DOCS @ 5<br />
Like a great story? The Outfest documentary lineup has plenty of them, and we have a special<br />
offer for you this year - five amazing documentaries at 5 p.m. for only $5 each in Sunset 5<br />
(okay, one of them is in the DGA)…truly a bargain!<br />
25 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TEDDY AWARD<br />
Revisit - or see for the first time - classic films that won prestigious Teddy Awards, the<br />
influential queer film award given for the last quarter-century at the Berlin International Film<br />
Festival. We’re thrilled that Wieland Speck, one of the founders of the Teddy Award and<br />
director of the Berlin Panorama section will be on hand to introduce the screenings.<br />
CODEPENDENT?<br />
Well, so are the ladies in CODEPENDENT LESBIAN SPACE ALIEN SEEKS SAME. Written<br />
and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Madeleine Olnek (Outfest 2008 Grand Jury Award<br />
winner for Outstanding Short Film COUNTERTRANSFERENCE), this is one of the funniest<br />
movies of the year. A film for men, women and E.T.s alike.<br />
PLATINUM<br />
It’s the 10th anniversary of Platinum, where film, art and performance meet. The debauchery<br />
of Platinum Oasis at the Coral Sands Motel from 2001 will forever be a part of Outfest lore,<br />
and we invite you to bring a little bit of your own style to our events at REDCAT and our<br />
special party NIGHT MOVES to celebrate this milestone year.<br />
DOLLY<br />
We love a little (or a lot of) Ms. Parton over here at Outfest, and we know you do too. Watch<br />
twin brothers pursue their idol in HOLLYWOOD TO DOLLYWOOD, and sing your heart out to<br />

SHORTS<br />
They’re before features, they’re in programs and they’re stronger than ever this year. Treat<br />
yourself and discover new talent, exciting voices and people who have mastered the craft of<br />
short-film storytelling.<br />
THREE BEWILDERED PEOPLE IN THE NIGHT<br />
The Outfest Legacy Project and the Toronto International Film Festival joined forces to create<br />
an all-new digital remaster of the film that launched Gregg Araki’s career in 1987. Los<br />
Angeles looks a lot different than it did when he shot this (R.I.P. Ships), but the film holds its<br />
own even now.<br />
MUSIC NON-STOP<br />
Check out HIT SO HARD about former Hole drummer Patty Schemel (followed by a live<br />
performance by her awesome new band, Psychic Friend) and gorgeous country star Chely<br />
Wright’s story WISH ME AWAY. Rikki Beadle Blair (FIT) has a brand new drama, BASHMENT,<br />
set in the British hip-hop scene, and Sheldon Larry brings us a fabulous L.A.-based musical,<br />
LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR. And a real coup for us is a live performance at REDCAT by<br />
Genesis P-Orridge’s band Thee Majesty.<br />
HARMONY SANTANA<br />
Remember this name because you’ll be seeing her in many more films in the future. She’s<br />
heartbreaking, tough, and beautiful in our opening-night gala film, GUN HILL ROAD (her first<br />
acting role) and one sassy and flirty mama in EATING OUT: DRAMA CAMP.<br />
NOT TO BE MISSED!<br />
We love all the films in the festival, but we want to give you the inside track on a few films<br />
that might slip by you - ones that you won’t want to miss. Here goes: SHE MONKEYS; WE<br />
WERE HERE; OLD CATS; THE FAMILY COMPLETE; BOY CHEERLEADERS; HAPPY, HAPPY; THE<br />
WISE KIDS….<br />

