Valentine Road (2013) - Marta Cunningham

I did enjoy this film, and thought its subject matter made it important to everyone, no matter what their sexuality.
Marta Cunningham, the director, was present at the screening and made a very good point when asked why she didn't speak to the killer himself, Brandon: "He [Brandon] silenced Larry King's [the victim] voice when he shot him, so I didn't feel his deserved his own heard." However, Brandon McInerney was eager to be interviewed, which made her also feel uncomfortable.
A good start to the festival, even if it was a little too dark to be called entertaining, and the students interviewed all seemed to be very grouped to one lot of people.
