IX Side by Side LGBT Film Festival, Saint Petersburg, 2016 IX Side by Side LGBT Film Festival, 2016 | Page 30

There really are a lot of people who make this festival happen, not just the people you see at the festival venues. Many of them work behind the scenes, but the contributions of each and every one of them makes our beloved Side by Side vivacious, action- packed, amazing, and professional. Our team members attend workshops and seminars, lectures and informal meetings. Our helpers travel to other cities and countries to present Side by Side and Russia’s LGBT movement. Being on our team is an opportunity for growing and educating yourself, overcoming your own phobias and lack of self-confidence, feeling you are part of a tight community, expanding your horizons, and just having fun.