GUN HILL ROAD<br />
Dir/Scr: Rashaad Ernesto Green, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 88 min.<br />
We are thrilled to open Outfest <strong>2011</strong> with GUN HILL ROAD, a powerful and moving family drama told with<br />
authenticity and honesty.<br />
After three years in prison, macho Enrique (Esai Morales) returns home to the Bronx and finds things changed.<br />
His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), is distant, and his teenage son, Michael, has come out as Vanessa, a<br />
transgender woman. Unable to accept his child for who she is now, Enrique clings to his masculine ideals while<br />
Angela attempts to hold the family together by fiercely protecting Vanessa. Still under the watchful eye of his<br />
parole officer, Enrique must become the father he needs to be or once again risk losing his family and freedom.<br />
The heart of GUN HILL ROAD lies in two places: the richly drawn character of Michael/Vanessa (newcomer<br />
Harmony Santana is unforgettable) and a father’s inability to escape the vicious cycle of his life. Writer/director<br />
Rashaad Ernesto Green’s first feature film is told with gentle humor, sensitivity and a deep understanding of the<br />
environment that defines its inhabitants.<br />
- Kim Yutani, Director of Programming<br />
Tickets: 213.480.7065 or www.outfest.org<br />
Rashaad Ernesto Green is a graduate of Dartmouth College and NYU Grad Film, recipient<br />
of the Princess Grace Foundation Award and Spike Lee Fellowship. The Bronx native was<br />
included on the latest edition of Filmmaker Magazine’s elite 25 New Faces of<br />
Independent Film list as well as indieWIRE’s 2009 Ten New Voices in Cinema. Rashaad’s<br />
first feature and thesis film GUN HILL ROAD premiered in the <strong>2011</strong> Sundance Film<br />
Festival U.S. Dramatic Competition, where it was picked up for distribution by Motion Film<br />
Group, and is slated to release this summer.<br />

15TH ANNUAL <strong>OUTFEST</strong> ACHIEVEMENT AWARD:<br />
FENTON BAILEY & RANDY BARBATO<br />
Few acts can balance mainstream popularity with cult status and maintain their independence, singular vision,<br />
and relevance – especially in the mood shifting LGBT landscape. For twenty years, Fenton Bailey’s and<br />
Randy Barbato’s World of Wonder global entertainment company has been producing ground breaking and<br />
landmark film, television, and web programming often reflecting lifestyles and subjects no one else is brave<br />
enough to approach. Their ambitious work has had a profound impact on LGBT audiences, and we’re proud to<br />
call them part of the Outfest family.<br />
Emerging from the ‘80s punk scene as disco-pop-rock duo The Fabulous Pop Tarts and NYU’s Graduate Film<br />
Program, the multi-media partnership between Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato morphed into World of<br />
Wonder in 1990. Their immediate success gave birth to an immense and diverse body of work including<br />
1997’s “The Real Ellen Story,” the 1998 Outfest award-winning “shockumentary” PARTY MONSTER; the<br />
wildly popular documentary THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE that opened Outfest in 2000; and “101 Rent Boys”<br />
also in 2000.<br />
In 2003, Randy and Fenton became the first filmmakers to twice open Outfest – this time with a scripted<br />
version of the “party monster” story (PARTY MONSTER). Over the years they have produced work for almost<br />
every US Cable Network, including six seasons of “Tori & Dean” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” now shooting its<br />
fourth season. They premiered their latest documentary film BECOMING CHAZ at this year’s Sundance Film<br />
Festival and in May the film was broadcast on OWN as the first film in the Oprah Winfrey Documentary Club.<br />
Randy and Fenton continue to expand their reach with everything from blogs to an art gallery and a coffee<br />
table book. WOW. WOW.<br />

