On Tuesday, June 17th, Queer Black Cinema presents its 3rd Annual pride benefit, QBC VISIONS, at Harlem hotspot, Billie's Black. The "Night of Soul" event will be hosted by Def Poetry Jam artist, Buttafly Soul, and will feature soulific performer, NHOJJ. This popular special event not only helps to further develop QBC's monthly film programming; but, will aide in the premiere of the Queer Black Cinema International Film & Music Festival in October 2008- a festival that surely is one of a kind.

Other acts include Steph, the Sapphic Songstress, and Tyran Gem, some of today's emerging GLBT singers on the scene. This event is not only sure to be soulful but, a sexy night of film, music and gourmet soul food. QBC VISIONS 2008: Night of Soul takes place on June 17th at Billie's Black Restaurant & Lounge on 271 West 119th Street (b/t St. Nicholas Ave. & Frederick Douglas Blvd.). Tickets are available online for just $ 20.00 and $25.00 at the door. For more details on tickets, sponsorship or press inquiries, go to www.queerblackcinema.org.
