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.

 

Saturday, October 14th - 1 p.m.

Mob Queen
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.

Just One TimeJust One Time
A comedy about happiness, trust, and sexual identity that lays out the consequences of what happens when a young couple attempts to turn fantasy into reality.

Anthony, an average red-blooded New York City fireman, is on the verge of marrying his lovely fiancée Amy - but he has a nagging sexual fantasy he wants to satisfy before taking his vows. When Amy turns the tables on her future husband's desires, they both discover that living a fantasy, even just one time, may be one time too many.

Features indie-favorite Guillermo Diaz.

 

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.

 

Sunday, October 15th - 4:30 p.m.

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
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.

 

Sunday, October 15th - 9:30 p.m.

Beefcake
Beefcake Part documentary, part fictional re-creation, Beefcake explores the world behind the 1950's muscle magazines and the rise and fall of Bob Mizer.

Featuring interviews with the fans and models of Mizer's popular magazine Physique Pictorial, the film rediscovers a forgotten and important part of gay history.

 

Late Bloomers
Late BloomersA high school secretary wrongly suspects a geometry teacher of having an affair with her husband, then ends up having a passionate romance with her. Once the affair becomes public, their lives are turned upside down by a suburban community not willing to accept them.

"Sharp, funny ... a refreshing treatment of gayness." - Barbara Shulgasser, San Francisco Examiner.

 

Monday, October 16th - 7 p.m.

Gypsy Boys
Gypsy BoysGYPSY BOYS is a wittily observed insider's journey through the swirl of alcohol, sex, heartbreak and hope that is the San Francisco gay nightlife.

During one eventful weekend in the City, a disparate group of gay boys cruise, bitch, and try desperately to fall in love - some forever, some just for the night.

They are strays and outsiders banding together to create a place to call their own, each of them searching for that ever-elusive "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.

 

Monday, October 16th - 9 p.m.

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.
