When you look back at what has happened to queer cinema in the past thirty years, it has been nothing short of revolutionary. The queer films available in 1976 to an emerging gay and lesbian community were few and far between - films such as Nom-ian... Is That You?, Ode To Billy Joe and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Fortunately, there was a group of gay filmmakers in San Francisco who decided to look
elsewhere for images of themselves - to each other. With this, our Fil m Festival was born, ushering in what we now know as q ueer cinema. Frameli ne30 celebrates this revolutionary act of th irty years ago by once again bring ing together for 11 days in June the best in LGBT cinema from a round the world. Eleven years after opening the Festival with her hit The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love, Maria Maggenti returns with our Opening Night Film, her long-awa ited new roma ntic comedy Puccini for Beginners. Elizabeth Reaser, Gretchen Mol and Justin Kirk star in this delightfu l tale of the u ps and downs of modern queer love. Dn July 1, 200 5 , the Spanish Parl ia ment legalized same-sex marriage, and �i rector Manuel G6mez Pereira wasted no time en listing some of Spain's greatest screen actresses, as wel l as some of the cou ntry's male movie heartt h ro bs, to m a ke o u r Closing Night Film, Queens, the hilarious story of a m ass wedding of same-sex couples. Centered between these two evenings, Fra meli ne30 will screen 266 films from 33 cou ntries, everything from the first gay film from Bosn ia, Go West, to the fi rst feature-length gay animated film, Queer Duck: The Movie. This year we honor French d i rector Fra ngois Dzon with the 2006 Frameline Award. Fra meline introduced Dzon to San Francisco a udiences with h is early fil ms (A Summer Dress, Sitcom, Criminal Lovers, Water Drops on Burning Rocks) a n d applau ded h is international success with such films as 8 Women and Swimming Pool.
Framel ine welcomes Dzon back to the Festiva l with o u r Centerpiece, the melancholy Time to Leave, starring Melvil Pou paud and French film legend Jea nne Moreau . To m a ke i t easier t o find the fil ms you're looking for, we've reorgan ized o u r program guide into d ifferent sec tions: US Features, World Cinema, Docs, Shorts and Family Film. And up front you will notice a new Showcase section featuring eight rem a rka ble fil ms that represent the excellence and diversity of Frameline30 and the cur rent state of q ueer cinema . We' re a lso i ntroducing a new venue to the Festival this yea r, CinMrts @ Empire, just a short six- m i nute ride on MU N I from the Castro Theatre. This yea r it is also time to assess the state of LGBT cinema with our Persistent Vision Conference 2006, a fou r-day gathering of filmmakers, distributors, festival program mers and scholars. The conference will look in-depth at the following q uestions: Where are we now? Whose images are not being seen? What are o u r next chal lenges? As we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Festiva l , we are a lso celebrating what h as been a very rem a rk a ble yea r for q ueer cinema here in the US a n d a round the world, the yea r of Brokeback Mountain. Ang Lee's su perb tragic ro m ance caught the nation's attention like no gay fil m before. We ask you to come to this yea r's Festiva l sea rching for you r next Brokeback Mountain . It may not be a gay rom ance; it could very well be a lesbian thriller o r a transgender comedy. But one thing is certai n: it will be something you h ave never seen before. Enjoy Frameline30!

Frameline would not have thrived for the past thirty years without the outstanding support of its Festival Sponsors. Frameline30 would like to honor those organizations that have sponsored Frameline for ten consecutive years or longer. These organizations took brave steps to support Frameline and LGBT cinema at a time when "gay marketing" was not even a catchphrase. Frameline honors the individuals in these organizations, who have committed time, money, resources and energy to help keep these partnerships and Frameline alive. Frameline30 salutes you!

Last year we said it was possible to change the world, one movie at a time. In overwhelming numbers you agreed. More than
200
of you contributed to Frameline's Campaign for the Future of
Queer Film, helping us raise an astonishing
$925,000 in support of LGBT media.
We're now well on our way toward meeting our Campaign goal of
$1,250,000.
With your continued support, we'll get there soon. We have a lot to show for this first round of success, and we want to share this exciting news with you. We all can be very proud of the new and expanded programs that your generosity has helped bring to life. We're also looking ahead to "what's next" in our three main program areas - Exhibition, Distribution and Filmmaker Support. And please join us in thanking the community members who have lent their support thus far. Please consider joining our growing family of dedicated donors by making a contribution to our campaign. Help us build an exciting future and a lasting legacy for LGBT media.

The San Francisco LGBT Community Center www.pv2006.org The Persistent Vision 2006 Conference will bring together an international array of LGBT media-makers, programmers, distributors and scholars to discuss the state of the field and to envision what lies ahead for LGBT media arts. The success of Brokeback

After Alegra's commitment issues send her girlfriend (Julianne Nicholson) into the arms of a male rival, Alegra finds herself suddenly attracted to two new lovers: Philip (the delicious Justin Kirk of Angels In America fame) and Grace (Gretchen Mol of The Notorious Bettie Page) . With a wacky chorus of sushi chefs and New York City bysta nders making trenchant observations on Alegra's love life, Puccini for Beginners u nfolds as a nonstop laugh-fest full of insights on evolving sexual identities and the quest for love in New York City. When Alegra begs Philip to "respect the in herent boundaries that sexual identity req uires," Philip wisely refuses, pointi ng out (with utter sincerity) that "love has no boundaries."

Fans of Pedro Almod6var will delight in this queer screwball comedy about a mass public wedding staged to celebrate Spain's legalization of same-sex marriage. The handsome grooms-to-be include Rafa, the pampered son of a famous actress, who's marrying Jonas, the son of his mother's gardener; 6 scar, an Argentinian massage therapist whose meddlesome mama might just send his fussy boyfriend, Miguel, packing; and Hugo and Narciso, whose pre-wedding jitters bring out a burst of eleventh-hour infidelity. But the real q ueens here are the mothers of the grooms, who all have dramas of , their own. Di rector Manuel G6mez Pereira has brought together the reinas of Spanish cinema, many of them familiar faces from the films of Almod6var. Ver6nica Forqu8 (Kika) is Narciso's nymphomaniac mother, whose penchant for anonymous sex i n
unlikely places knows n o bounds. Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous , Breakdown) is the hotelier hosting the reception, hiding the fact that her own marriage

