Time Out says:

Founded in 2001, the East End Film Festival is now one of the UK's largest film festivals. This year the festival coincides with World Pride and includes more LGBT films than ever before, including 'Call Me Kuchu', 'How To Survive A Plague', 'Look At Me Again', 'Riot Girls' and 'Our Story'.

The festival runs for a week at various venues including Hackney Picturehouse and Stratford Picturehouse.


Among the film presented, "Call Me Guchu" from Uganda I mentioned in a previous post:

At the heart of the cultural carousal leading into this summer’s Olympic Games, EEFF 2012 will offer a dynamic, six day showcase of cinema from all over the globe.

Now established as one of the UK’s biggest film festivals, the EEFF returns for what will be its most high profile edition to date in a year where all eyes are on London’s most dynamic quarter, offering a full international programme of feature films, a selection of short film programmes and a full industry line up. Every year the EEFF supports its screenings with panels, workshops and immersive, site specific events exploring the power and meaning of cinema, and EEFF 2012 will be provocative, passionate, embracing, engaging and wholly-heartedly inclusive, in the manner of all truly great cinema.
