Queens, NY - March 28, 2024 - The 13th Annual Queens World Film Festival [http://www.queensworldfilmfestival.org] (QWFF) is proud to announce its lineup of tent pole films, featuring a stunning array of talent and storytelling from around the globe. These standout selections exemplify the festival's commitment to showcasing groundbreaking works and emerging voices in cinema.
Among the highly anticipated tent pole films is Who To Love [https://queensworldfilmfestival.org/films/who-to-love/] by Emmy, Grammy, and BAFTA winner Giorgio Testi, an international premiere that explores the struggles of a rising concert star grappling with mental health issues. The film, starring Greta Scarano, accompanies a soon-to-be-released album of the same title by Grammy and Golden Globe-winning artist/producer Dave Stewart.
Another highlight is Freedom Hair [https://queensworldfilmfestival.org/films/freedom-hair/], directed by Oscar-nominated writer/director Dianne Houston. Based on the inspiring true story of Melony Armstrong, the film follows a mother's journey to start a natural hair braiding business in Mississippi, overcoming obstacles imposed by a powerful cartel and the state itself.
Fresh off his Sundance Grand Jury prize for his short The MasterPiece, Alex Lora presents his first feature, Unicorns, a thought-provoking exploration of a feminist's experiences in the world of social media and moral judgments.
The festival also features Exit Interview [https://queensworldfilmfestival.org/films/exit-interview/], a romantic comedy by acclaimed producer and documentarian Victorious De Costa, known for his work on the NAACP Image Award-nominated HBO documentary Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn. The film boasts a star-studded cast and crew from the music industry.
