2010 Frameline Film Festival Picks!
FILED UNDER: "LGBTQ Politics"
TAGS: FramelineLGBT CinemaSan Francisco
By Trevor

This year will be my fifth Frameline Film Festival! I just can't believe it. In the previous years, I've seen dozens of amazing queer films that change my life on a regular basis. Seriously, many of them are incredible! Each year I try to best my previous year's record of number of screenings attended, and this year is no different -- I've schedule 17 screenings at Frameline34. Seriously! I'm that addicted. I send around my schedule of films to friends each year, poking them until they buy tickets and join me. I decided this year to post my selections here on this blog to encourage you to come out and see some great gay cinema. Hope to see you there! Check out my picks, after the jump!

4:00 PM - 5:45 PM
ELVIS & MADONA
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=1967&fid=47

Butch Elvis is a photographer by day and delivers pizzas by night. Madona is a working-class transwoman, a cabaret performer with ambition to burn. One fateful evening, Elvis delivers a pizza to Madona, only to discover her in distress -- she's just been robbed and beaten by her former lover, João. The two slowly turn up the heat on an ongoing flirtation while Elvis works to establish her photography career and Madona rallies her friends at the beauty salon where she works to raise money for her big cabaret show. Perfect for a movie date, this lively romp about two starcrossed genderqueer lovers was a huge hit at Closing Night for the Melbourne Queer Film Festival.

6:45 PM - 8:25 PM
I KILLED MY MOTHER
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2047&fid=47

Hubert Minel is a typical teenager in almost every sense: he is narcissistic, has mediocre grades, experiments with drugs, is defining himself sexually, and he hates his mother. With his home life in shambles, Hubert finds solace at his boyfriend's house and in the company of an understanding teacher. But, when Hubert is unwittingly outed to his mother, their already-strained relationship hits a breaking point. I Killed My Mother is a complex drama about how relationships constantly regress, change and grow, and how easy it is to get lost along the way.

BEYOND GAY: THE POLITICS OF PRIDE
Victoria Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=1911&fid=47

Protest, parade, political action or celebration: what is Pride? President of Vancouver Pride and parade organizer Ken Coolen knows what it means to him. But at the 2007 InterPride Conference in Zurich, Switzerland, he meets delegates from countries where a Pride event is a forbidden fantasy. Take Sri Lanka, one of eighty countries that still criminalizes homosexuality. There, rape is used to "cure" lesbianism. Or a man seeking asylum from what has been called the most homophobic nation in the world: Jamaica. Thirteen of his friends have been murdered. In countries like these, Pride is less an occasion for partying than a daring act from which there is no turning back. Coolen travels to Warsaw, Poland, to take part in a tense march surrounded by antigay Catholics. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, he is overwhelmed by unruly crowds and alcohol consumption. This rousing, often joyous documentary asks us to take a moment of silence from our celebration to "remember, you are not walking for yourselves but for the millions of people around the world who can't.

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
WE WERE HERE: VOICES FROM THE AIDS YEARS IN SAN FRANCISCO
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2050&fid=47

Filmmakers David Weissman and Bill Weber co-directed the 2001 documentary, The Cockettes, chronicling San Francisco's legendary theater troupe of hippies and drag queens, 1969-1972. We Were Here revisits San Francisco a decade later, as its flourishing gay community is hit with an unimaginable disaster. The first film to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival of AIDS, We Were Here focuses on a small number of interviewees, all of whom lived in San Francisco before the epidemic hit. The stories they tell are not only intensely personal, but also address the much larger political and sexual complexities of that era. Immediately following the screening and Q & A of We Were Here, Shanti will host a community forum at the MCC of San Francisco, 150 Eureka Street, for people to discuss thoughts and reactions raised by the film.

4:15 PM - 5:30 PM
GENERATIONS: YOUTH AND ELDERS MAKING MOVIES
Roxie Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2135&fid=47

Come and celebrate youth and elders in this engaging program of shorts, including films from this year's Frameline Generations filmmaking workshops. First we'll see Always My Son, a touching documentary on the transformation of one gay son's self-described macho dad. HIV-positive youth tell us how to stay safe in HIV: Hey, It's Viral. A mother and son find a moment of beauty in Benji & Mitzi, while a Galileo High School graduate comes out in Everybody Knows "Bam Bam" (or do they). Sex Ed and Jobalicous are two films from the LGBTQ youth of LYRIC. Youth and elders have been working together from script to screen to bring you intergenerational LGBT voices from the Frameline Generations Workshop. Three films from the workshop include a television parody about being summoned to the Gay People's Court. In a short about a 1950s housewife, she discovers her husband is gay and starts taking it out on the vegetables. And in our final film, an elder steps in to help a youth who is being bullied.

