10th Annual Toronto Inside-Out Film Festival
	This year's Inside-Out festival ran 84 programs featuring 320 films... 50 of them feature presentations. We stayed up until all hours of the morning (anything for you, honey) to bring you interviews and highlights from the gala closing night of Toronto's lesbian and gay film extravaganza.
9th Annual London Lesbian Film Festival
	A couple hours west of us, our intrepid (and new!) London reporter was taking in one of only five all-lesbian film fests in North America. This year's London Lesbian Film Festival featured 19 films, including a lesbian western called "SPAG" by Lynne R. Kamm where lots of gunfightin' and tobacco-chewin' goes on.
North America gets "Queer as Folk"
	Queer as Folk is an eight-part (plus two follow-on episodes) drama from the U.K. that follows the lives and loves of three young men - Stuart, Vince and Nathan - living it large in Manchester's Canal Street village. When first aired in Britain, it received more complaints than any other program broadcast on TV, mostly about the first episode which showed 15-year-old Nathan being introduced to sex by the promiscuous 29-year-old Stuart. The boys are coming to Canadian television - uncut - in June for their North American premiere on Showcase and we get the dish on the series and the new "American" version to be shot in Toronto this summer. If you're interested in chatting with other people (and maybe even its writer!) about the series check out the Showcase Queer as Folk discussion forum And if you're interested in the U.S. remake of Queer As Folk, check out our March, 2001 interview with Peter Paige ("Emmett") and Michelle Clunie ("Melanie") here.
"Village Voice"
	It's always a variety show at the corner of Church and Wellesley, and tonight we've got some gay smooching, bongo drums and blue hair for your enjoyment and/or amusement.
