Boy Culture
Drama, Dir. Q. Allan Brocka, 2006
Screens: Thursday, October 5th at 7pm
"Let's just call him X, a well-seasoned gay hustler with a string of steady johns. X is all business on the outside, the consummate professional---he's good for anything that pays and anything that pays is good. But X is a romantic with his own secret dreams of enduring love, a secret that frustrates both him and his improvised family---roommates Andrew, a sweet-but-coming-out-of-the-closet case, and Joey, a teenaged slut. When X meets a new client, a sophisticated older man interested in teasing out X’s romantic side, X's professionalism is tested and his life is turned---in the most sexy way possible---upside down. Adapting Philip Pierce’s incisive screenplay with panache, Brocka exhibits admirable range, offering a mix of irony, pathos and so much of the freaking yumminess that is Boy Culture." -- Shannon Kelley [info] [tickets]
FtF: Female to Femme
Documentary, Dirs. Elizabeth Stark, Kami Chisholm, 2006
Screens: Thursday, October 5th at 7:15pm
"A documentary that imagines more than it “documents”, FtF: Female to Femme denaturalizes gender and pushes for an understanding of femininity as multiple rather than singular, constructed rather than natural, and as being as potentially radical on someone `born female` as masculinity, which has lately been given a great deal of privilege in the group formerly known as the dyke community. Colorful, sexy, funny and moving, FtF features a host of fabulous femmes, including actress/ writer Guinivere Turner, rock stars Leslie Mah and Bitch, professors, activists, artists and dancers. FtF: female to femme makes use of parody and costuming much the way femme does: to create a saucy, indelible impression of a people and a politics central to the gender revolution." [info] [tickets]
Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds
Special Encore Screening
Comedy, Dir. Phillip J. Bartell, 2006
Screens: Thursday, October 5th at 8:45pm
"Boasting a cast of hunks and a witty script from Q. Allan Brocka (Eating Out and Boy Culture) and Phillip J. Bartell, Eating Out 2 promises more sexy, irreverent fun for everyone who loved the first edition. Returning to head up the cast are "American Idol" finalist Jim Verraros as Kyle and Emily Brooke Hands as Gwen, the ultimate fag hag. New to the cast, along with an array of studs, is John Waters veteran Mink Stole in a hilarious turn as Kyle's mom. This time the gang is going to infiltrate the ex-gay group, "Coming In" in an attempt to score with the newly arrived, hot nude model from art class. Gay men pretending to be straight, straight girls kissing girls...what's the world coming to? This film is witty, charming and lots of fun for everyone." [info] [tickets]
Saint of 9/11
Documentary, Dir. Glenn Holsten, 2006
Screens: Thursday, October 5th at 9pm
"Saint of 9/11 presents the turbulent, restless, spiritual and remarkable journey of Father Mychal Judge. Compassionate champion of the needy and forgotten, a beloved Fire Department Chaplain, rousing Irish-American balladeer and iconoclast, Father wrestled with his own private demons while touching others in powerful and miraculous ways. Mychal Judge knew the pain of loss and suffering. He struggled with alcoholism and was an outspoken AA advocate. Father Judge was a gay man who loved his priestly work. Saint of 9/11 portrays Mychal's life as a spiritual adventure and an honest embrace of life, where alcoholism and sexuality were acknowledged. Saint of 9/11 is the story of a life's journey interrupted. Inspired by his life, the documentary embraces Mychal's full humanity." -- source [info] [tickets]
