2015's Korea Queer Film Festival Opening Film: Do I Sound Gay?

Korea's Queer Film Festival starts this Thursday, June 18th, and runs until Sunday. With a range of international queer films and Korean short queer collections and a nice collection of gay, lesbian, and transgender films, it should be a nice weekend activity.


The English website is a bit ... lacking, but has all the information you need to determine when and where you'll be going. I'll also be posting specifics about the films on this blog to prep you for each day. 


For now, I'll just post info on the opening film, a documentary titled Do I Sound Gay. From their website:

Is there such a thing as a "gay voice"? Why do some people "sound gay" but not others? Why are gay voices a mainstay of pop culture—but also a trigger for anti-gay harassment? The feature documentary Do I Sound Gay? explores these questions and more and includes revealing interviews with Margaret Cho, Tim Gunn, Don Lemon, Dan Savage, David Sedaris and George Takei.

Do I Sound Gay? will start at 8 pm on Thursday and will be accompanied by an opening ceremony. Check out the trailer below:


Tickets can be purchased at Lotte Cinema, or at the door (but they may be going quickly, so I recommend reserving). All screenings will be at the Lotte Cinema near Sinsa station. See the map below!
