Reeling: The Chicago Lesbian and Gay International Film Festival highlights independent LGBT films from across the U.S. and around the globe. At this year’s festival some of the international films include The Invisible Men, an Israeli film which tells the story of a persecuted gay Palestinian man who escapes, illegally, to Tel Aviv and Free to Love, a Puerto Rican film about the history of Puerto Rico’s LGBT movement. Milos Stehlik, director of Facets Multimedia and Richard Knight Jr., the festival’s programming director, tell us about some of the international films.