Frameline is proud to present its annual award for significant contribution to
LGBT film to Fran�ois Ozon, whose cinematic trajectory thus far from black comedies through
sinister psychological thrillers to incisive yet n o less vibrant character studies marks him as a major talent on the i nternational scene. The qual ity and quantity of azon's oeuvre thus far has been consistently startling and rewarding. He learned his craft in film school, studying i n Paris with master French filmmaker Eric Rohmer and making 14 shorts and mini features, includingA Summer Dress and See the Sea. Sitcom, azon's firstfeature-Iength narrative, skewers an u ptight bourgeois family under the spell of a frisky pet rat. He fol lowed with the sexed-up, grimly funny fairy tale Criminal Lovers and the Fassbinder homage Water Drops on Burning Rocks, both stylistically assured and very cheeky.
Just when everyone had azon pegged a s an enfant terrible who reveled in bondage, cannibalism and ca mp, he changed direction and flaunted his Hitchcock and Cukor influences with Under the Sand, featuring a daring performance by Charlotte Ram pling as a woman unable to accept her husband's death. Next came 8 Women, i n which the creme de la creme of French actresses rom p through a murder mystery replete with musical numbers, Sirkia n melodrama and set decor to die for. Rampling returned in the tantaliz ing mi ndfuck Swimming Pool, azon's most popular stateside film to date. The demise of a marriage is chillingly tracked in reverse time in 5x2, while Time to Leave, azon's latest and most mature work to date, is the second in
a proposed trilogy dealing with death.
In addition to our Centerpiece
The Frameline Award , given in recent years to queer film luminaries such as

Celebrated French auteur Frangois Ozon (Swimming Pool, 8 Women, Criminal Lovers) tones down his custom ary outrageousness for this brilliantly directed, emotionally wrenching story of Romain (Melvil Poupaud), a hot shot fashion photogra pher in the pri me of life who must confront his mortality upon learning he has a fatal illness. Stricken not with AI DS, as he first assumes (recalling hedonistic trawls through boy bars and sex clubs), Romain reacts' to the unexpected news with full-throttle intensity, ranging frpm destructive anger to sober resig nation. Determined to make the most of his rema ining days, Romain sets free his devoted lover Sasha, makes peace with his estranged sister and, in one of the film's most memorable scenes, visits his magisterial grand mother (French cinema's grande dame, Jea nne Moreau) for a heart-to-heart talk. Before shuffling off this mortal coi l, Romain enters into a menage a trois with a cafe waitress (Valeria Bru ni-Tedeschi, star of Frameline29's Opening Night film, Cote d'Azur) and her husband, but sex is not all they have in mind, and Romain must make a final decision that completes his circle of life. As in previous films, Ozon mines potentially melodramatic territory, but this time plays it straight, shunning distanced irony in favor of unfettered feeling and a deep respect for his characters' chal lenges and choices. Although its tone is wistful and elegiac, the fifm ends on a note of grace, as Ro main finds meaning in gestures of kindness and selflessness, and in slowing down to see not

20 Centimeters Friday June 1 6 I 8:00 pm I Victoria $9 mem bers I $10 general I CENT16V
Vetera n Spanish filmmaker Ramon Salazar draws upon the conventions of the over-the-top Hol lywood musical to tel l the raw, dramatic and often hilarious story of Marieta (Monica Cervera), an unforgettable transvestite with transsexual dreams and a "20-centimeter problem." Marieta (born Adolfo) needs cash to remove a rather large and cum bersome fa mily trait, yet the conventional job opportunities presented her, like dressing as a man for janitorial work, don't do the trick. More often than not, as night falls, Marieta works the streets alongside a vibrant group of women at various stages along the road of life. To complicate an already challenging existence, Marieta has narcolepsy and is prone to fall asleep without warning at any moment. In these unexpected moments of sleep, Marieta enters a fantasy world where Madrid becomes the magical stage of her leading-lady dreams. In mesmerizing musical outbursts, drab backgrounds are transformed into vivid settings in which Marieta sings her heart out, and steals our hearts. Salazar sympathetically presents a memorable cast of sexual outlaws who've "all got talent but don't have the money to develop it." Featu ring the music of Queen, Madonna and Ani Di Franco, 20 Centimeters just might steal the "most outrageous musical" crown from that previous Frameline favorite, Yes Nurse! No Nurse! - ROBERT O'SHAUGHNESSY 2'0 CENTIMETERS

Here it is! Yet another totally crass and absolutely un-rC. movie about a group of high school boys who want to get laid, an una pologetic glorification of wanton nudity and gratuitous sexual humor - except that these guys are gay. This is not a "touching story of being true to yourself," nor the "moving drama of one man's struggle against oppres sion." Instead, Another Gay Movie relishes its own perversity and refreshingly offers no lessons other than the dangers of excessive enemas. And it's great! Beca use sometimes we gays want the tears of a Brokeback Mountain, but sometimes we just want to laugh. College-bound Andy (Michael Carbonaro) is always horny, but his mother's (Lypsinka) cucumbers aren't hitting the spot. So he makes a pledge with his friends, jock Jared (Jonathon Chase), flamboyant Nico (Jonah Blechman) and bookish
Griff (M itch Morris), to get the real t ďż˝ ing before summer ends. While Andy is hot for his teacher (Graham Norton), the others
are still seeking the right someone to break them in. In the quest for a good lay, they meet an assortm.ent of characters from across the gay spectru m, including porn star Matthew Rush and Survivor Richard Hatch. None are immune from di rector Todd Stephens' (Edge of Seventeen) wicked satire. P R O U D LY SPONSORED B Y

There's al most nothing as disheartening for a young gay guy than to decide he's seen it all. X, the hunky hero of Q. Allan Brocka's (Eating Out) latest feature, is just such a guy. A wel l-seasoned gay hustler with a string of steady johns, he's the consummate professional: up for almost anything that pays, and fastid iously careful with his heart. But secretly he's not past his own d reams of love and lust; his roommate Andrew, a d reamboat with one foot out of the closet, keeps X secretly hot and bothered, while their other roommate, teenaged Joey, nurses a smold ering crush on X. There's just enough drama to keep the day interesting, but too much possibil ity for X to deal with directly. In the midst of this testosterone storm, X's world is rocked once more when he meets new client Gregory, a sophisti足 cated older man who's seemi ngly more interested in X's mind and di lemmas than in his usual stud services. Before long, it's as if X has been given the opportunity to see different sides of himself: the hopefu l young man, the emergent q ueer and the man he could become, happy to have loved, lost and lived life to the fullest. Soon X's love for Andrew makes way for some足 thing warmer, more vulnerable and . . . of course . . . scarier. Adapting Philip Pierce's incisive screenplay with panache, Brocka exh ibits admirable range, offeri ng a mix of irony, pathos and sexiness that hits contemporary boy culture right on the head.