CIRCUMSTANCE<br />
Dir/Scr: Maryam Keshavarz, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, Iran, Lebanon, 105 min.<br />
In a vibrant contemporary Tehran, two beautiful teenage girls struggle for their<br />
personal freedom. Atafeh and her best friend Shireen are full of youthful<br />
exuberance and a healthy streak of rebellion as they drink, smoke and go dancing<br />
at underground parties. When Atafeh’s brother Mehran returns from drug rehab,<br />
he embraces a new way of life and joins the Morality Police - much to the surprise<br />
of his affluent and liberal parents - and becomes increasingly obsessed with and<br />
involved in Atafeh and Shireen’s intimate relationship.<br />
Nikohl Boosheri (Atafeh), Sarah Kazemy (Shireen) and Reza Sixo Safai (Mehran)<br />
smolder on screen in their fearless and complex performances. A feast for the<br />
senses, CIRCUMSTANCE is the original vision of writer/director Maryam<br />
Keshavarz, whose first feature effort creates a stylish and sensual coming-of-age<br />
film, presenting a timely and important story of a new generation of women in Iran<br />
who dream of a place where they can be free.<br />
Winner of the Audience Award: Dramatic at the <strong>2011</strong> Sundance Film Festival.<br />
- Kim Yutani, Director of Programming<br />
Maryam Keshavarz’s first feature documentary,<br />
THE COLOR OF LOVE, an intimate portrait of the<br />
changing landscape of love and politics in Iran,<br />
won numerous awards at film festivals and was<br />
broadcast internationally. Her short THE DAY I DIED<br />
garnered accolades at the Mar del Plata<br />
International Film Festival, Clermont-Ferrand<br />
International Short Film Festival, and New York Film<br />
Festival, and it was the only short to win two<br />
awards - a Teddy Award and an honorable mention<br />
for the Jury Prize - at the Berlin International Film<br />

narrative feature.<br />

WEEKEND<br />
Dir/Scr: Andrew haigh, <strong>2011</strong>, UK, 96 min.<br />
British filmmaker Andrew Haigh, winner of Outfest 2009’s Artistic Achievement<br />
Award for his first feature, GREEK PETE, returns to the festival with his second<br />
feature - already an acclaimed award-winner itself. With the same intimacy and<br />
rare authenticity of his impressive debut, WEEKEND explores the relationship<br />
between two young gay men that evolves from a drunken one-night stand into a<br />
dynamic and complex portrait of modern gay romance over the course of a booze,<br />
drug and sex fueled weekend, building to a delicate emotional climax.<br />
The chemistry between coleads Tom Cullen and Chris New lights fire to a precise<br />
yet free-flowing script that allows them to playfully explore the dimensions and<br />
shifting moods of their characters. The film's natural rhythm utilizes the confines of<br />
its construct to explicitly and unapologetically express themes that transcend<br />
sexuality without ever denying it. WEEKEND advances the gay narrative - both<br />
filmic and socially - in ways that few films have.<br />

HIT SO HARD<br />
Dir: P. David Ebersole, Scr: P. David Ebersole & todd hughes, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 101<br />
min.<br />
Patty Schemel, the hard hitting drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band<br />
Hole, is not only a master of the sticks, but a true survivor. After growing up as<br />
an outsider near Seattle she shot to stardom in the early 90’s and was engulfed<br />
by the music scene. Patty casually documented her life as a rock star – at band<br />
practice, on the road, backstage and in front of millions of people. She captured<br />
rare, precious moments behind the scenes with Hole and Kurt Cobain and the<br />
intense highs and lows of these dynamic relationships often shaped by an<br />
addiction that consumed her and almost killed her.<br />
Director P. David Ebersole has masterfully woven Patty’s Hi8 videos with<br />
contemporary interviews of Patty, her band mates (including Love, Melissa Auf<br />
der Maur and Eric Erlandson), other musicians, and important figures in Patty’s<br />
life to craft a story that is as beautiful and inspirational as it is a significant<br />
cultural record.<br />

Dir/Scr: tom tykwer, 2010, Germany, subtitled, 119 min.<br />
In one of his most singular and stylish films, German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (RUN<br />
LOLA RUN) returns to Berlin for the setting of this seductive drama centered on an<br />
upscale middle-aged couple whose routine coexistence is upset when they<br />
separately encounter the same man and explore their sexual fluidity.<br />
Complementing an inventive narrative with a slick visual polish and dynamic<br />
soundtrack, Tykwer crafts a sophisticated film full of ideas and themes that range<br />
from erotic to darkly comic to cruel and fatalistic. Sophie Rois (Hanna) and<br />
Sebastian Schipper (Simon) deliver pitch-perfect performances as the married<br />
couple, and Devid Striesow brings a unique dimension to his role as their unwitting<br />
lover, Adam. When a complication threatens to expose their carefully guarded<br />
secrets, the resolution is both surprising and inevitable.<br />

