S . and ot��r countries acceSSible to communities across America. • AIDS AWARENESS: Last year, the distribution program launched another project: the AIDS Film Project National Tour . Presented in conjunction with the Names Project Quilt Tour, this two-hou.r film program gave over forty communi­ ties the opportun!ty to see five ��cellent films that deal With the AIDS crisIs and its effect on gays, heterosexuals, and. minorities . In Septem ber 1989 Framell ne will present the U . S. tour of POLICING THE BEDROOM, a package of new British shorts dealing with laws of desire and sexual representation .

SALUT VICTOR!

THERESE AND ISABELLE

Canada, 1988

France, 1966 In this film based on the novel "La Batarde" by Violette Leduc, Therese returns to the scene of her sexual awakening. She remembers her desola­ tion after being sent away to a boarding school by her adored but newly married mother, and meeting Isabelle, a class­ mate, quite adjusted and unconcerned that her parents have left her at the school . An immediate and intense friend­ ship develops between the adolescent girls. Their intensity leads to hurried caresses in the school chapel, in the bathroom, and ultimately to a brothel that the sophisticated Isabelle knows. Leduc's whispered poetic imagery of the "secret pearl" is narrated during the love scenes conjuring images the screen does not reveal .

World Theatrical Premiere A Benefit for the Frameline Completion/Subtitling Fund In SALUT VICTOR! Canadian filmmaker Anne Claire Poirier has created an intimate chamber piece around two older gay men whos� diverge�t. life exper.iences could never have anticipated their late-in-life frien.dshlp . For Phl!lppe, a qUiet, distinguished gentleman, old age means frail health, loneliness . and loss of freedom. Resigned to the infirmities of age, he moves to a comfortably slt�ated h�m� for the elderly; there, amidst anonymous surroundings, he prepares t? Sit ou� his final years, waiting for the end. This solitary vigil is almost Immed�a.te!y disrupted by another resident-Victor, a handsome lion of a man whose SPirit IS undaunt�d by a withering of the flesh . For him, the wheelchai: li�erates.' the mal.e nurses delight, and an occasional surreptitious nip of cognac revitalizes . HIs gregarious, often irreverent, familiarity initially ruffles Philippe's dig.nified .reserve. Yet gr.a�ually he warms to Victor's generous charm and a tender friendship evolyes, . �evlvlng laughter, dreams, and secrets confided. Based on Edward 0 . . Phillips �ook, " Matthew and Chauncy," SALUT VICTOR! draws a sensitive and revealing por!ralt of . friendship. While infused with a sense of humor and fantasy,. thls slmply-t�ld tale IS all the more poignant for the realities it address�s-the. physlcal �nd emotl�nal . effects of age, the euphoria of past loves, the P�1n of difficult c�olces, lon.ellnes�, . and ultimately, loss. As played by Jacques Godin and Jean-LouIs Roux, friendship IS cherished as much for its mystery as for its delight! -Laura Thielen

NELLY TOONS

THE LONG WEEKEND

A look at animated sissies Introduced by Vito Russo Animated films have always followed the real life conventions of live action movies. We have only to compare the earliest gay characters on the screen with their cartoon counterparts to see that the cultural assumptions which form the basis for sissy characters is the same in both art forms. The sissy versus the bully was a plot device used over and over again in the early films of Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks"and Eddie Cantor. This same plot structure can be seen today on Saturday afternoon televis.ion for c � ild­ reno In animated films, as In early live action films, homosexuality is not pres­ ented as a form of sexuality but simply indicated as a type of behavior. There­ fore, the "gay" characters in cartoons are identified as such by so-called effeminate manners and, more often, by cross-dressing. This is particularly evi­ dent in Warner Brothers' Bugs Bunny cartoons in which Bugs is constantly in drag and marries EI mer Fudd o� ��re than one occasion. Whenever sIssified characters turned up in the world of macho men, in films featuring cowboys or pirates for example, they are almost always the butt of cruel humor or of . specific physical violence . Just as with live action films, the sissy in cartoons was ghettoized and labelled as the outsider in every situation. What remains true today is that the so-called "gay" character,s in cartoons wer� often the only saving grace about bad films and the funniest characters in the good ones.

