A water main break at a movie theater can wreak havoc on a film festival!
The Eighth Annual QFest St. Louis, presented by Cinema St. Louis, was supposed to start Sunday April 19th at the Tivoli Theatre. But the organizers had to reschedule when the Tivoli had to shut down because of the water disaster. The show will go on, but the schedule has been changed.
The St. Louis-based Lgbtq film festival, QFest will present an eclectic slate of 23 films – 11 features (six narratives and five documentaries) and 12 short subjects. The participating filmmakers represent a wide variety of voices in contemporary queer world cinema.

Man and Boy
The Tribeca Film Festival ended on Sunday after screening a number of gay-themed films (including the documentary Gone, which I liked a lot). Several gay-themed short films were represented as well:
Man and Boy, which won the festival's best narrative short award, was "inspired" by a 2008 incident in the UK in which a man accused of sexually molesting a teenage boy and subsequently fleeing an angry mob, jumped to his death from an apartment building.
In the film, written and directed by David Leon (with co-director Marcus McSweeney), a teenage boy strongly implies to his father that something nefarious happened in the apartment of the man who has recently moved in upstairs. The outraged father takes a baseball bat to the door of that apartment with the man cowering inside. But what really happened between the man and the boy?

Organisers of the Tribeca Film Festival have announced this year's line-up of 60 short films, 22 of which are world premieres.
The international festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, producer Jane Rosenthal and real-estate investor Craig Hatkoff to help revitalise Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood following the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The 2011 event - presented by founding sponsor American Express - will run from April 20 to May 1. The 60 shorts represent 21 countries, including the UK, and feature stars from around the globe.
In a new development this year, the recipient of the Tff Best Narrative Short award will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Oscars without the standard theatrical run, provided the film otherwise complies with Academy rules.
The short film program, drawn from 2,862 submissions, will be presented in eight thematic programs, which are detailed below.
There is a broad spectrum of styles and storytelling, from zombies taking over Manhattan to the humanitarian effort in Haiti.
