“What a perfect way to start the Festival!” was heard repeatedly as the crowd left the Opening Gala screening of The Way He Looks, the feel good, award-winning Brazilian coming-of- age story about two high school boys who become friends and fall in love against all odds.

It certainly didn’t hurt that the star of The Way He Looks, Fabio Audi, attended the Festival through Inside Out’s Artist Bursary Fund, and provided a charming Q&A discussion after the film, adding a fourth dimension to the film—as well as a few hundred new admirers.

The Toronto Festival attracted our largest audiences to date and we are extremely proud of the calibre of our programming and the enhancements offered to create truly unique film-going experiences.

With over 35,000 people attending the 2014 Toronto LGBT Film Festival, the 24th edition of Canada’s preeminent LGBT film festival was filled with 11 days of swooning, suspense, laughing, learning and tears, with such memorable Canadian and International Premieres such as Land of Storms, Love is Strange, Tru Love, The Foxy Merkins, No Easy Walk to Freedom, Kate Bornstein is a Queer & Pleasant Danger, Drunktown’s Finest, 52 Tuesdays, Yves Saint Laurent and so many more.

Thanks to generous donors who supported the Artist Bursary Fund, Inside Out was able to bring more than a dozen additional filmmakers and artists to attend the Festival compared to last year.

Audiences delighted at the Q&A session by Love is Strange director/writer Ira Sachs as he shared intimate stories of working with stars John Lithgow and Alfred Molina. Audiences thoroughly enjoyed the variety show high jinx with the team behind Women’s Gala film Tru Love led by co- directors Kate Johnston and Shauna MacDonald.