(o'despair)

San Francisco Premiere USA, 1989 The grainiest gay movie of the year is . also the funniest. After his love-or-Ioath first feature THREE BEWILDERED PEOPLE IN THE NIGHT, director-writer-producer Gregg Araki looks bound to win over everyone with THE LONG WEEKEND . For openers, there's double the dr�ma an. d humor: his new film follows SIX Bewil­ dered People, but it's a breezier adven­ ture. College friends Michael, Rachel and Sara-and their bemused lovers-team up again five years later for one long holiday weekend. Over thr�e days they change their ideas and their partners even faster than L.A. nightclubs change names. It's twent ysometh ing set by the . light of a shopping mall; where a.11 the characters are too doped up or simply. can't stop talking. If anyone can �et Wit or meaning out of them, it's A�akl. THE LONG WEEKEND is what gay cinema ought to be-droll, detached and undetermined. Note: THE LONG WEEKEND also chaper­ ones this year's Major Theme in Gay- . Male movies: bisexual melancholy. This is about modern youngsters who can't decide whether they crave relationships with the same sex, the opposite sex, or with their complete collection of The Smiths singles. None of WEEKEND's protagonists know what they want, bu. t if Frameline installed armrest electronic pollsters, we would be sure to tell th�m.

. PANEL Lesbian/Gay Sensibility­ More Than Sex? The parameters within which . lesbian/gay cinema has been defined have always been somewhat vague. Many different factors can and have been used by critics, festiv�ls, and . audiences in defining what IS a lesbian or gay film. Many works easily fall into the category; those dealing wit.h lesbian/gay relationships, lesblan/9ay rights issues, and lesbian/gay erotica. But what about factors other than who a character has sex with and issues that directly relate to the lesbian/gay com­ munity? What importance does the se.xu­ ality of the director or the oth�r creative persons involved with the project have in determining the "sexuality" . of the film. How valid is it for a lesbian/gay film festival to show a film about a lesbian relationship directed by a hetero­ sexual man? Does the sexuality of experimental filmmakers �ake"t heir. " often abstract works "gay or lesbla�? Can a feminist film directed by a lesbian director also be considered a "lesbian" film? This panel will explore thes� . questions and more with the participa­ tion of audience members and the film directors, programmers and critics attending the Festival.

AN EMPTY BED

SEX CHANGE AND CROSS-DRESSING IN THE EARLY SILENT FILM

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITHOUT DEATH

USA, 1988

West Coast Premiere

AN EMPTY BED is a day in the life of Bill Frayn�, a gay m.an in. his mid-60's living alone In Greenwich Village. During the course of this typical day, he encounters people, objects and places which stir and revive memories from his..past . Told I?rgely through flashbacks, the film is a time tapestry where past and present weave together to form a poignant and graceful picture of one man's life. Director /Writer: Mark Gasper Producers: Mark Gasper, Victoria Larimore Photography: Oren Rudavsky Editor: Gloria Whittemore Cast: John Wylie, Mark Clifford Smith, Conan McCarty, Dorothy Stinnette 16mm, 56 minutes

BEYOND GRAVITY New Zealand, 1988

US Premiere

Richard is a reserved, thoughtful lab technician with an obsessive interest in astronomy-he fantasizes about the de­ �truction of the Earth by the sun . Johnny I� so eccentric and unpredictably roman­ tiC that he seems to have come from another planet . This may be why they are drawn to each other in BEYOND GRAVITY, the off-beat, charming story of the chaotic love that develops between these mismatched young New Z�alanders . While Richard initially finds Johnny's relentless pursuit disruptive and unappealing (he has recently broken up with a lover and says he's not ready for a new romance), the dark, hand­ some, Italian proves impossible for Richard to resist.

Frustrated by her fiance's affairs with hotel maids, a New York heiress pops one of t�e magic seeds that change women Into men, and men into women . But, after shaving "her" morning must­ ache, she forgets vengeance under new­ found pleasure in embracing other women at the Ft . Lauderdale resort. Such is the fi rst of many sexual rever­ sals in the astonishing A FLORIDA ENCHANTMENT from 1914, the first full yea.r O! U.S. feature-length filmmaking. While .ltS ca.mera style is simple, its way of tOYing with gender-specific body gestures �emains amazingly witty seventy-five years later. This hour-long feature is followed by two shorts from the same era . LILLIAN'S DILEMMA. also produced by the Vitagraph Studios in 1914, is a sort of proto-screwball comedy of cross-dressing-the dilemma arising from Lillian's disguise as a man to infiltrate her brother's school and the loss of her woman's dress to a curious schoolboy. In ALGIE THE MINER, a 1912 one-reeler from pioneer producer Alice Guy-Blache, a . young man (Billy Quirk dOing something of a limp-wristed "nance" routine) is obliged to prove machismo to his prospective father-in­ I?w . Off to the West he goes, learning first that one does not than k gunslingers by kissing them.

