February
3-10, 2012
A FREE SERIES OF QUEER AFFIRMING, EMPOWERING FILMS AND EVENTS.
Friday Feb. 3 at 8PM
I CAN’T THINK STRAIGHT
Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin, prepares
for an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters a timid
Leyla, a young British Indian woman. Tala comes from a spirited Christian family; whereas Leyla’s strong Muslim upbringing could not be more
different from each other but the attraction is immediate and soon both women
reveal their feelings for each other. Directed by Shamim Sarif.
Saturday, Feb. 4 at 8PM
THE IRON LADIES
Humor and fierceness abound in The Iron Ladies, a comedy that tells the
true story of a Thai male volleyball team that competes in the national
championships with a team consisting mostly of gays, transvestites and
transsexuals. Directed
by Youngyooth Thongkonthun.
Friday, Feb. 10 at 8PM
UNDERTOW
Undertow is an award-winning, extraordinary
Peruvian drama that's part Brokeback
Mountain, part Ghost. On the beautiful Peruvian coastline, a
married fisherman expecting his first son struggles to reconcile his devotion
to his male lover, a handsome painter. Through a series of events he’s forced
to deal with the consequences of their actions and accept who he really is,
even at the risk of losing the people that he loves. Directed
by Javier Fuentes-León.
Saturday Feb. 11 at 8PM
EL CALENTITO
Presided over by motherly
transsexual Antonia, Madrid’s El Calentito is a hot
spot for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, straights and “try-anything” sexuals in the politically conservative climate of the
Franco regime. The pansexual vibe and punk rock bands appeal to virginal but
rebellious teenager Sara set to perform with a band, but the 1981 uprising
occurs causing a thrilling night of wild, uninhibited celebrations explode.
Director Chus Gutierrez calls upon her own
experiences in a girl band during La movida Madrileña for this engaging exploration of the other side
of Transition.
