Psycho
Beach Party
It's 1962 and Chicklet Forrest is desperate to join the in-crowd of Malibu
beach surfers. She's the typical American girl - except for one small
problem: her personality is split in more slices than a pepperoni pizza!
Based on the hit play by Charles Busch (who also wrote the screenplay and
stars as Captain Monica Stark), Psycho Beach Party is a party-mix of 50's
psychological thrillers, 60's beach movies, and 70's slasher films.

Mob Queen
It's the Brooklyn Docks, 1957. Small-time mobsters George and Dip need a birthday gift for the local Don. At the last minute, they arrange a date with
Glorice, the sexy new prostitute in town. They're ecstatic when the boss falls for the ballsy gal
- but Glorice has a few surprises up her sleeve!
Mob Queen is a tongue-in-cheek love story that satirizes the Mafia genre while embracing it at the same time.

Licensed
to Kill
Showing at OutArt with a special presentation
by award-winning director Arthur
Dong, this documentary takes a riveting journey into the minds of men whose contempt for homosexuals led them to murder.
An uncompromising investigation into the roots of anti-gay violence, the film examines the social, political and cultural environments of these men and questions whether society had given them a "license to kill" homosexuals.

The Night Larry Kramer
Kissed Me
In nine interconnected scenes, this filmed interpretation of David Drake's acclaimed play charts a course through the depths and shallows of the urban gay male experience.
From the late-night club crawl to the buff-bunny gyms, from the threat of anti-gay violence to the place where condemnation, compromise, and closets are a thing of the past - The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me exposes the sexual, spiritual, and political yearnings at the heart of gay America.

The Wolves of Kromer
Narrated by Boy George, this modern-day fairy tale uses wolves (played by young attractive actors in raggedy jeans and long fur coats) to explore issues of homophobia and homosexuality.
Set in the fictional English town of Kromer, the gossipy villagers dislike the local wolf population. They keep their doors locked and their rifles cocked - worrying that their children will grow up vulpine.
When two of the wolves fall in love, the villagers turn on them, first framing them for a local murder, then trying to hunt them down.
"A simple, pointed parable executed with considerable élan" - Variety.

Lost
in the Pershing Point Hotel
This black comedy screen adaptation of Leslie Jordan's award-winning,
off-Broadway play gives a quirky, funny and touching insider view of three
mismatched runaways, in search of their own identities, who ride the razor's
edge and misbehave as entertainingly as possible.
They romp uproariously from
one "high" to the next at the center of Atlanta Georgia's
Glam-rock underground drug scene in the mid 1970's. Along the way, life
itself brings them face to face with love and death, with a bit of spiritual
transformation thrown in for good measure.

Boys

"knight in shining armor" with whom they can make a home. They are the "Gypsy Boys" of San Francisco's gay bar and club scene.

But
I'm A Cheerleader
Confident and opinionated, 17-year-old Megan is far too strong-willed
for her unsupportive parents, who begin to worry she is a lesbian. Their
solution is to send Megan to 'True Directions,' a "rehabilitation
camp" run by homophobic counselor Mary Brown. Soon Megan meets the
equally defiant Graham, and the two form a fast friendship. Ironically,
the more time Megan spends at the camp, the more she begins to question
just how fixed her sexuality really is.
Stars Natasha Lyonne, RuPaul
Charles, Cathy Moriarty, Mink Stole, and Bud Cort.
