – but still managed to deliver a very enjoyable experience. The cultural sector is badly hit and the consequences for festivals are, among others, less potential audience attending, no special guests presence for the Q&a (which is also one of the usual incentives for cinéphiles to attend festivals). However, the Queer East Film Festival managed to overcome that last part with an extended filmed-intro with Chih-Yen Yee. If it’s not quite the same experience, it was close enough and the best we could hope for in these difficult times.