THE PERFECT FAMILY<br />
Dir: Anne Renton, Scr: Claire V. Riley, Paula Goldberg, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 84 min.<br />
How far will one suburban housewife go to win the Outstanding Catholic of the<br />
Year Award? Dedicated churchgoer Eileen Cleary (Kathleen Turner, in a<br />
heartbreaking performance) will bend over backwards to portray her dysfunctional<br />
brood as the Catholic ideal, even though her son (Jason Ritter) has just left his<br />
wife for the woman he really loves, and Eileen’s daughter Shannon<br />
(Emily Deschanel) is about to marry her lesbian lover.<br />
In her feature film debut, filmmaker Anne Renton skillfully balances the dramatic<br />
tension with a humorous undertone centered on Eileen’s struggle to reconcile her<br />
faith and her goal of perfection with the reality of her life. A talented cast that<br />
also includes Angelique Cabral and Richard Chamberlain bolsters this<br />
unforgettable comedy-drama.<br />
-Alonso Duralde, Feature Film Programmer<br />
Anne Renton has studied extensively as an actor and<br />
voice-over artist, and has worked in both<br />
independent film and television. In 2007, Anne<br />

If Ron Athey, Miss Vaginal Davis, John Cooper<br />
and Shari Frilot had consummated their<br />

beautiful bastard child could’ve been called<br />
Platinum.<br />
Back in 1998, Vaginal Davis screened a series<br />

Shari Frilot. The reception was so delicious<br />
that it fueled Frilot’s desire to create a westcoast<br />

and live performance that attacked the<br />
boundaries of cinema.<br />
Three years later her vision was realized when<br />
she, Cooper, Athey and Davis curated the<br />
legendary, epic, infamous Platinum Oasis, an<br />
18 hour durational overnight arts fest with 40<br />
rooms of media, interactive and salon-style<br />
installations at the notorious Coral Sands<br />
Motel. It dropped the jaws of even the jaded.<br />
The event was repeated the following year and<br />
in 2003, the signature event featured Platinum<br />
SnapMeat (a collaboration between Frilot and<br />
digital media artist, Shu Lea Cheang) a<br />
futuristic sex trade scenario amidst a band of<br />
Mad Max lot lizards that rocked the historic<br />
Ambassador Hotel.<br />
In tandem with these immersive performative<br />
events, experimental programming has found its<br />
home in the Outfest program, and now Platinum<br />
has shacked up with the gorgeous REDCAT.<br />
Outlaws, renegades, art stars, trend-setters<br />
and underground smut have participated in<br />
Platinum through the years. Bruce LaBruce,<br />
Barbara Hammer, Hans Scheirl, Tom Chomont,<br />
Arthur Russell, Peter Berlin, Jenn Reeves,<br />
Penny Arcade, Catherine Opie, Juliana Snapper,<br />
among others… the list is longer than Carolee<br />
Schneemann’s scroll.
BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE<br />
Dir: Marie Losier, <strong>2011</strong>, france/USA, 75 min.<br />
BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE is a tender portrait of rebel performance artist and music pioneer<br />
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV) and her soul mate and collaborator, Lady Jaye.<br />
P-Orridge’s contributions to the industrial and underground music scene in the 1970s take backseat to the<br />
couple’s great love affair and daring gender and identity transformations they underwent for their Pandrogyne<br />
project, where the pair received surgical procedures to merge into a third pandrogynous being. Winner of the<br />
Teddy for Best Documentary at <strong>2011</strong> Berlinale.<br />

