The John Steven Kellett Freedom of Vision Award Bestowed to Iranian Film AT THE END OF EVIN

Grand Jury Prize: Best Picture (Feature Only) WINNER: WHEN THE OLYMPUS COLLIDES WITH THE PAMPAS

Special Jury Prize WINNER: INVISIBLE

This film is awarded in proxy for the enormous contribution of le***an songwriters to the machinery of the Nashville country-western music scene. This is a vital documentary about the creative force of gay women supplying material to country-western stars while they themselves are not allowed the simple privilege of visibility. The film allows us to witness the country radio industry as conservative, Christian-facaded, and misogynist - actively compromising any woman’s career who dared to be out.
