Paul Rice a queer Irish creative director forsook his comfortable life in SF to take a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway across Russia to see for himself what life is really like for the LGBTQ Community He even talked his Welsh bf Liam Jackson Montgomery into joining him.
The result is his very first feature film, a powerful documentary A Worm in the Heart that is about to have its World Premiere next week at Santa Barbara International Film Festival and so QUEERGURU caught up him for an exclusive interview in advance of the Event.
queerguru reviews Turkish filmmaker Ceyda Torun wonderful new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul. What had originally enticed Torun, a native of the city, was that for the largely Muslim population, the uniqueness of how street cats are treated is in fact not too dissimilar to how cows are honored in India. Certainly what she showed was a seemingly universal love of these feline creatures from the city’s residents and a compassionate understanding and acceptance of all the cat’s rather touching eccentricities, the like of which we have never witnessed on such a large scale.
This queerguru reports was filmed by Roger Walker-Dackfor P.T.V.