THEE MAJESTY<br />
PERFORMANCE<br />
Thee Majesty will play a full set of their ambient<br />
soundscapes with spoken word performed by radical<br />
pioneering musician and artist Genesis Breyer<br />
P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV). Genesis<br />
is the subject of the documentary THE BALLAD OF<br />
GENESIS AND LADY JAYE and will be joined by<br />
collaborators avant-garde guitarist Bryin Dall (Hirsute<br />
Pursuit, 4th Sign of the Apocalypse and A Murder of<br />
Angels) and percussionist Edley ODowd (Psychic TV<br />
and Toilet Boys). This rare performance promises to<br />
combine poetry of a transgender creation story, music<br />
improvisation and hypnotic loops with blistering noise<br />
into a disorienting lullaby that is not to be missed.<br />

COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER<br />
Dir: A.L. Steiner & A.K. Burns, 2010, USA, 69 min.<br />
COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER playfully meshes the<br />
erotics of a community of lovers, friends and<br />
collaborators where the personal is not only political,<br />
but sexual. This queer, trans and women-centered<br />
project is heavily inspired by seminal 1970s porn - yet<br />
the film demands that this representation not only be<br />
included but attacks the canon of pornography itself.<br />
CAC is set to a soundtrack of Chicks on Speed,<br />
Electrelane, K8 Hardy, Lesbians on Ecstasy, Light<br />
Asylum, Thee Majesty and MEN and includes original<br />
compositions by Justin Bond, Ashland Mines & Wu<br />
Tsang among others.<br />
PLATINUM SHOWCASE<br />
The renegades of queer film run wild in this showcase<br />
of experimental film. Chloe Sevigny is a red-eyed<br />
shapeshifter, Lexi Tronic resurfaces in Guy Maddin’s<br />
breathtaking tribute to FLAMING CREATURES, a<br />
catfight breaks out amidst Stepford-wives-mannequinish<br />
tranquility, a pair plays out a BDSM scene that<br />
promises to make you squirm, squeal or sick and<br />
really, who doesn’t love butch tits?<br />

L.A. ZOMBIE is a queer hardcore zombie splatter/gore<br />
porn movie made by renowned subversive director,<br />
Bruce LaBruce. An alien zombie beauty (international<br />
porn star and model Francois Sagat) trudges through<br />
Los Angeles stumbling upon dead men - a white collar<br />
criminal, a gangbanger, a homeless junkie, drugaddicted<br />
porn stars - and sublimely fucks them back<br />
to life. The film plunges deep, in more ways than one,<br />
past the superficial erotic thriller as LaBruce shows the<br />
zombie’s desire for intimacy as sincere and human.<br />

TWO BY RYAN TRECARTIN<br />
Ryan Trecartin emerged from the 2000s as an<br />
innovator of ecstatic new frontiers in art and cinema.<br />
SIBLING TOPICS and P.OPULAR S.KY are two<br />
selections from his recent seven-part work, Any Ever,<br />
produced in Miami with collaborator Lizzie Fitch. In<br />
SIBLING TOPICS, a set of quadruplet sisters played by<br />
Trecartin engage in a series of episodic adventures<br />
and “premises”-situations sold by identity-tourism<br />
agencies with predetermined tones, terms, and<br />
trajectories. P.OPULAR S.KY, functioning as a kind of<br />
B-side, submerges characters from SIBLING TOPICS<br />
into a shadow state of mental projection, weaving<br />
threads from the rest of Any Ever into versions of<br />
their finalities.<br />

Get ready for “one small thrill” after another as Outfest travels to the Lone Star state for one unforgettable night with Miss<br />
Mona and the girls! Dolly Parton stars as the proprietor of the most tuneful house of ill repute in musical comedy history, but<br />
not even her especially close relationship with local sheriff (Burt Reynolds) can save her business when a nosy TV reporter<br />
(Dom DeLuise) starts kicking up a fuss. Featuring great songs like “I Will Always Love You” and “Hard Candy Christmas,” this<br />
beloved musical promises a wild night of hootin’ and a-hollerin’.We can't say too much, but we wouldn't dare ask our<br />
audience to stay quiet when they see those lyrics onscreen!<br />

