As we gear up for an awards season ripe with many quality queer films, it’s important to remember smaller successes who may get lost in the shuffle. Lgbt-themed film festivals Outfest and Frameline kicked off the summer, while New York’s own NewFest wrapped up last week. It’s always thrilling to see a gay film get awards attention, like the kind lavished on Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name” and foreign language contender “Bpm (Beats Per Minute).” But it’s been a banner year for nuanced queer films across the board, and especially ones from queer-identified filmmakers.
From up-and-comers making splashy debuts, to longtime favorites who have stepped up their game, the filmmakers on this list represent a varied swath of not only the Lgbt spectrum, but vastly different artistic styles. That means they have the potential to reach different audiences — and open up perspectives across demographics.

First up, please schedule your lunch breaks around snicks' liveblog of Days of Our Lives today and tomorrow.
I don't know about you, but I had a really, really terrible Monday. One thing that improved it was these pictures of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively having a backyard party with a dunk tank. Frankly, I'm amazed at the voodoo that keeps Ryan's trunks from falling down as low as they ride.
I didn't really think anything of it when I watched True Blood, but so soon after the controversy with George W. Bush's severed head on Game of Thrones, was it wise to put vigilantes in Obama masks?
Leave it to a group of physicists to take the fun out of Batman. They calculated that his flight with his cape is not only impossible, but if Wayne Enterprises geeks had figured out a way to make him glide, he...

Despite being in the online age of video, it seems the short film is still somewhat neglected when it comes to a proper outlet, so today I'll be shining the spotlight on a handful of the 60 short films playing at this year's Tribeca, many of them from some fine regional talents. Selection films will also be available to watch online through Tribeca's website.Shandor Garrison's Nightlife chronicles an evening in New York City, when two teens from very different sides of town strike up a friendship. The performances from Adam Soto and Olivia Whelan are nice and nuanced; they are lonely youth who just need to know that they matter to another, even if just for a few fleeting hours. Garrison as writer and director...
