Self-Actualization, this was a word used by programmer Shana Myara in describing Vancouver Queer Film Festival opening film, The Way He Looks, a beautiful film that certainly reached its full potential last night. This Brazilian film is about a visually impaired boy, Leo, craving independence in the throws of hormonal changes. When a new kid joins his class, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery using his other senses. Tenderly told by director Daniel Ribeiro, he strikes a delicate balance between titillation and compelling drama. My favourite part of the whole experience was to see the expanded universe initially created by Ribeiro in his enchanting short (I Dont Want To Go Back Alone), and revisiting the characters that made this film so endearing. An instant classic, see the short that started it: youtu.be/1Wav5KjBHbI