After growing up as an outsider near Seattle, Patty Schemel shot to stardom in the early 90s as the drummer of the seminal<br />
rock band Hole. Schemel captures the grunge music scene, Hole's skyrocketing popularity, and rampant drug abuse in neverbefore-seen<br />
home videos. This compelling tale of survival and triumph features intimate footage and exclusive interviews with<br />
Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Melissa Auf der Maur, Eric Erlandson, and other important figures in Patty's life.<br />
Patty and friends will be performing on stage at the J.A. Ford after the screening<br />

PRIVATE ROMEO<br />
Dir/Scr: Alan Brown, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 98 min.<br />
Romeo and Juliet has never been more provocative than in this contemporary all-boy staging. Writer/director Alan Brown<br />
transfers the setting from fair Verona to a high school military campus where a small group of boys from rival schools act out<br />
the tragedy in real life. This bold adaptation eschews convention and challenges common perceptions of masculinity, gay<br />
youth and the military. Anchored by solid performances, the film balances the tough dialogue, tender romance and unique<br />
setting with an erotic rhythm and a few surprising twists.<br />

Miss Margaret Cho is back, and she has a few things she’d like to share with you. From her hilarious recounting of her<br />
backstage feud with the Palins during “Dancing with the Stars” to musical interludes featuring Cho’s witty original songs, this<br />
new concert film from our favorite all-American girl will have you howling from beginning to end. (You’ll also never look at the<br />
“American Idol” contestants the same way again, but you’ll just have to hear Margaret explain that one.)<br />

How far will one suburban housewife go to win the Outstanding Catholic of the Year Award? Dedicated churchgoer Eileen<br />
Cleary (Kathleen Turner, in a heartbreaking performance) will bend over backwards to portray her dysfunctional brood as the<br />
Catholic ideal. In her feature film debut, filmmaker Anne Renton skillfully balances the dramatic tension with a humorous<br />
undertone bolstered by a talented cast including Jason Ritter, Emily Deschanel and Richard Chamberlain.<br />

AWARDS 25<br />
In 1987, Manfred Salzgeber and Wieland Speck gave souvenir teddy bears to Gus Van Sant and Pedro Almodovar at a<br />
gay bookstore in Berlin in recognition of their achievements in LGBT cinema. What began organically has grown into an<br />
institution: The Teddy Awards are the foremost international recognition that can be bestowed to an LGBT narrative,<br />
documentary and short film at the Berlin International Film Festival. The awards have boosted films in the marketplace,<br />
and the ceremony is a highlight of the Berlinale. Having served as president of this year's 25th anniversary jury, I found it<br />
both an honor and a serious responsibility to uphold. Whether presided over by Tilda Swinton or Javier Bardem, the Teddy<br />
is a glittering sui generis award that celebrates what we stand for.<br />

COMING OUT<br />
Dir: heiner Carow, Scr: wolfram witt, 1989, Germany, subtitled, 109 min.<br />
Shot in 1989, COMING OUT was the first narrative film from East Germany to deal openly with gay issues. Philipp, a closeted<br />
teacher is dating a woman, but when he finds himself in a gay bar, he meets and falls in love with a young man. Through this<br />
relationship he finds the courage to accept who he is entirely. Significantly, the film premiered in 1990 at the Berlin Film<br />
Festival, the same night that the Berlin Wall came down.<br />

Brodie). Sexy, funny and full of inside jokes, GO FISH remains a classic.<br />

One of the most creative, provocative and prolific filmmakers alive today, Pedro Almodóvar’s canon of films represents one of<br />
the greatest bodies of work in film history. This film portrays a love triangle between a gay film director; his transgender sister<br />
and actress (Carmen Maura), and a murderously obsessive stalker (Antonio Banderas). Coming a year before his international<br />
sensation WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, Almodóvar has said that LAW OF DESIRE “is the key film in<br />
my life and career.”<br />

The man who drove with Mandela was Cecil Williams, an acclaimed gay white theatre director living in South Africa who<br />
assisted with the inception of the black anti-apartheid movement. From Greta Schiller, director of the acclaimed<br />
documentaries PARIS WAS A WOMAN and BEFORE STONEWALL, this remarkable documentary relates Williams’ story while<br />
skillfully drawing parallels between the plight of South African blacks and the dilemma of a gay man of conscience living in a<br />
society that prohibits expression of his identity and core beliefs.<br />

