FILM INFO:
Thursday, May 15: Butch Jamie, a women's comedy.
This quirky, gender-bending comedy features an out-of-work
lesbian actor willing to try anything for a role. Dressing up as
"Femme Jamie" for auditions, struggling actress Jamie Klein
(writer/director Michelle Ehlen) continually faces rejection as
she fails to be a typical leading lady. So, Jamie decides to
take a different approach and audition as herself: "Butch
Jamie." This ends up landing her a part as a man, and despite
the offense that she takes in being offered a male role, she
accepts. Jamie's bitterness quickly subsides as she starts to
have fun as her male alter-ego. The plot thickens as Jamie
unintentionally peaks the interests of Jill, a sexy yet straight
woman on set. [2007, Runtime: 84 min., Not rated, but
recommended for mature audiences]
Friday, May 16: The Godfather of Disco. Based on
Mel Cheren's powerful autobiography, My Life and the Paradise
Garage: Keep On Dancin', this documentary is a trip down memory
lane for fans of '70s-era dance music. Through a series of
interviews with a who's who of the dance music community, The
Godfather of Disco uses the arc of Mel's life to examine the
early 70's musical and cultural currents that gave birth to
disco, the rise of the famous nightclub Paradise Garage, and the
onslaught of HIV/AIDS and it's terrible impact on New York City.
The film follows Mel's activist years as he harnesses the power
of music to fight AIDS via his charity work for Gay Men'sHealth
Crisis and 24hrs for Life/LifeBEAT. Through it all, Mel has been
there, done that, lived to tell the tale and continues to do so
today. [2007, Runtime: 84 min., Not rated, but recommended for
mature audiences]
Saturday, May 17: This Kiss. This lesbian drama
focuses on Lucy and Juliet, who were inseparable best friends
whose lives took very different paths after high school. Ten
years later, Juliet turns up unannounced at Lucy's front door on
the day of their high school reunion. The two women barely
recognize each other, and spend a long, alcohol-soaked afternoon
struggling to reconnect. Before they can repair their
friendship, however, they must confront the heartbreaking event
that tore them apart. Can the bitterness of 10 years be erased
by a simple admission of the women's attraction to each other?
[2007, Runtime: 65 min., Not rated, but recommended for mature
audiences] |
