32 PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE Dir: Jonathan Lee, 2011, USA, 89 min. Lesser known today than his more celebrated counter culture contemporaries, Paul Goodman is mostly remembered for his book Growing Up Absurd (1960), which gave voice to a generation of young people and helped define a New Left. He was an openly bisexual philosopher, poet, essayist, and pacifist whose work was essential to the emerging gay movement of the early 1970s. Privately, he lived his life with equal devotion to a wife and family he cherished. Using a wealth of archival footage and interviews with family, friends, and scholars this film is a moving tribute to Goodman’s writings and legacy, and a thoughtful exam of his unapologetic lifestyle. MONDAY | July 11 | 5:00pm | Sunset DOcS @ 5 WE WERE HERE Dir: David weissman & Bill weber, 2010, USA, 90 min. Director David Weissman (THE COCKETTES) returns to Outfest with this moving chronicle of the earliest years of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. The film breaks new ground by shedding light on the people behind the statistics, telling the moving, personal stories of five individuals who experienced the impact AIDS had on the city and witnessed the LGBT community coming together in response. Elegiac but inspirational, WE WERE HERE, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, bears witness to the experiences of those who died - and, equally importantly, those who lived.

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

As a high-profile artist in one of the most visible and conservative industries, country music star Chely Wright risked her entire career by publicly revealing her homosexuality last summer. No one - not even Chely - knew if the fans that helped build her career would stick by her or turn against her. WISH ME AWAY is a candid, insightful, all-access look at how she came to this decision after decades of denial, and the at-times surprising and heartbreaking reactions she received. Her story of strength and determination will inspire and encourage anyone who has ever experienced fear and doubt in their quest to become their authentic self.

Halfway around the world in Makassar, Indonesia, a community of transwomen called the “Waria” - Wanita (Woman) + Pria (Man) - has long been an accepted part of the cultural fabric. However, because physical transition is frowned upon in the world’s most populous Muslim nation, they are forced to walk between worlds. In this inspiring documentary, we see how four of these women manage to do that with their heads held high. API PRIDE PRE-RECEPtIOn: REDCAt LOBBy SUNDAY | July 10 | 8:00pm | REDCAT WITH YOU Dir: Scott Gracheff, 2011, USA, 90 min. As the10th anniversary of 9/11 nears, Scott Gracheff’s documentary is a timely tribute to one of the gay heroes of that day - Mark Bingham. We know the story of Mark’s heroism on flight United 93, and we know about the international Bingham Cup rugby tournament that honors him, but this film introduces us to the man behind the legend. Featuring extensive interviews with Bingham's mother, friends, family and classmates, the film gives us a richer view of Bingham, from his teen metal-head period to his rambunctious college years through coming out and embracing the world with enthusiasm before his tragic demise.