West Germany, 1980 A documentary film showing life in one of Hamburg's homes for seniors . Over the course of six months Elfi Mikesch interviewed and filmed the inhabitants' concentra�ing on a female couple who are spending the rest of their lives together in a close and inti mate relation­ ship. Elfi Mikesch has made over ten films including co-directing SEDUCTION: THE CRUEL WOMAN. She has recently completed her latest film, MOROKIAN and is working with Monika Treut on a new documentary on contemporary female film directors. Mikesch is also r�garded as one of the world's leading cinematographers, having photographed feature films for Monika Treut (THE VIRGIN MACHINE), Rosa von Praunheim (HORROR VACUI, A VIRUS KNOWS NO MORALS, ANITA-DANCE OF VICES) and Werner Schroeter (THE ROSEKING).

SUMMER VACATION: 1999

Special Festival Broadcast On Channel 251San Francisco Viacom Cable

FUN DOWN THERE

San Francisco Permiere Japan, 1988 One of the most visually exciting films in recent memory, SUMMER VACATION: 1999 features a hypnotizing narrative that is both deceptively simple and full of unexplainable mystery . Set in a boys school in a remote, beautiful area of Japan, SUMMER VACATION tells the story of fou r teenage students who spend their summer vacation at school-unsupervised and untouched by the outside world . As the story begins, Yu has decided to take his own life-he is in love with the exquisitely beautiful Kazuhike, who is also loved by another of the boys, Naeto. Kazuhike ignores Yu's love letters and the depressed Yu decides to jump from a cliff into a tranquil lake at the school's edge. Just as the shock of the suicide begins to subside, in walks a new student who looks and sounds exactly like the dead boy, Yu . SUMMER VACATION: 1999 looks at teenage homosexual love with a refresh足 ing and compassionate honesty. These four boys may be suffering terribly as they try to understand the power of their newly discovered romantic emotions, but they are victims of their passions and not their sexuality. To underscore his interest in the mystery of sexual attraction, director Shusuke Kaneko has cast girls to play the parts of all four boys, later dubbing their voices with those of four young actors. -Paul Bol/winkel

Frameline Presents

WHERE THERE WAS SILENCE Great Britain, 1988 When Basil Dearden's VICTIM was released in Britain in 1961, it had an enormous impact on the lives of gay men in Great Britain. Starring Dirk Bogarde as a middle-class barrister who confronts his own homosexuality, Dearden's film was the first mainstream British film to offer gay men credible representations of themselves and their situations . In WHERE THERE WAS SILENCE five gay men, all portrayed by a single actor, recall the film and how it effected their lives . Inter-cut with extracts from VICTIM, these recollections vividly highlight what life was like for British gay men before homosexuality was decriminalized in 1967. As one of them comments "In those days, to even discuss a film like VICTIM would have made me nervous and scared that the finger would be pointed and that I would be held to ridicule." Ending with refer足 ence to Clause 28 of the recent Local Government Bill, WHERE THERE WAS SILENCE also goes on to question the future of gay and lesbian representation on film and video . Director: Stephen Bourne 3/4" video, 20 minutes

Presenting recent videotapes of interest to the lesbian/gay community, 'Frameline Presents" is a half-hour weekly lesbian/gay video program broadcast every Monday at 8:30pm on San Francisco Viacom Cable Channel 25.

USA, 1988 West Coast Premiere Roger Stigliano's first feature is a fresh, comic coming-of-age drama about Buddy, a young man from upstate New York, who' arrives in New York City and falls into love affairs with two men at the same time. The film follows Buddy over the course of a week: from home where, anxious to leave, he quarrels with his sister, to New York City, where he meets Joe, and then Angelo. Joe and Angelo .initiate Buddy into sex and city life, while demonstrating their own com足 plete jgnorance of life outside New York . One of Stigliano's greater achievements in making FUN DOWN THERE is not the explicit representation of sexual acts, but his real istic incorporation of sexual acts into everyday life. A refreshing performance by Michael Waite as Buddy along with the use of real time and dead-pan humor, give FUN DOWN THERE much of its charm. Buddy in New York: "Fun down there ."

SOME OF M Y BEST FRIENDS A RE . . .