11:00 AM - 12:40 PM
DZI CROQUETTES
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=1964&fid=47

Dzi Croquettes tells the tale of the rise and fall of Brazil's theater group that revolutionized queer performance art in the context of the political, social and cultural climate of Brazil in the 1970s. This colorful documentary uncovers the livelihood of Dzi Croquettes, a Brazilian drag troupe loosely based on San Francisco's The Cockettes. In order to assert the merits of individualism, nonconformity and the arts, the fully sequined, all-male cabaret Dzi Croquettes formed in the early 1970s in Brazil as a response to the military dictatorship's violence and censorship. The group of thirteen stage performers embodied masculinity and femininity in ways that had never before been seen; they were not female impersonators yet refused to call themselves men, and this sexual ambiguity quickly earned the adoration of men and women, gay and straight.

4:00 PM - 5:20 PM
OFF WORLD
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2070&fid=47

Off World is a haunting and poignant tale of one man's search for his true identity. Lucky (Marc Abaya), a young Toronto man adopted from the Philippines at an early age, returns to Smokey Mountain, a notorious Manlia slum. It is aptly named for the methane gasses that leak continuously in the 12-story pile of trash and garbage. The way of life there is scavenging for plastic and other saleable refuse to make a few pesos each day and to scour the rotting garbage as one of the only sources for food. Lucky is a shell of a man, empty, hoping to fill the void by finding his brother who was left behind. His only contact is a woman, Julia (Che Ramos), who introduces Lucky to his long lost sibling, Mamacita (Lao Rodriguez), an effeminate gay hustler who turns tricks to survive. Keeping his connection a secret, Lucky stays with his brother while wandering through the squalor of Smokey Mountain, only to sink deeper into his own desolation.

7:00 PM - 8:35 PM
THE LAST SUMMER OF LA BOYITA
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2079&fid=47

The lush countryside of Argentina sets the tone for this tender tale of the summer when childhood is left behind. Jorgelina opts to head off to her father's ranch to spend the summer swimming and horseback riding. Lonely for a playmate, she desperately shadows the withdrawn young ranch hand Mario who has little time for her childish pursuits. The summer wears on, and the two become close. Jorgelina acts as an older sister to Mario, fiercely protecting him against the taunts of more aggressive ranch-hands and educating him on the physical changes of adolescence. After consulting Jorgelina's father's medical texts, Mario confides that his body doesn't look like the picture of either the man or the woman. Mario and his parents must confront something they can no longer deny.

9:30 PM - 11:00 PM
BROTHERHOOD
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2048&fid=47

Lars and Jimmy wrestle with their conflicting desires in this provocative, award-winning Danish drama about xenophobia and neo-Nazi subculture. Ambitious Lars quits the army after being denied a promotion and accused of making drunken advances toward soldiers under his command. Directionless, Lars is recruited by the leader of a local neo-Nazi group, who sees potential in the disillusioned young man. Desperate for camaraderie, Lars is quickly seduced by the group, brushing aside his discomfort with their violent tendencies. Group member Jimmy has doubts about this mysterious new recruit but cannot deny his obvious curiosity. Director Nicolo Donato's impressive feature film debut avoids clichés by refusing to define its characters as black-and-white stereotypes or to fetishize skinhead culture. The film features rock-solid performances, especially from Thure Lindhardt (Ron Howard's Angels & Demons), who plays Lars with spellbinding depth.

1:15 PM - 2:25 PM
SEX IN AN EPIDEMIC
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2034&fid=47

Sex in an Epidemic is the story of the safer sex movement in the United States, with a clear and vivid history of the epidemic and the community's response to halt the spread of the misunderstood disease. Through interviews with many of the leaders who championed safer sex, it's evident that saving lives depended on two vital questions: How could they get gay men to change their behavior, even if it curtailed the sexual freedom they'd fought so hard for? And how could they retain their sexual identities in the face of a frightening and deadly epidemic? To tackle the over-whelming cultural stigmas around sexuality in the social and political establishment turned out to be the biggest barrier in defeating the disease. Sex in an Epidemic is a profound look at the mobilization that started the ongoing effort to save lives. Preceding the feature is Last Address, a simple, touching reflection on the many wonderful artists we've lost to the disease.