Cheyenne, fed u p with a year of unem ployment after being sacked from her job as a journalist, heads for a remote vil lage to prove she can live off the land. Sonia retreats into the teaching job she loves, and picks up a series of ill-matched one night sta nds, including an idealistic you ng man and a bitter, washed-up woman. Yet their enduring love nags at the corners of their minds each day they are apa rt. Rem ini scent of French New Wave cinema, at once h u morous and phi losophical, d i rector Valerie Minetto's fil m uses experimental hijinks to artfully tell the story of the women's u nusual sepa ration. With beautiful simpli city it traces their estra ngement, confusion and eventual redemption. Woven into the classic tale of love lost are complex social and political concerns as Sonia opens her home to the cha.os of strangers, the rebellion of her youthful students and the i ntrigue of new lovers, and Cheyenne systematically rejects everything she once knew. Remarka bly m u lti di mensional and fresh, Looking for Cheyenne will leave viewers im mensely satisfied - not least because lead actresses Mila Dekker (Cheyenne) and Aurelia Petit (Sonia) make the fi lm a true visual feast. - ERIN CULLERTON

What do you do when an art form that has been the outlet for a disenfranchised people is hurled hurtfully at people who are even more disenfranchised? In the swaggering and often homophobic world of rap and hip-hop, a few queer revol utionaries have done what revolutionaries always do -seize the means of production ! Bursting at the seam s with life, this documen tary traces the inci pient hopes of a generation of MCs out to claim verbal territory from a resistant musical genre. Spanning the nation, fi lmmaker Alex Hinton introduces us to innovators and icons of the scene. Katastrophe, an FTM lyrical liberator, says he just wants to provide a place where queer hip-hop fans can go "that doesn't just fucking tear them down." Dutchboy, a self-described fu nky bisexual, formed the first group of out rappers. Even in this small (but growing!) scene, there are a wide variety of styles and philosophies, from Miss Money, who says she's a hip-hop artist who's gay, not an C O - P R E S ENTED B Y

Strangers With Candy Thursday June 22 I 9: 1 5 p m I Cin eArts @ Empire $9 members I $10 general I STRA22E
When the cult television hit "Strangers With Candy" was taken off the air, a cry of sad ness was heard throughout the land; the news brought grown men to thei r knees and made newborn ba bies explode. Well, let the healing begin! The long-awaited film version is ready for its coming-out party. The cast and writers from the original series are reun ited for this prequel, which takes us back to when our hero, Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris), emerges from her long prison stay. A 46-year-old ex-junkie, she returns to high school in a bid to start her life over, and hopefully snap her father out of his 32-year coma. Jerri real izes that high school isn't so different from prison, and her hyperactive li bido sends her chasing after anyth ing with a pulse. The film (as was the show) is a showcase for the incomparable Sedaris. Her physical transformation and soulfully twisted embodiment of Jerri are nothing short of comic genius. Sedaris and her costars and writers Paul Dinello (who also directed) and Stephen Colbert have mastered the art of shock comedy, brilliantly layering it with satire and innuendo. So all you "users, boozers and losers" out there, get off you r asses and come get a taste of this sweet, sweet candy. - TREVOR GROTH, SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL STRANGERS WITH CANDY

Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner Friday June 23 I 6:00 pm I Castro $9 members I $10 general I WRES23C
One of our greatest living playwrights, Pul itzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner (Angels in America) is a consum足 mate artist and indom itable political activist committed to equality and social justice. A Jewish homosexual raised in the heart of the Deep South, Kushner has become a compassionate voice for outsiders in a climate of repression and censorship. Wrestling With Angels covers three years of Kush ner's life, from 9/1 1 to the 2004 presidential election, capturing the fierce
moral responsibility that pervades this passionate artist's work. Perhaps the greatest compliment to Freida Lee Mock's fi lm is that she does justice to her brilliant subject, entwining interviews with leading theater a rtists and personal moments fro m Kus hner's life with scenes from his plays. Watching . Marcia Gay Harden as Laura Bush in a scene from one of Kushner's lesser-known plays is itself worth the price of admission. Hearing Meryl Streep read a prayer that Kushner wrote asking-no, demanding-that God put an end to AIDS will tear your heart out. P R O U D LY SPONSORED BY
tlU U N I T E D Official and Exclusive Airline Sponsor
Fiercely political, deeply personal, incredibly intelligent, fun ny, poignant, hopeful and immensely spiritual, Kushner's work is a bright shining light. Like Tony Kushner himself, Mock's film about him is a m ultifaceted gem that sparkles as it enlightens on many levels. - DAVID COURIER WRESTLING WITH ANGELS: PLAYWRIGHT TONY KUSHNER

Christian Caison, who created the dark and controver sial world of Shiner (Frameline28), returns to take us on a thrilling, sexy and chaotic road trip with a mysteri ous guy named Anthony. Once a criminal, Anthony is now living in sort-of domestic bliss with Donna, his sort-of girlfriend, and her queer younger brother. When Donna's estranged father dies, she enlists Anthony to accompany her on a road trip home. Along the way, they encounter a bizarre roster of folks: a compassionate psychic, a pervert with no guts, a hooker or two, a stranded drag act and an unhinged evangelical. Then there's Jack, a figure from Anthony 's crimi nal past who may be sta lking him on this trip across America's twisted heartland. Once upon a time, Jack saved Anthony from a torturous retri bution from his own gang for a job gone wrong. The two exchanged a hasty look into each other's eyes, filled with surprising longing, then separated. Is the man following them actually Jack? And has Jack crossed their path by coin cidence, or is he back on the job? When the two men eventually come face to face in a remote gas station bathroom, Anthony must finally confront his dangerous and passionate past, as well as the heart that still beats within his mortal chest, a heart that demands both blood and love. In a film full of sex, violence and emotion, Caison once again inves tigates the borders of what we ca ll "q ueer cinema."

Joe and Mary Hahn seem to be the perfect al l-American couple. Devoted, caring spouses who share not only a beautiful home but also complete fi nancial secu rity, they live by the faith that their marriage will last forever. There's just one tiny problem: they're both gay. Joe hires the new (not to mention hot) landscaper from the back pages of a gay magazine and spends his afternoons cruising in the park. Mary, worried a bout losing her mother's inheritance, is so deep in the closet she's convinced herself there's nothing wrong with her straight and narrow path. Pulling the wool' over everyone else's eyes comes easy, but the cracks in their fagade are beginning to surface. In this West Coast premiere of d i rector Damion Dietz's captivating character study, we get a glimpse into the lives of two people who can't seem to face the truth a bout their lives. But despite their ongoing denial, reality boils to the surface over and over again. At once sym pathetic and unforgiving, the film exposes their deepest fears while ra ising many difficult questions. As the two wrestle with societal pressures and the fear of coming out, we have the pleasure of watching them work out their frustrations in bed -with queer lovers, of course. - ERIN CULLERTON

