BETWEEN THE SHADES
Event Information
Description
Between the Shades seeks to put faces to the letters that make up LGBTQ+ and how those letters have evolved. The film examines the immense power of labels and the transcendence of love.
We invited fifty people, each with a connection to the LGBTQ+ community to began a conversation by sharing their stories for this film that Premiered at The Soho Film Festival and became an audience favorite and finalist for best documentary.
Between the Shades features many voices, among them: Beth Malone (of Broadway’s Fun Home), actress Kathy Najimy and Democratic National Treasurer Andrew Tobias. No film can ever capture the immense diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, but it didn’t stop us from trying. At the end of the day, everyone just wants to be loved. Directed by Jill Salvino, 82 Minutes, 2017, USA, Documentary, English.

Film as an international language allows qFLIX USA to foster, support, and give access to independent filmmakers and to encourage and nurture younger ones in the art of filmmaking. Queer film inspires the imagination and encourages the journey of discovery and acceptance by both the ever-growing region’s LGBTQ+ and the mainstream communities.