7:00 PM - 8:40 PM
UNDERTOW
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2049&fid=47

Miguel and Mariela are a happily married couple, well-respected in their small seaside fishing village and looking forward to the imminent arrival of their first child. Miguel genuinely adores his devoted wife, yet also carries on a clandestine affair with handsome drifter Santiago, a painter of sensual nudes who is euphemistically referred to as "Prince Charming" by the village gossips. Santiago yearns to celebrate his love openly, while Miguel insists on secrecy for fear of jeopardizing his domestic bliss. As the story takes an otherworldly turn, rumors force Mariela to question her husband's sexuality, and Miguel must accept his dual nature. Stunning views of Peru's Cabo Blanco coast provide an appropriately stormy backdrop to the tempestuous emotions of the three protagonists. This Sundance award-winner enchants with unforgettable seascapes, and director Javier Fuentes-León eschews melodrama to present a transcendent romance in his remarkably assured feature debut. With moving performances by some of Latin America's star actors, Undertow makes it easy to get swept away.

9:45 PM - 11:25 PM
BABY JANE?
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=1937&fid=47

This drag-studded recreation of the 1962 classic What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? drops us back into the depths of sisterly detestation. Baby Jane has seen better days, but her paralyzed sister Blanche is still oh-so-perfect. The two has-been movie stars have turned into recluses with axes to grind -- literally -- over their sordid pasts. Baby Jane, still clinging to her glory days as a vaudeville legend turned screen actress, now finds contentment through daily drinking binges and cruelty towards her sister. Through classically black and white cinematography, the film and cast (starring Matthew Martin and J. Conrad Frank, with original music by Ejector) pay fitting homage to not only a couple of drag's leading ladies but to a cluster of Hollywood films. Locals will recognize San Francisco drag legend Ethel Merman, along with crowd favorite Heklina, in a turn as a maddeningly absent-minded neighbor that would short-list her for Best Supporting Actress (if we had anything to say about it).

9:30 PM - 10:50 PM
THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM
Victoria Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=1970&fid=47

Andrew Blubaugh's affair with an older man left long-lasting marks on his life and relationships. Now a filmmaker, Blubaugh tries to make sense of that relationship by juxtaposing art and real life -- with fascinating results. A truly "meta" look at a tale of a teenaged boy and his older lover, The Adults In The Room is no ordinary narrative. Interspersed with a superbly-acted story that is based on his real-life relationship fifteen years ago, we also see a documentary about the filmmaker's process of making the film. As we watch the tale of a sexual relationship between a young Andy and a man twice his age unfold, the filmmaker uncovers feelings of unfinished business as he unearths deep insecurities and discovers past hurts long submerged. In this bravely unvarnished look at his past, Blubaugh brings his story to life through his actors while taking the audience through the creative process taking place when an artist mines his past for material.


Thursday, June 24th

11:00 AM - 12:40 PM
DEEP RED
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2148&fid=47

In Deep Red, from Israel, Gur and Yuval will stop at nothing to make enough money for a fresh start in Berlin. But as they approach their goal, their tension grows until an unexpected event causes Gur to question their plan. For one Small-Time Revolutionary, Margaret Thatcher's controversial 1988 legislation banning promotion of sexual minorities in local councils pushes him too far. He's helping prepare for a protest, but first he has some unfinished business to deal with -- namely, his Thatcherite mom and his stamp-collecting father. A Brit's twenty-first birthday turns topsy-turvy when his best mate tries to draw him out of the closet with the help of two drag queens and two high-class hookers in Gently. In Animal Drill, a son must prove his manhood to his father by trying out for a high school basketball team. Despite pressure from his washed-up father and the intense tactics of his coach, he fights through many kinds of pain to affirm his true self. My Name is Love is the gut-wrenching story of discovery for a young man whose first flirtation with a guy soon turns into a dangerous liaison

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
SAYS WHO? GENDER VARIANT REPRESENTATIONS IN MEDIA
PANEL DISCUSSION - FREE!
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/events/reserve.aspx?id=3818&fid=47

A critical look at recent and historical screen representations of transgender and gender variant people, this panel will ask pressing questions about cultural perceptions, media-based activism and community accountability. Whose voices are heard often and whose are misunderstood? How do diverse communities - queer, trans or otherwise - understand gender variant identities? How do positive or negative representations impact LGBT rights movements and individuals' lives? Who gets to decide what images "count" as fair or authentic? What are constructive ways of responding to hurtful or inaccurate media portrayals? Join a lively panel of filmmakers, academics and community members for this rich and timely conversation.

