Painting the world with rainbows and giving sexual minorities a voice, the 2007 Seoul Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual/gender Film Festival will unfold from June 6 to 10 at Seoul Art Cinema. A total of 15 international and domestic films, including full-length pieces and shorts, will be screened.

The festival, newly dubbed SeLFF, provides anyone and everyone a chance to celebrate their respective identities in full color. Through the language of cinema, the most commercial form of mass communication, the event speaks out to the world ``This is Queer,’’ as part of the 8th Korea Queer Culture Festival (www.kqcf.org), also to continue until June 10.

``Seen through the camera, queer folks’ passion for life and the reality that they face around the world will help all audience members to affirm themselves and provide them with a unique and delightful outlook on life,’’ said Park Jin, the SeLFF program director, in a statement.

``This is why the English acronym of the reborn film festival not incidentally sounds exactly like the word `self,’ for we hope that the SeLFF will serve as an arena where you start with your own selves and meet other selves,’’ said Park.