THE NIGHT WATCH<br />
Dir: Richard Laxton, Scr: Paula Milne & Sarah<br />
waters, <strong>2011</strong>, UK, 90 min.<br />
The highly anticipated BBC film adaptation of Sarah<br />
Waters’ novel, THE NIGHT WATCH doesn’t<br />
disappoint, with all the mystery, betrayal and hunger<br />
you would expect from the author of Fingersmith<br />
and Tipping the Velvet. It’s an intimate character<br />
study of five Londoners in the 1940s, as their<br />
intertwining secrets and desires reflect the precious<br />
humanity and havoc of the war that serves as their<br />
backdrop. A hauntingly beautiful story, this poignant film<br />
burns with a sensual flame.<br />

Winner of the <strong>2011</strong> Tribeca Film Festival Grand Jury<br />

movie and deepens the exploration of girlhood<br />
desire. Set in the world of female equestrian<br />
acrobatics, the competition gets hot when 15-yearold<br />
Emma is assigned to train with the older, selfconfident<br />
Cassandra. The frienemies immediately<br />
ignite a psychological battle, cruelly pushing each<br />
other's boundaries of strength, sexuality, and overall<br />
control in this coming of age story that's both<br />
innovative and provocative.<br />

unique issues in a country that finally overturned its<br />

PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED<br />
MY LIFE<br />
Dir: Jonathan Lee, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 89 min.<br />
Lesser known today than his more celebrated counter<br />
culture contemporaries, Paul Goodman is mostly<br />
remembered for his book Growing Up Absurd (1960),<br />
which gave voice to a generation of young people and<br />
helped define a New Left. He was an openly bisexual<br />
philosopher, poet, essayist, and pacifist whose work<br />
was essential to the emerging gay movement of the<br />
early 1970s. Privately, he lived his life with equal<br />
devotion to a wife and family he cherished. Using a<br />
wealth of archival footage and interviews with family,<br />
friends, and scholars this film is a moving tribute to<br />
Goodman’s writings and legacy, and a thoughtful<br />
exam of his unapologetic lifestyle.<br />

AIDS had on the city and witnessed the LGBT<br />

Dir: Matthew Bate, <strong>2011</strong>, Australia, 90 min.<br />
In 1987, Eddie and Mitch, two young punks from<br />
the Midwest, moved into a terrible San Francisco<br />
apartment. Through paper-thin walls, they were<br />
introduced to their middle-aged alcoholic neighbors,<br />
Raymond, a raging homophobe, and Peter, a<br />
flamboyant gay man. Compelled by Ray’s and<br />
Peter’s barrage of vitriolic diatribes, Eddie and Mitch<br />
made audio recordings to document their neighbors’<br />
bizarre relationship. SHUT UP LITTLE MAN tells their<br />
story as a darkly comedic exploration into the blurred<br />
boundaries among privacy, art and exploitation.<br />

she came to this decision after decades of denial,<br />
and the at-times surprising and heartbreaking<br />
reactions she received. Her story of strength and<br />

Masterson & Colin higgins, 1982, USA, 114 min.<br />
Get ready for “one small thrill” after another as Outfest<br />
travels to the Lone Star state for one unforgettable<br />
night with Miss Mona and the girls! Dolly Parton stars<br />
as the proprietor of the most tuneful house of ill repute<br />
in musical comedy history, but not even her especially<br />
close relationship with local sheriff (Burt Reynolds) can<br />
save her business when a nosy TV reporter (Dom<br />
DeLuise) starts kicking up a fuss. Featuring great<br />
songs like “I Will Always Love You” and “Hard Candy<br />
Christmas,” this beloved musical promises a wild night<br />
of hootin’ and a-hollerin’. We can't say too much, but<br />
we wouldn't dare ask our audience to stay quiet when<br />
they see those lyrics onscreen!<br />
