According to festival director Jason Fiddler, DGLFF, established in 2011, is the oldest operating city-based LGBTIQ event of its kind in Africa. This year marks its seventh edition. Blue Seraph Productions’ first feature, Judas Kiss, screened in the festival’s inaugural year.
This is an absolute victory for South Africa where LGBT people still struggle to live without fear, but also where two best friends, one white and one black, depend so heavily on one another to overcome life’s most difficult challenges of love and loss! Well done to Blue Seraph for getting this extraordinary film of bravery and equality into the Durban Gay & Lesbian Film Festival!
