Hats Off
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
USA, 2008, 84 minutes, video
Directed by Jyll Johnstone
 
2pm Gateway Cinema
 
With the style and grace of Katharine Hepburn, the smoky wit and wisdom of Dorothy Parker, and her own personal philosophy, "rise above it," 93-year-old actress Mimi Weddell is truly an iconic American original.

Hats Off captures the essence of this most unusual woman, named at age 90 by New York Magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in New York," whose full-time acting career began at age 65 upon the passing of her husband, and her daily routine mocks the traditional image of old age.

Shot over the course of 10 years, by critically-acclaimed, award-winning director Jyll Johnstone, Hats Off covers a time span when most seniors are planning their funerals and
estate bequests. Instead, Hats Off follows the breathtaking pace of Weddell, a bohemian free spirit from grueling 14-hour days at cattle call auditions to her weekly gymnastics and dance workouts.

Mimi is forced to share her east side Manhattan apartment with her two more traditionally-minded grown children and a grandchild. Like most families, their relationship is complex and adds a fascinating layer of depth to an already compelling and entertaining film that will have a unique appeal to queer audiences.

 

Give Me Your Hand

France, 2008, 80 minutes, 35mm
Directed by Pascal-Alex Vincent
In French with English Subtitles
South Florida Premier
 
2:30pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
Vincent Antoine and Quentin are gorgeous18-year-old twins who live with their father and work as bakers in a bucolic French village. When their estranged mother dies in Spain, they set off to attend the funeral, without telling their father.

The journey turns out to be more difficult than either had anticipated and a rift threatens to split the brothers apart. The brothers must struggle to accept each
 
other as individuals, and to find their places in an uncertain world.

An official selection of the prestigious New Director/New Films series of New Yorks Lincoln Center this film has minimal dialogue, beautiful cinematography, and well-crafted animated beginning. Filmmaker Pascal-Alex creates a beautiful and powerful film that lingers on the mind.

 

Make The Yuletide Gay

USA, 2009, 89 minutes, video
Directed by Rob Williams
 
 
5pm Gateway Cinema
 
Rob Williams, the director of Long-Term Relationship, Back Soon and 3-Day Weekend, brings us a hilarious addition to the gay holiday genre.

The holidays get overly festive as the adorable Olaf "Gunn" Gunnunderson an out-and-proud gay college student, crawls back into the closet to survive the holidays with his parents, the perennially stoned Sven and the reindeer- festooned Anya. Gunn keeps his cool as his quirky Midwestern hale and hearty mom tries to set him up with his high school sweetheart, Abby. But when his boyfriend, Nathan finds himself alone in his family's New York City penthouse, he decides to surprise Gunn with a visit. `

With Nathan showing up unannounced, Gunn must put on a charade to keep the relationship and his homosexuality a secret. Relegated to "roommate" status, Nathan good-naturedly goes along with the ruse - for a bit. With pressure mounting from all sides, will Gunn come out before the truth does?

Come and see this hilarious film with your community as we get into the holiday spirit.

 

The Art of Being Straight

USA, 2008, 71 minutes, video
Directed by Jesse Rosen
 
 
5:15pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
Smart, handsome, twenty-three-year-old Jon has just moved to Los Angeles from New York, ostensibly "taking a break" from his longtime girlfriend. Jon moves in with college bro Andy , whose pals incessantly banter "That is so gay" which is essentially harmless -- unless you're the only gay guy in the room.

Jon is hardly comfortable discussing his shifting Kinsey scale placement, his new job as bottom-rung gofer at a major ad agency is fraught with sexual tension as his studly boss barrages him with thinly veiled come-ons.

Infamous as a womanizer, Jon is more surprised than anyone when he ultimately falls for his boss' seductive charms, which send him spiraling into a world of sexual confusion Jon's
situation is much like the one his lesbian friend encounters during a brief romance with a man. 

Ultimately, each of the friends discovers that acceptance in modern American society is not as difficult as they thought and learn that social mores no longer dictate who we are and that each decision we make has a direct affect on our identity.

 

Redwoods

USA, 2009, 82 minutes, video
Directed by David Lewis
South Florida Premier
 
7pm Gateway Cinema
 
Set amidst the romantic splendor of Northern California's Russian River, Redwoods tells the story of an unshakable love-and the difficult choices it can force one to make.

Everett and Miles are in a comfortably platonic relationship void of any passion that is held together by raising their learning disabled son in a small Northern California town. When his family travels out of town, introverted Everett finally has time to himself-that is until Chase,
a strikingly handsome writer, pulls up in front of his house.

Shot amidst ancient redwoods and breathtaking California vistas, David Lewis' film is both original and incredibly romantic. A refreshingly honest film that takes viewers through an incredibly emotional journey of the heart. Beautifully acted and superbly written, Redwoods is a stunning ode to the power of love that will stay with you long after the final flicker.

 

I Can't Think Straight
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
UK, 2008, 82 minutes, 35mm
Directed by Shamim Sarif
South Florida Premier
 
7pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
I Can't Think Straight is an entertaining, lighthearted romantic comedy from South African director Shamim Sarif. This sweet story is about two young women from different cultures, Tala of Indian origins, the other Leyla, a Palestinian (who is about to get married), who meet and fall in love.

Some of you will immediately recognize the stunning lead actresses Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth from the film The World Unseen. ?Tala is serially engaged to one man after another. To their relief, Tala's parents believe that she has finally settled on one man. To mark the occassion the parents embark on preparations to throw a wedding extravaganza like no other.

In the mean time Tala meets Leyla, who is dating her best friend. The two are polar opposites. Leyla is the shy and clumsy type, who longs to be a writer. Tala is provocative and rebellious. As Leyla comes out of her shell and Tala's caviler attitude melts, the two women realize that they were meant for each other. The problem is that the once independent and aloof Tala suddenly gets cold feet.

She turns out to be more invested in tradition and the opinion of other people than she thought.

Leyla on the other hand asserts her independence and comes to terms with her sexuality. Watch the film to see how things turn out, as I Can't Think Straight, with its universal cultural themes and its witty dialogue, promises to delight.