Hunky young artist Manny Yates (Andreau Thomas)
B�sed on the novel by lesbian literary icon May Sarton, Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing is a very
different sort of film in the best possible way. Through narrative and flashback, the film tells the story of the writer H i l a ry Steve ns (played by Lucy Brightman as an adult and by Acacia Leigh Duncan as a teenager), a major novelist of the 1 920s who ulti mately rejected na rrative fiction to become a poet. The film begi ns in the 1960s with H i l ary as an elderly woman preparing for the arrival of two interviewers; one is a young female reporter yearn ing for validation from Mrs. Stevens and eager for lessons on how to be both a woman and a writer. Through the memories of Mrs. Stevens, the fi lm examines the growth of femin ism and the conflicts of career versus family. The fasci nati ng life of a fashion able and brilliant woman - her loves, her trials, her conflicts and resolutions -are all conveyed i n a lush visual style that transports the viewer back in time. Rare are the films that examine the lives of our elders; even more rarely are they this well done, as director and screenwriter Linda Thorn burg (making her first feature film) brings a deft touch to a compelling story. Romantic, smart a n d exq uisite, Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing is an easy film to love. MRS. STEVENS HEARS THE M ERMAIDS S I N G I N G dir Linda

loves to cruise the Internet for hot sex, especially on a popular Washi ngton, DC-based gay video site. But what starts out as uncomplicated fun turns terrifying when an Internet serial killer signs on and begi ns an on-camera killing spree. When Manny emerges as the only connection between the gruesome series of murders, the darkly sexy and sardonic cop Hamilton (Amir Darvish) is on the case-and on Manny! Everyone in Manny's tight group of friends is a suspect. Top on Hami lton's list is Manny's adorable but very jealous ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, the newly out-of the-closet Hamilton has his own problems with his ex wife. As the killer moves in closer, so does Hamilton. Manny must let this hot cop take control "under cover" -not only to solve the crimes but also to break through his own icy barriers to love. But catching the killer, and . Manny's heart, isn't going to be easy. Director Robert Gaston calls on a talented cast of handsome newcomers to create a dark world of intrigue and nai l-biti ng suspense. Darvish plays H a m i lton with a nod to Bogart's Philip Marlowe and Nicholson's Jake Gittes in Chinatown; Andreau Thomas' flirtatious, mouth-watering Manny commands the screen. With a great soundtrack, unexpected plot twi�ts and lots of steamy sex, OpenCam is a'crime thriller that will have you glued to your seat.

Queer Duck began as an online character before his ani mated adventu res were picked up by Showtime and scree ned with "Queer as Fol k." If you l i ked the TV series, you'll be thrilled to see your favorite characters (including Bi-Polar Bear and Oscar Wildcat) in action again in Queer Duck: The Movie! Queer Duck's creator Mike Reiss (also known for his work on "The Simp sons") brings us a funny, clever and outrageous ani mated feature filled with humor, music and tons of surprise celebrity guests. After being with Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator for a very long time ( 1 8 months), Adam Seymour "Queer Duck" Duckstein questions his gay identity and decides to marry Lola, an eccentric Tony-winning actress. Queer Duck must ",c hange" before marrying Lola, so he seeks help from "Homo No Mo." After going through unsuc cessful gay shock treatment, the 'mo mallard is poisoned with an evi l mix that turns h i m into a hetero-hairy macho duck just in time for the wedding. Meanwhile, Openly Gator hires a Liza Minnelli impersonator to make Queer Duck jealous - but his plan backfires. Queer Duck: The Movie has it all - laughs, out landish plot twists, m usical nu mbers and celebrity "cameos" including Joan Rivers, Bjork, Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Barbra Streisand. Gu est voices include Tim Cu rry, Conan O ' Brien and David Duchovny (as Baby Jesus). - MACHU LATORRE QUEER DUCK: THE MOVIE dir Mike Reiss 2005 USA 74 min video

Billy is a chu bby, girl ish boy who wou ld rather day d ream a bout being La na, the heroine of his favorite TV show, "Adventures in Space," than play rugby. His best friend - and complete opposite - is his cousi n Lou , who wou ld rather be Brad , t h e s how ' s rugged hero. Lou can't wait u nti l the d ay when she can cut off her long hair -and Billy can't wait, either: Lou's promised to give it to him, so he'll have a real ponytai l , instead of having to pin a cow 's ta il i nside his jaunty hat. Such in nocence is bliss, of course, but it doesn't last long. Billy and Lou become acutely aware that soci ety at large frowns sternly u pon messing with gender roles, and it isn't long before Billy is labeled a "poofter."

While much of the film is whimsical, it does n't forget that child hood friendships can be rocked by ragi ng torrents of a dolescent hormones that arouse meanness, betrayal and the rawest jealousy. Director Stewart Main exhibits a gift for directing you ng actors, and each of their performances is pitch perfect, capturing all the awkwardness of early adoles cence. Against a remote backwoods la ndscape, these charming, offbeat characters suffer remarkably fa miliar growing pains. - NOAH COWAN

An elegant, nuanced drama with horrific subject mat ter, A Love to Hide is set in Paris in 1942 . Jean and Phili ppe, two young gay lovers in occu pied Fra nce, risk their lives to hide a childhood J ewish friend, Sarah, whose family has been killed by the Gestapo. They struggle to survive as a makeshift family in a pitiless society. When Jean's black-s heep b rother - a Nazi collaborator -arrives, their fragi le bond is threatened. The spectre of tragedy slowly closes in when Jean is exposed as a member of the "third sex" and fa lsely accused of having an affair with a Nazi. With remarkable performances by Jeremie Renier (Criminal Lovers) and Bruno Todeschini (Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train), the fil m features meticu

In a world relentlessly tuned in to "American Idol" and the daily lives of the TomKats and Bennifers, the uni versal obsession with celebrity can cross the line into fanati cism. In keeping with the times, Emmanuelle Bercot's stu nning feature directorial debut, Backstage, traces a starstruck teenager's fixation on a gorgeous and enigmatic pop star diva. Bercot explores the psy ches of both the star and her adoring fan to reveal a troubling view on the world of celebrity worship and the complicated trappings of fame. Lucie (beautifully portrayed by rising French star Isild Le Besco) is a typical teenager living in a provin cial suburb in France. Her predictable life is forever changed when a reality television show brings sexy pop chanteuse Lauren Waks (the stu nning Emmanuelle Seigner) right into Lucie's bedroom and, unwittingly, forever into her life. A huge fan, Lucie disintegrates in

When James is revealed to be one Matthew Honeycutt, and the police charge him with identity theft and public mischief, the mystery deepens. Why would he appear on television if he was on the lam? Who is the real James Brighton, and what's become of him? Sylvie, a dogged doctoral stud ent of criminology, helps provide James/Matthew with the closure he needs - but reveals
Lauren's presence; the taping of the show is a disaster. Yet Lucie refuses to let go of her fantasy relationship with Lauren, and she fearlessly works her way into the pop star's lonely and complicated life. The relationship that unfolds between the two exposes the dark and destructive world that lies behind the glittering fagade of celebrity and stardom.

