Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
The Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival has been postponed until November of 2011 while we continue to seek out qualified LGBT films for the Festival. As a first-time event, we want to make sure that the quality of the PVIGLFF meets, and hopefully exceeds, the cultural expectations of the destination, as well as its audience. We encourage all LGBT filmmakers around the world with Spanish language, or English language films with Spanish subtitles, to continue to submit their films for consideration.
The Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, PVIGLFF, is based in the world-renowned historic Zona Romantica of Puerto Vallarta, steps from the Gringo Gulch area which set the stage for the torrid love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton that brought Puerto Vallarta unique international attention.
Our first Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival will take place April 28th though May 1st, 2011, with screenings at both outdoor and indoor venues, from private estates, to beach clubs and cultural centers. Our Monthly Screening Series provides further screenings, educational, and social opportunities throughout the year for the LGBT community and its supporters.
As a grassroots Festival with programs supported by volunteers, assistance for the community is always appreciated and welcome. We look forward to everyone’s involvement in the Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Monthly Screening Series! Please CONTACT US to volunteer, sponsor events, provide accommodations, travel, or meals for talent, or provide a screening venue for the Festival or Monthly Screening Series. To receive our e-mail newsletter and updates on the Festival please SUBSCRIBE HERE.

The Amazing Race 16 » Puerto Vallarta
Updated February 22, 2010
Elimination Station is a web show on CBS.com where eliminated contestants from the networks highly-rated show, Amazing Race, live together to share their behind-the-scenes stories.
The network and web show premiered February 14 and, this season, their sequester location is here in Puerto Vallarta. As you follow each of the web shows (over several weeks and months), you’ll certainly recognize lots of Southside locations and “characters.”
Each new episode debuts immediately after Sunday night’s Amazing Race episode. Morgan Adams, Tim Longpre from PVRPV and Gary Green coordinated all of the local tours, activities, transportation and housing at the unbelievable 24,000 sq. ft. Villa Quinta Laura in lower Conchas Chinas.
AMAZING RACE 16:
Eleven Teams depart L.A., where Racers find themselves dangling 120 feet in the air, battling exhaustion and their fear of heights in order to stay alive in the game, and one Team discovers that Brazilian currency will not get them very far in Chile….
The following videos are the after-show activities of each week’s losers.
