Time is Ticking! 15 Days Countdown to Submission Close
In recent years, films reflecting the LGBTQ community have caught the attention of the public. At the 80th Oscar’s Academy Awards, “Call Me by Your Name” which narrates gay love and “A Fantastic Woman” that focuses on transgender, won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award and Best Foreign Film respectively.
In 2017, a growing number of excellent LGBTQ films were produced, including “Call Me by Your Name”, “120 Beats Per Minute”, “Thelma”……We even witnessed the film, Moonlight, which won the Best Picture of Academy Awards. This explains why film lovers have called 2017 the year of LGBTQ films.