As the title suggests, the characters in Far From Sun set Boulevard are even more removed from Hollywood glitz than Norma Desmond. Set in Stalinist Russia, this is the story of the sacrifices one man makes for his art -and for love. Aspiring fi lmmaker Konstantin Dalmatov (Sergei Tsiss) has returned to Moscow after a long sojourn in Hollywood with his lover, the famous director Alexa n der Ma nsourov (Boris Nevzorov). Konstantin resisted the opportunity to remain in the United States, choos i ng instead to pursue his art in his homeland. As doors begin to open, Konstantin discovers that "they know everything." Desperately wanti ng to make grand musi cals, he is offered a choice: sign a paper declaring he will reveal any information asked and be allowed to work, or don't sign and forever end the possibility of making movies. Konstantin's lover counsels the young man to sign, assuaging any worries that the di rector might be threatened with blackmail. Konstantin signs. Although the signature opens doors, Konstantin feels no less threatened so, to further deflect attention from his "deviance," he marries his leading actress, Lidia Poliakova (Julia Svejakova). Despite their abrupt success, all the compromises make the newlyweds feel nothing but shame. As the Stalinist purges creep into their insular world, each must decide how much they are willing to give up for success.

Ahmed Imamovic's Go West follows the story of two young lovers, a Muslim cellist, Kenan, a nd a Serbian student, Milan. Kenan narrates their fight to survive amid the brutal inter-ethnic wars in Bosnia and Herze govina in the early 1990s. As Serb aggression persists in Sarajevo, Kenan's faith makes him a prime target. To avoid questioni ng, Kenan d resses as a woman and poses as Milan's wife. The two flee to M i lan's home town where Ke nan i s i ntrodu ced as M i lan's bride. Though the colorful town seems convinced by the cha rade,' Kenan still agonizes over the fate of his fellow Muslims. Can Kenan's secret be kept long enough for them to escape?

Spa n n i ng fo ur extraord i nary years of tragedy and change, The Line o f Beauty is a story a bout l ove, class, sex and money that gets deep under the skin of Thatcherite '80s in London. Framed by the two general elections of the decade, which retu rned M a rga ret Thatcher and the Conservative government to power, this three-part series from the BBC follows the journey of Nick Guest into the heart of the beautiful and seduc tive world of the social el ite. A young graduate of modest means, Nick moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Fed- . dens: Tory MP Gerald, his wealthy wife Rachel and their two children, Toby -whom Nick had idolized at Oxford -and Catherine, who's always standing up to the fa m ily. During his stay, Nick experiences every extreme of the booming '80s. Amidst the euphoria of high society parties, vacations in France and secret love affairs (first with a young black clerk and then a Lebanese mil lionaire), Nick witnesses political scandal, deception, hypocrisy and the tragic outbreak of AI DS. Adapted by award-wi nn'ing scri ptwriter Andrew Davies (Tipping the Velvet, Bleak House) from the prize-wi nning novel by Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty is a richly textured comi ng-of-age story set against the backdrop of a ruthless decade, bristling with emotion, drama and social cOll!mentary.

In Lqst in Generation, lesbian filmmakers from Berl in trace the lives of women between the ages of 1 6 and 60. Structured around three shorts, the fi lm explores the universal search for happiness. Brief real-life interviews tie the stories together, as women of diverse ages talk honestly about their dreams, gender identities and atti tudes towards aging and life experience. From teenage frustrations to new discoveries made in the later years, these engaging fictional and real-l ife women confront the unique challenges of their age group. In Bye Bye Antonia, 1 6-year-old Toni hangs with boys and BMX bikers, setting herself distinctly apart from the other girls in her peer group. Toni confronts the challenges of being different and is encouraged to trust in herself. Cherchez la Butch is the hilarious tale of forty-year-old Elke, who is seeking the woman of her dreams. Trying every modern approach, Elke is left frus trated with the options that come her way. Eventually, imagination and reality collide and the love of her life turns out to be different than anyone would expect. In Helena, a lesbian woman approaching her later years decides she is fed up with life, but chance occurrences force her down an unexpected path that turns her life around in a heartbeat. Preceding Lost in Generation is the hau nting short film Sontag Morgen. Intense longing and desire for a past relationship conti nues to haunt a broken hearted lover at every sunrise.

Bodies, rest and motion . . . The Masseur is an unex pected film to come from the Philippines: an intricately structured meditation on the body in life and death which divides its attention between a funeral and acts of sex without flinching from either. Iliac (newcomer Coco Martin) is the twenty-year old eldest son of a truck driver based in provincial Pampanga; like many uneducated boys his age who move to Manila in search of work, he has gravitated to the sex industry. He is one of a dozen or so boys work ing as masseurs-prostitutes in a club called Maharlika; we follow his session with a client named Herbert, who lives with his mother and writes trashy romance novels under the name Marina Hidalgo. Meanwhile, I liac's hard-as-nails girlfriend, a bar hostess, waits outside in a taxi for him to get off work. The typical evening in Maharlika (during which one boy suffers an asthma attack brought on by baby powder) is cross-cut with Il iac's later tri p home to Pa mpa nga for his father's funeral, a trip that brings to a head his feelings for his mother, brother and sister, and his conflicted feelings about his promiscuous father. First-time director Brillante Mendoza finesses both the film's un usual structure and its unembarrassed observation of both milieus. It's a fine achievement. - VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL THE MASSEUR dir Brillante Mendoza 2005 Philippi nes 80 min 35mm

What if Ozzie and Harriet and June and Ward Cleaver decided to partner swap? What if Richie Cunningham got sweet for Ralph Malph? Or if Jan Brady was a lesbian?

And what if Wally, looking for beaver, started humping The Beaver? Sh ocking behavior suddenly runs amok in an upper-middle-class family in Sitcom, a French farce that mixes Pedro Almodovar's love for the absurd with John Waters' disdain for family values. Mom is a house wife, Dad's an engineer, and their two lovely children are students. Okay, so their Spanish maid's a little nutty, but it's not until Dad brings home a lab rat for a pet that things really get out of hand.

