Inside Out, Toronto’s LBGT Film Festival, opened with quite some panache yesterday evening with the Gala screening of Sally El Hosaini’s My Brother Is the Devil followed by the annual opening bash at OCAD’s Great Hall!

The 10 day festival has quite a lot in store ranging from several North American premieres, special guests and festival receptions and events!

Inside Out kicks off the weekend with the ROM’s Friday Light Live! series tonight. Buddies in Bad Times Theatre hosts a group of queer performance artists who will interact with party goers as living exhibits, as part of The Great and Fabulous Display of Realness. There will also be a sneak peek of this year’s festival films, a special ticketed cocktails and cabaret event that will take place in the C5 Lounge. It’s sure to be an exciting night!

Here’s some photos from last night’s opening bash:
