VLAFF 2019: Queer Pix with Maria Cecilia Saba and Kathleen Mullen

VIFF 2019 - What to watch?

Another year of VIFF is upon us and, instead of waiting until the festival is over to talk about what we missed, this year we wanted to start things off with a shortlist of films that have been grabbing people’s attention. Today’s host, Michael Stringer, goes over six films ranging from absurd comedy to blood soaked horror. We hope you enjoy the episode and the festival!
