About our October films:
Martini the Movie
As Martini Glass - - legendary actress of Hollywood's Golden Age - - prepares to audition for a role, she dishes the Tinseltown dirt with a flourish! With her fame fading, she is left to question whether her star will ever shine again.
The New Twenty
“Text is the new sex. Gay is the new straight. Friends are the new family. Thirty isn't what it used to be.”
Andrew, Ben, Felix, Julie, and Tony bond as friends while attending college. After graduation, they move to New York and the group friendship endures. Seven years later, as their lives play out in overlapping storylines, each character searches for some deeper connection that is just out of grasp: Ben cruises the Internet for sex with other men; Tony looks for commitment from a handsome professor; Felix takes the easy escape of drugs and the casual sex they inspire; Julie struggles to make sense of her own desires as a successful woman in this chorus of confused men. As for alpha-male Andrew? He wants it all.
As each friend prepares to turn 30, the group entertains an outsider: the older, charismatic Louie, who dazzles and amuses them with his aura of grown-up success and power. Streetwise, sexy, and Machiavellian, Louie circles the group, briefly joins it, and forever changes its chemistry. When he makes a tempting business proposal, Andrew - - the most ambitious and impatient of the lot - - cannot resist, and a rift develops between Andrew and the others.
Absurd, sad, funny, and ultimately heartrending, the climactic bachelor party opens the door for some surprising new futures for all of the characters. As in life, the net result is a mixed bag: sweet and sour, happy and sad, and hopeful. The group bond may be a thing of the past, but some friendships last. The New Twenty paints the portrait of a generation living the highs and lows of a Wall Street world destined to disappear overnight.
And Then Came Lola
In this time-bending, sexy, lesbian romp - - directly adapted from the art house classic Run Lola Run - - a talented, but distracted photographer, Lola, is on the verge of success in both love and work. However, she will lose it all if she doesn’t make it to a crucial meeting on time. As usual, Lola is late. With her job and girlfriend on the line, she has just one chance (or is that three?) to make it right. In a desperate race through the streets and backrooms of San Francisco, time grows short. Will Lola make it?
Training Rules: No Drinking, No Drugs, No Lesbians
Rene Portland had three training rules during her 26 years coaching basketball at Penn State - - no drinking, no drugs, and no lesbians. Training Rules examines how a wealthy athletic department, enabled by the silence of a complacent university, allowed talented athletes, thought to be gay, to be dismissed from their college team. The film follows the lawsuit filed in 2006 against Portland and Penn State by student athlete Jennifer Harris. This high-profile case ignited the world of women’s collegiate sports and inspired the discussions so sorely needed to end discrimination based on sexual orientation that pervades all organized sport.
The Island
Filmmaker Trevor Anderson considers a piece of "fan mail" he received suggesting that all gay men be sent to an island.
Combining animation and beat poetry, Anderson creates something so unexpected and so telling as to his wonderful nature that it can only be described as a magical, transformative, do-not-miss film.
Hollywood, je t'aime
“Voulez-vous L.A. avec moi?”
Recently broken up and barely enduring a dreary winter, gay Parisian Jerome Beaunez impulsively books a solo Christmas vacation to Los Angeles. While there he meets some colorful locals and pursues a dormant desire to become a movie star. In this meditation on love and narcissism across continents, Jerome goes far in the sun-drenched City of Angels but can never quite put the past behind him.
Honest, melancholic, and utterly charming, Hollywood, je t'aime is a stunning debut for lead actor Eric Debets, whose classic look and an amusing ease with his own awkwardness brings to mind Buster Keaton and Marcel Marceau.
Hello, My Name Is Herman.
Hello, My Name Is Herman. poignantly and humorously describes the relationship between a 91-year-old Jewish man, his lesbian granddaughter, and her girlfriend. This documentary explores intergenerational and interracial relationships, coming out, aging, and the process of accepting difference and love.
Hannah Free
Hannah and Rachel grew up as little girls in the same small, Midwest town, where traditional gender expectations eventually challenged their deep love for one another. Hannah became an adventurous, unapologetic lesbian, and Rachel grew to become a strong but quiet homemaker. Weaving back and forth between past and present, the film reveals how the women maintained their love affair despite a marriage, a World War, infidelities, and family denial.
Hannah Free is a film about a lifelong love affair between an independent spirit and the woman she calls home.
King County
A community theatre company searches for the next 80s movie to turn into a Broadway smash!
This mockumentary features musical numbers spoofing Fame, Mommie Dearest, Showgirls, Top Gun, and Yentl.
Mr. Right
Louise thought she’d met the man of her dreams, but it all went wrong when she introduced him to her gay friends . . . .
Harry hates being a TV producer and dreams of leaving his job to travel the world. He loves Alex, an aspiring actor who is struggling to create an identity for himself as a performer. Rugby player William’s nine-year-old daughter is intent on sabotaging his relationships with new boyfriends, and he’s finding it difficult to let Lawrence, a soap star, into his life. Lars is a handsome sometimes-model kept by Tom, a successful artist, who will forgive his every betrayal so long as Lars doesn’t leave him.
For those initiated into the gay community, Mr. Right will ring true; for those who aren’t, it will provide fascinating insight. Rather than being polemical or crudely comic, it deals with adult subjects which affect us all. The film merges Hoxton style with a blithe script that manages to balance between emotional soap opera and comedy of manners to create a savvy brew of Urban Queer Cool. In a modern world where straight men are awakening to the fact that gay people are the gate-keepers of the in-crowd, Mr. Right gives a crash course on understanding how their clique works.
The Golden Pin
A young Vietnamese-Canadian swimmer struggles between the expectations of his family and the demands of his heart. His father wants him to marry soon, but his mother, haunted by a past romance, has other ideas.
Told with honesty and compassion, The Golden Pin asks, “Is love more powerful than fate?”
The Hanging Garden
“It’s hard to go home . . . ten years after your death.”
After a ten-year absence, 25-year-old Sweet William, returns home to attend the wedding of his older sister, Rosemary. Both his father, Whiskey Mac (a violent drunk who insisted on giving all his children the names of plants in his beloved garden) and mother, Iris, are shocked to discover that William is no longer the angst-ridden, 350-pound teenager they once knew . . . most likely because, ten years ago, Sweet William hung himself from a tree in the garden, and the frozen image of his dead body remains so real to his family that it still swings there, haunting their lives.
Part gripping, slice-of-life drama, part haunting surrealist fantasy, and entirely rooted in a lush floral vocabulary, The Hanging Garden is an intensely heady and bittersweet pleasure that unearths deep family secrets with explosive effects.
I'm Sorry, Sterling
Poet RM Vaughan muses on his relationship to 50s film noir tough guy hunk Sterling Hayden, and why he cannot make his life more like a cinematic masterpiece.
Created by video/internet artist Jared Mitchell, the film inserts Vaughan into the rain-dappled, shadowed, and dreamy world of film noir, turning the poet into Hayden’s moll, lover, and accomplice. I’m Sorry, Sterling is a film about living your life “in the right movie” and an exploration of queer projection onto mainstream cinema.
Pornography
Told in a series of three interlinked vignettes, Pornography begins in the 1980s as a gay porn star is lured to meet with a mysterious - - and ultimately dangerous - - private client. The star’s disappearance is the obsession of the second vignette’s protagonist, a writer putting together a book on early gay pornography who finds himself supernaturally drawn into the story. The final part of the film revolves around a present-day porn star obsessed with re-creating the life and death of the missing star after dreaming of events seen in the first two parts of the film. The story lines all eventually intertwine in unclear ways with eerie imagery adding to the allure of this gripping supernatural, psychological thriller.
