Plan

I want to add a "History" section to the "Korean Queer Film Festival" article. Right now the article only has an intro paragraph, and links to related articles. I want to look into who started the festival, what the initial reaction was by the public, popularity, possible controversies/backlash, and participation (the number of films screened each year & attendance). I also want to improve the sources used in the article, and provide more research on the subject.

Intro Draft

KQFF began in 2001 and has been held annually ever since. The purpose of the KQFF is to have a festival dedicated to stories about the lives of sexual minorities and promote this kind of storytelling in Korea. According to Korea Queer Film Festival’s official website, KQFF is a film festival held annually in Seoul that showcases the lives of sexual minorities, which seeks to increase diversity in Korean films and the human rights of LGBTQ+ people and give insight into queer culture. The Korean Queer Film Festival was originally named the "Rainbow Film Festival" (무지개영화제) for its 1st through 6th years, then changed its name to the "Seoul LGBT Film Festival" 서울LGBT영화제 for its 7th through 13th years, and since the 14th year has been referred to as the “Korean Queer Film Festival” (한국퀴어영화제).
