Yesterday was the opening night party of the Women’s Film Festival ! The night kicked off with LGBTQ films and included acoustic band Trusting Lucy performing before the show, trailers for movies on everything from Gwen Araujo to trannie-bike-messenger-speed-addicts, shorts by writer/ director/ actress and general lesbian-icon Guinevere Turner, and then a Q&A with Ms. Turner herself (yes we have a new crush).

We arrived pretty hungry so we can personally vouch for the catered hors d'oeuvres after our third trip back to the hummus bowl. And even though the dim red-light feel of 12 Galaxies made for a strange opening night venue, the crowd was all mingly and polite, young and old. You know, just like a fratty boy party!

After the jump: highlights from the short films, including everyone's favorite gay-marrying mayor, well-hung lesbians, and more! Picture of Guinevere Turner from the SFWFF website. And check out the schedule .
