Reeling 2008 – Week one overview

WindyCityMediaGroup.com – by Richard Knight, Jr.

Reeling 2008, the second oldest gay and lesbian film festival in the country ( after San Francisco ) , turns 27 this year. Over the course of this year’s 11-day fest ( Nov. 6-16 ) , audiences will get a chance to see close to 70 independent features and shorts ranging from documentaries to intimate dramas – all with a queer bent. In addition to Reeling’s usual “something for every queer taste” line-up, fest organizers have added a new category: music videos. These will be showcased in a new series titled “Rock Reeling.”