4:30 PM - 5:45 PM
ALL BOYS
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2078&fid=47

Gay male pornography has never been as polarizing as its straight counter-part, perhaps due to the absence of an overt power struggle between the sexes. But All Boys explores some questionable elements of gay porn during its boom in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The film focuses on an American, Dan Komar, who moved to Prague to cash in on this growing industry, and examines the lives of several boys who live with him and work for him. Some of his actors are straight and attracted to the work because of the financial benefits. Some, like Ruda, are products of a troubled past. Ruda is world-weary for his 22-years, battling drugs and alcohol and turning tricks to survive -- he's a long way from the fresh-faced boys of Bel Ami (a casting director says that once the boys turn 20, they are considered over the hill by the industry.) Poignant without being didactic, All Boys is a probing look at the pitfalls and politics of gay porn.

9:30 PM - 10:45 PM
TRANSTASTIC
Victoria Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2136&fid=47

This collection of trans-themed shorts provides tantalizing tastes of exuberance, loss, love, wit and charm. Fagette is a transfabulous Sunday in the park, complete with croquet gone gay, drag cheerleaders and synchronized dance, all in an Astroturf wonderland. Laura lives a quiet life in the country, but this Señorita can't seem to shake off the lure of the big city. A consummate actress, she leads a double life, but as her lies begin to unravel, will she be able to keep her worlds separate? Everyday to Stay is a gritty and vulnerable glimpse at the lives of two couples as they navigate love, identity and commitment through one partner's transition. When her best friend dies, Fidelia plans a funeral to pay homage to her friend's life as woman in Remember Me in Red. But when her friend's parents arrive unexpectedly from Mexico and arrange to bury her as a man instead, Fidelia must find a way to honor what would have been her friend's wishes before it's too late. A picture-perfect heterosexual marriage is revealed to be a little more queerly complicated in the slyly comedic T4-2. Greg worries about gaining weight, but Chris has worked so hard to be happy with himself that he doesn't want to worry about what he eats in the latest installment of Falling in Love... with Chris and Greg.


Friday, June 25th

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
SEX ON FILM: EDUCATING WITH THE MOVING PICTURE
Panel Discussion - FREE!
Ninth Street Independent Film Center (145 9th Street - Btw Mission and Howard)

http://www.frameline.org/festival/events/reserve.aspx?id=3858&fid=47

When educators struggle with difficult topics, including sexual issues, film and video can come to the rescue! Learn how to provide context to those issues and make the resulting discussion meaningful, relevant and enjoyable. Educators and filmmakers will provide ideas for incorporating film into lessons, including using film as a concrete springboard for discussion on challenging topics. Short films designed for this purpose will be screened, and teaching strategies for fruitful discussions will be presented.

4:00 PM - 5:35 PM
WORLDLY AFFAIRS
Castro Theatre

http://www.frameline.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=2139&fid=47

Frameline presents our annual selection of strikingly beautiful short films about gay men and boys from around the world. In Transatlantic, two couples on opposite sides of the Atlantic share a mysterious connection. From Canada, The Armoire, director Jamie Travis' resounding finale to his Saddest Children in the World trilogy, is a comedy, mystery and melodrama based on a game of Hide and Seek gone bizarrely awry. An incredibly hot man in the UK walks the line between carnal sex and human closeness in Inflatable Swamp. From Mexico, Lines is the story of two men who decide to share their music, realizing that there are some styles that are difficult to mix. Wei Long and Daniel broke up a few weeks ago, but Daniel asks Wei Long to meet him once more in Swing. In Just Friends? the answer to the titular question turns out to be pretty clear -- this tender Korean love story of two young men in the military who only want to be together is sweet affirmation at its best.