Stray Cats follows' the parallel love lives of Marta, a mid
dle-aged advertising executive, and her gay friend and duplex kaser? (landlord), Boyet. Both are waiting for the men who they believe will fulfill their hopes and dreams, Boyet writes romance novels inspired by Marta's idiosyncratic anxieties about Steve, her noncommittal boyfriend. Hqping that Steve will eventually ask her to settle down, Marta is quietly envious of Boyet's "family" -his adopted son, Jojo, a 15-year-old pickpocket, and Dom, his fi nancially dependent lover. Willing to play the stereotypical roles of woman and gay man, Marta and Boy� embrace their hopeful fantasies. All these hopes turn out to be illusions, how ever, and as they mature they decide to take matters into their own hands. What happens next is inevitable but unsettli ng, resu lting in a del ightfu lly painful yet heartwarming film. After working for several years in a dying film in dustry, director Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil decided that if the cinema of her country was to survive, a bold and creative change was needed. Stray Cats is a daring, innovative comic-romance fantasy, a parody that depicts love, sex, romance and loneliness in a way never before seen in Philippine cinema.

Water Drops on Burning Rocks pays tribute to one' of fi l m ' s greatest auteurs, Rainer Werner Fa ssbind er. French director Frangois Ozon brings to the screen for the first ti me a perverse study in sexual game-playing that Fassbinder wrote at age 19 and left unproduced -perhaps because the young boy 's story he told was too much like his own. That story, of a blooming romance between busi nessman Leopold and na'lve, considerably you nger Franz, is directed much like a middle-period Fassbinder work. Ozon confines the action to Leopold's apartment (a faithfully recreated '70s German residence) and lets the camera unblinkingly record the action head-on. As cracks appear i n the harmonious fagade of Leopold a n d Fra nz's relation s h i p , the two begi n to manipUlate and spy on each other. The tension mounts further when their two ex-girlfri ends a ppear on the scene. A few more surprises pop up a long the way,

Playful, subversive and scintillating, Whispering Moon is a visually stu nning new film like nothing ,you've seen before, blending media, narratives and skin to tell an enticing story about storytelling. Jannis and his mute lover, Patrick, are a pair of young techno rebels living in the not- so-distant future, in a world of conspiracy theories and paranoia. They set up surveillance cameras at a circus that may or may not be raising poisonous frogs to kill politicians. Might the frog conspiracy involve Mo, a young woman who lives with the circus and suffers from xeroderma pigmentosis, which forces her to live by night and avoid all ultraviolet light? The delights of Whispering Moon are in how the story is told. The fi l m blends traditional film, digital video, computer graphics and animation, allowing the main character to stop the action and make changes to the story at will. A cavalcade of images pours forth, pulling the story in fascinating new directions. (Sharp eyed viewers w i l l spot a Fra m e l i n e poster in one scene!) While the film is tantalizingly sexy (who knew the recipe for yogurt could be so hot?), it makes us think about the nature of stories and why we need to share them. As one character comments, "Everyone wants to be deceived." - COREY EUBANKS

" How long does this rite of passage thing last?" com plains Emerson, the home-schooled adolescent son of hippie parents living in Nova Scotia. Sensitive young Emerson faces a whole n ew thing when he mu st attend the local public school to boost his lagging math skills. Uilfortunately, he's more used to smoking pot and relaxing nude in the sauna with his parents and their friends than the company of other teens. Emerson's new life at school isn't the only whole new thing in his life; he also develops a wild crush on Mr. Grant (Daniel Maclvor), his literature teacher. Ever the professional, Mr. Grant maintains a healthy dis tance from his precocious student, getting his own ful fillment from trysts in a park restroom. But Emerson pushes things too far when he lures Mr. Grant to his family home and a visit to the sauna. Where are Emer son's cool parents? Too caught up in their own whole.
From the d irector of The Pink Mirror (Frameline27) comes this intoxicating iqueer journey through India. Ravi is a young I ndian man l iving i n England who impulsively heads to an a l-night gay party in an Indian village, dragging his British friend Paul along. , Fueled by erotic pe �ormances, flirting and sex, Ravi connects at the party with Mani, a closeted work ing-class guy. Rooming a the very gay-friendly hotel belonging to Murthy and Anna, an older gay couple who I have been together for mpre than thirty years, Ravi decides to stay for a few d�ys to pursue what may be i the love of his life, but the consequences of their hedoI nistic night catch up with them. With bursts of surreal , images and scenes, Ravi tries to reconnect with Mani, but the situation becomes rocky when his slutty friend Paul flaunts his own careless hook-up with Mani.

Anna to gu ide him. They share their stories of defying trad ition, loving agai nst a l l odds and being true to oneself. Invigorated by his time with the couple, Ravi meets Mani once again to see if their fates may indeed be intertwined. In addition to the colorful and bizarre situations the camera lingers lovingly over the queer Indian malE body and exalts its sexuality. With a consistently surrea look, Yours Emotionally feels like a beautiful feve' dream inspired by both avant-gar e gay cinema and th£ tropes of Bollywood.

cisco? Bruce and Paul, already fathers of a little girl , are looking to have their second child through a surrogate. Jennifer has two children from a previous marriage but wants to experience pregnancy alongside her new part ner, Jenna. Beyond Conception follows these couples as they embark on a carefu lly designed journey that ends up being full of suspense and surprises. Director Johnny Symons (Daddy and Papa) ga ins remarkable access into the lives of his subjects, from
Dakota lad to East Village AIDS activist spans the mid '70s to the present. This emotionally complex portrait, crafted from journal entries, drawings and home movies, encompasses the exquisitely personal and the blatantly political, veering from poem to polemic in a heartbeat. Part 1 is a delicate reminiscence of Wentzy's first decade in New York. The lanky M idwesterner aspired to be an artist, but was too busy supporting himself as a da rkroom tec hnician to m a ke m u c h hea dway. His notebooks reveal a gift for insight, a dry wit and a ten dency toward self-deprecation. Wentzy was d i agnosed with H IV in 1990 a n d joi ned ACT-Up, a n d those two events gave his life defi nition and pu rpose. He documented the community's response, and Part 2 showcases his footage of rall ies

Shot over a period of three years in San Fran cisco, The Believers focuses on 15 core members of the choir as they learn to sing professionally. Their i nti mate personal stories shed light on the complexity of balancing social change, fa mily history, religion and identity. At the heart of their dilemma is a struggle for acceptance withi n two worlds historically at odds with one another. As one of the fi lm's subjects eloquently says, "I'm living in a window. I get to see both sides." The Believers is a unique story of determination and perseverance and an important look at the intricacy and diversity of spirituality and the LGBT community. - JUSTIN KOLLING The Transcendence Gospel Choir will attend this screening.

