Lucy Mulloy:"We are really pleased that Una Noche is playing at the Side by Side LGBT Film Festival. We want to support the important voice of the festival and the LGBT movement in Russia especially in the face of such homophobic oppression and exclusion. To keep screening and keep showing work and sharing LGBT stories is so important in stimulating a change in attitudes and giving a voice to the community. Thank you so much for including us."
