More than 50 films with gay themes were shown, and three seminars held, as part of the Fourth Beijing Queer Film Festival (BQFF) at the Songzhuang Art Center and Fanhall Cinema in Beijing.
The event, which ended on Sunday, attracted about 10,000 people. Most films were from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The opening movie Soundless Wind Chime by Hong Kong director Kit Hung, drew more than 500 people.
The other films shown included Spider Lilies on lesbian love by Zero Chou, and Eternal Summer, by Leste Chen, on the secret love between two boys. There were also screenings of independent films by local directors.