the initial "audition" through the selection of an egg donor (different from the surrogate), the precise science of egg fertilization, the repeated attempts to successfully implant the fertilized eggs, the anxious wait for the news that Jennifer is indeed pregnant and the subsequent negotiations on who will be present at the birth and who gets to hold the baby first. It's a fascinating process that alternates between cutting-edge science, interpersonal negotiation and a whole lot of hope. A second thread of the film follows Jenna's simultaneous attempt to get pregnant through a sperm bank -a story with its own dreams and heartache. Beyond Conception is a m u st- see for a nyone looking to understand the practical, financial and emo tional components of the surrogacy process, but it's not simply an "issue" fi lm. It's a riveting document of the seismic sh ift in family planning happening right here in our own backyard. - K.M. SOEHNLEIN BEYOND CONCEPTION

Legendary New York perform ance artist Shelly Mars evokes the darker sides of human nature. Her cut-to the - q u ic k reenactm ents of h e r own l ife - stolen moments from childhood, adolescent angst and telling portrayals of her years as a sex worker -bring a multi tude of characters to· the stage. Whether playing Martin, the misogynist Wa ll Street ban ker, or sta rk-naked, drug-addled Shirley Remi ngton, Mars' gritty, dysfunc tional characters register a soulful, ironic believability. This intimate documentary by Phyllis Fam iglietti (making its West Coast premiere) opens with a back drop of half-dressed figures writhing behind curtains as Mars tells the audience, "There's going to be hard core sex tonight, it's not fake." Then and there, you've officially landed on Mars. After nearly two decades of exploring fiercely per sonal material that masterfu lly cloaks personal pai n with humor, Mars feels compelled t o ask why she i s drawn to such a frank storytelling style. Accompanied by her girlfriend, she returns to her childhood home in Ohio to confront her parents about memories that have shaped both her convictions and her art. True to her medium, this film, which combines clips of Mars' jou r ney home with stage performances and interviews, captures the a rtist's unflinching exa m i nation of the human body and mind with passion and honesty. -ERIN CULLERTON THE DARK MAnER OF MARS

Repressive postwar England was not the ideal place for a boy with an unbridled i magination to come of age. Nor was London in the '60s a warm and welcoming milieu for a gay man. Yet Derek Jarman wasn't bullied by his environment so much as inspired by it. Sure of his talent and energized by his outsider status, Jarman made bracingly original films that waged full-frontal war on conformity, narrow-m indedness and ugliness. Director Andy Kimpton-Nye eschews an exhaus tive analysis of Jarman's life and oeuvre (which could never fit into sixty minutes, anyway) to proffer a breezy survey of the director's childhood and a joyful appreci ation of his career. In lieu of Jarman's own words, we are treated to the witty and insightful reminiscences of collaborators including actors Tilda Swinton and Nigel Terry and producer James MacKay. Their droll recollections, a longside gli m pses of. such landmark Jarman fil m s as Sebastiane ( 1 976), Caravaggio ( 1986) and The Last of England ( 1987), comprise a vivid portrait of the artist as experimentalist and smiling provocateur. One of cinema's great radi cals, Jarman transmuted his sexual and political con cerns into fabulous art. His contribution was not limited . to the screen, however; Jarman made his AIDS diagnosis public in 1986, galvanizing Thatcher's England. The program will conclude with Jarman's 1984 short film, Imagining October.

A voyeur's d ream, this highly enterta ining and lively documentary profiles Alan B. Stone, a pioneer of beef cake photography. With his trusty Kodak Brownie, Stone began his care e r s hooti ng Boy Scouts (!) and then became immersed in the Montreal bodybuilding scene. From the basem ent of his tacky h.ouse in suburban Montrea l, Stone produced thousands of sexy i mages for mail order physique (read: gay) magazines during the 1950s and early '60s. "Don't Be a Si ssy, Get Strong and Manly!" one such publication screamed. These semi clandestine magazines were all about gay desire but had to disguise themselves as educational. The fi lm illustrates Stone's obsessive, unique eye for male phys ical form and beauty with a staggering array of both still and moving images. Beyond beefcake, Stone also produced gorgeous landscape photos of both the Canadian wilderness and the cos mopolitan glamour of his beloved Montreal . This unlikely cultural pioneer died i n 1 9 9 2 after a long battle with crippling arthritis. Eye on the Guy is a fas cinating and fitting tribute to his body of work.

From femme conferences to books, essays, studies and graduate theses, there's a fascination with the ide ntity of the qu eer femme woma n . Is the fe mme phenomenon a reaction to butch ness? A ca pitu lation to the patriarchy? The empowering ownership of a gender role by camping it Wp? A kind of female fem inine drag? Or are they just trying to look straight? Everyone seems to have an opinion, but these two documentaries both ma nage to look at the issues in a relevant, sexy and informative way that actually starts to shine some light on the subject. FtF: Female to Femme, di rected by Frameline vets Kami Chisholm and El izabeth Stark, takes a look at the femme identity that's both light-hearted and aca demic. Listening to folks like Guinivere Turner, Bitch (of Bitch + Animal) and Leslie Mah (of Tribe 8), we hear how various people came to their own brand of femme identity. As the di rectors explore the full range of femme - i ncluding tomboy fem me, retro femme, rockabilly femme, casual and high femme-it becomes clear that there's no one way for a femme to define herself. Like the poet sister to the academic, along comes Letters To Dol/y, a gorgeous collection of short films
linked by the narrator's letters to Dolly Parton, exploring how, through Dolly, she found herself, her femininity and her power. - CINDY M. EMCH dir Ha ley Ausserer 2004 USA 21 min video FtF: FEMALE TO FEMME dir Ka mi Chisholm & Elizabeth Stark 2006 USA 50 min video LEITERS TO DOLLY

The extremely private George Michael candidly talks about his life and career in this riveting documentary. Michael leads us through his professional and private highs and lows, from his h umble begi nnings in Hert fordshire, England, to pop fame with Wham! followed by solo superstardom and the zenith of his fame, to the lega l battles with his label and the i nfamous public toilet incident. Reun ited for their first on-camera i nterview i n twenty years, Michael and h i s Wha m ! partner Andrew Ridgeley discuss working together and the band's farewell concert. Moving on, George talks about going solo and becoming a bona fide pop icon with the hit a l bums Faith , Listen Without Prejudice, Older and Patience. Catapulted to stardom, George discusses the effect on his ego and the challenge of balancing his personal and professional lives. He talks openly about, his Brazi lian boyfriend, Anselmo, and the tragic end to their i ncredible relationsh i p when Anselmo died of AI DS. One of Michael's most poignant confessions involves his performance at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, even as Anselmo was dying. Featuring performa nce footage a nd interviews , i n c l u d i ng Elton J o h n , M a ri a h Carey, Sti ng a nd Boy George, George Michael: A Different Story paints an inti mate, intriguing portrait of its fascinating subject.

