Beyond gay & lesbian Annual Philly film festival evolves into QFest
By LAUREN F. FRIEDMAN
Philadelphia Daily News

While QFest reflects a changing world, many of the screenings still struggle to draw a younger crowd, and Murray described the audience as "getting a year older every year." The same realities that create the "post-gay" sensibility found in many films may also jeopardize the existence of the festival itself.

"We're finding there's a break," Murray explained. "The 35-and-under crowd has grown up in a more open world, coming out and being accepted early."