An ex-Exod u s counselor tal ks about her days as a straightened-out Christian on the evangelical circuit. An activist gay minister describes his career as Jerry Falwell's ghostwriter. "The only reason I didn't kill myself," a college counselor admits, " i s that I kept thinking what a terrible experience it would be for the freshmen." The subjects of this com pel ling documen tary recount their attempts to forge an identity as both gay and Christian in a society that, too often, sees the terms as contradictory. Through interviews with pr�cticing gay Christians, d i rector Lua n e Beck and prod ucer Kim Clark (both Christians themselves) delve into the ways gay Chris tians resolve these contradictions, and cover familiar issues i n the gay vs. Christia n debate from a nove l perspective -as mem bers of both communities. What is a gay Christian's take on the "gay agenda" a nd the b i blical basis for conservative Christia n ity ' s a nti homosexual stance? While the documentary's subjects a re comm itted to their faith, the film is frank about the painful costs that can result from believing in a faith that rejects you, while b�longing to a community that regards your faith with suspicion. In the end, God & Gays serves as an affirmation that the gay community and the Christian community are not mutually exclusive, and offers hope that even conservative Christians can learn to accept their gay brothers and sisters.

Mary Jordan's invigorating documen tary is as peripatetic, curious and obsessive as its sub ject, brimming with lush film clips and blunt interviews and held together by Smith's plaintive voice. This is the inspiri ng saga of a pure artist who would proceed with a scheduled seven-hour solo performance despite a completely empty house. Atlantis, the name Smith gave to the world that sprang from h is extraordinary imagination, ultimately suffered the fate of all utopias, but it represented a place beyond the reach of the forces of compromise. "It's really not normal to want to collect art," Smith believed, "because that's missing the point of art." This i nva l u a b l e fi l m doesn't j ust convey the breadth of Smith's remarkable talent but gives us a direct experi ence of art for art's sake.

"Their ap petite for life was riva l ed only by t h e i r appetite for whiskey." S o begins this crisply shot docu mentary-mockumentary mash-up, which takes you on tour with Kiki and Herb, the "musically challenged," politically incorrect cabaret act born in San Francisco in the early '90s. Kiki OuRane (Justin Bond) is an ageless and tact less ch anteuse who covers everyth ing from "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" with a voice that's part torch beauty and part punk anarchy, accompanied on keyboards by "gay Jew retard" Herb (Kenny Mellman). But the music i s only part of the appeal. It's the stories of Kiki's life-her childhood in an "institutional" for orphans; her failed stint as a 1950s housewife, culminating with a Stepford Kiki stabbing her husband with a steak knife; the drowning of her daugh ter, Coco, in Monaco -that bring out the tragicomedy and social commentary at the heart of this act. Amidst live footage and backstage banter, a host of q ueer luminaries weigh in - the Scissor Sisters, Erasure's Andy Bel l, Rufus Wai nwright (who claims that Kiki looted his Vicodin supply), and gossip maven Michael Musto, who says of the duo's appea l : "God gave them a lemon, but they're not making lemonade. They ' re just gonna keep serving you that same old lemon. " A politically radical act for troubling times, their message is s u m med in Kiki's snarli ng motto: "Don't get too comfortable."

Those poor Repu b l i c a n s ! H aven't they s u ffered enough? Bush's poll numbers at the freezing mark, Tom Delay defunct, looming scandals, failed efforts to criminalize the gays and now this: men, dressed as women, doing a sing-song spoof of Republicanism in a concert film like you've never seen before. The Kinsey Sicks are a "dragapella" quartet called "the hottest ticket in town" by the New York Times. Now their hilarious satire of all thi ngs Republican is captured in one uproarious movie. The premise: four " proper" ladies are holding a Republican fund raiser. With a rumored appearance by W, the ladies are in high spirits. Singing songs and swapping stories, the gals seek to explain just why the Republicans are so darn nifty and offer some com pel ling reasons to come out as Republican. As one . number puts it: "Lower taxes are God's plan. Global warming helps my tan. Give a gun to every man to pro tect us from non-Aryans. When you know you're better than those non-Americans, there's no need to join the Klan, just become Republican!" While we count the days until W goes back to Texas, this film offers a gut-wrenching distraction. Taking on jingoism, family values, war-fetishizing and corruption, the Kinsey Sicks joyfully-and harmoniously-delight in kicking the GOP while they're down. Join in the fun!

Before the '80s, the majority of mothers coming out as lesbians after a divorce had their children taken away from them. It didn't matter if they came from an abusive relationship, and even a simple accusation of lesbian ism could turn the court against them. These atrocious custody battles inspired the Lesbian Mothers National Defense Fund (LMNDF) and other lesbian rights organi zations in the '70s, which became the cornerstone of the lesbian rights movement today.

In this powerful, heartfelt documentary, we meet the residents of Juchitan, Mexico, a queer paradise with a thriving mix of drags queens, transsexuals, gays and straights. Muxes traces the experience of the indigenous queer men living here, working to maintain their pride and heritage as both homosexual men and Zapotec Indi ans. In a culture known for machismo, the muxes play a unique role, sometimes providing sexual guidance to "straight young men" who want to gain experience before they go on to "practice" on women. Taking an honest look at the benefits and challenges of living in their community, these men talk about the homophobia and rejection they have faced from relatives and the larger society, the hardships of losing loved ones ' to AIDS, limited employment options and the prevalence of prostitution in the gay community. Yet they still find tremendous love and support in Juchitan from both the straight and gay community, proving that in some places the bonds of society don't have a sexual preference. Director Alejandra Islas creates an affectionate ,portrait of the inhabitants of a place that has been get ting more attention in recent years from the documen tary world, but is still little known to most people north of the border. - CHARLOITE GUTIERREZ

Identified as male on his birth certificate, by age two Alex was reassigned as a girl through the first in a series of invasive surgeries. Raised under constant scrutiny by doctors, the child called Alexandra grew up in a small Austrian village as the only girl to wear XXL. As a young adult, Alex has come to realize his innate masculinity. ' In this deeply personal documentary, co-created with director and radio host Elisabeth Scharang (Alex came out as an activist on her show in 2002), Alex explores his own history and his feelings about being intersex. Alex is followed on camera while he recalls the nuisances of childhood and adolescence, the nagging desire to become a man, struggles with cancer and the enduring embarrassment of a genital region that Alex dubs a n "octopus alarm." (Various post-surgical techniques were used to open the vaginal walls during Alex's "puberty.") Along the way, Alex befriends other intersex people for the first time, decides to live life as a man, meets transgender men who buoy his confidence and finally begins to love the body he was born into. Shot in cinema verite style, the documentary is an unflinchingly honest exploration of one incredible indi vidual's life as he chooses to turn personal pain into triumph on a journey that takes him from the mud flats of Holland to the bright lights of San Francisco. - ERIN CULLERTON