URINA L-

JOHANNA D'ARC O F MONGOLIA

USA, 1971 SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE . . . is a rare op portunity to experience the plight of pre-Stonewall gay culture. It is an experience which is both in furiating and fascin�ting. Set in a New York gay bar on Christmas Eve, SOME OF M Y BEST FRIENDS ARE . . . is a Grand Hotel filled with a generation of lost souls. The � p p � es�ion of gay people by the very Institutions which once offered them a kin d of temporary safety is the subtext of the film. Yet it remain s onl y a subtext. The overt substance of the piece degen �rates i�to a kind of orgy of melodramatic self-pity in which homo­ sexuals are pathetic creatures exp loited by each other, as well as by their surroun dings. Originally titled THE BAR and cast as a kin d of family affair from a group of well-known New York actors ' SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE . . . contains a group of the most ghoulish and exaggerated performances ever put o� s�, reen. Rue. McClanahan ( "Golden GI rls ) plays Llta Joyce, a bitchy fag hag. The late Candy Darling weighs in with a ter.rific portrait of a lonely transvestite who dreams of being a real �oman .. Gary Sandy ("WKRP Cincinnati") IS the bisexual hustler who discovers Candy 's secret. SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE . . . is not great movie­ making and it will drive post-Stonewall gays crazy with its bleak and relentless self-loathing, but it's eminently worth­ while. as a history lesson, as well as classIc camp.

Canada, 1988 San Francisco Premiere Curiously transported to the present­ day, a Q,roup ? f dead lesbian and gay artists " Including Sergei Eisenstein, Frida K�hl�, Lan9 ston Hughes and Yukio Mlshlma, find themselves guests in the hon:e of Toronto sculp tors, Frances LO ring and Florence Wyle. They have been mysteriously summoned to Ontario to re.search the sy stematic poliCing of p � bllc w.ashroom sex. These artists of wildly dl�fering temperaments embark upon their research with flamboyance and. aplomb, examining not only the � ubJe.c� at hand, but their own sexual . ! d� ntltl es Each night, one of the six­ J Oined by Wilde man Dorian Gray­ delivers a riotous lecture on some aspect of the issue. Toronto artist Greyso � 's audacious film, which could be subtitled "If Only Heads Could Talk' " n:akes a shambles of filmic expectatlons. The lectures themselves -"A Socia! History of the Public Washroom" one night, "��shroom Sex Texts", the next-ar� mln! -parodies, taking some facet. of film d! scourse and knocking it o.tf kilter. But In URINAL, the formal is flrn:ly embraced by a fiery brand of p�lltlc.al urgency. With an irreverence for historical p ropriety and a story structure that doesn't discriminate between burlesque, surrealist tableaux and bitter fact, Greyson �mploys a mad pastiche to confou� d straight narrative, as he seeks a solution to gay harassment.

THE BOX

West Germany , 1989 West Coast Premiere In this lesbian LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ' director/writer Ulrike Ottinger has cr�ated an ethnographic farce which � rlsscrosses Europe, Asia and time Itself. Co.nstructed in two parts, this challengIng road movie lets us travel on the exotic Trans-Siberian before we are swept away to the dramatic Mongolian steppes. No exp erienced traveler has seen .the �orld until they have been on the. historic Trans-Siberian. The original train was a miniature museum and �agnifi.c�nt hotel on wheels, with luxur­ I O US cu ISlne, and spacious com part­ ments in which the passengers could gather and amuse themselves . In this film, the famous railway is an elegant backdrop for a surreal meeting of an un usual group of international pas­ se.ngers. They are the sophisticated Lady Wlnderm.ere (Delphine Seyrig); an Ameri­ can � � slcal � tar Fanny Ziegfeld (Gillian Scalllsl) ; a prim German schoolteacher �Irm Hermann) ; a beautiful, young Span­ I sh adventuress (lnes Sastre) ; and a trio Of. Klez.me.r musicians. They trade songs �Ith YI� dlsh actor, Micky Katz; a Rus­ sian . officer �nd his young "attache" (Chrl.stoph Eichhorn ) who resents giving u p hl� ballet lessons for assignment to Siberia. The ladies transfer to the Trans­ Mongolian train and are abducted by a troop of wild Mongolian women who lead them to their nomadic tents in the sweeping grasslands. Camels, wild horses, Buddhist priests and a shaman provide a bit of culture shock for the group. The encounter, however, proves to be one the Mongolians won't easily forget.

u. S. Premiere

Great Britain, 1986 In most instances of banned or censored TV tales, the outcry is often more imaginative than the actual film. TWO O F US i s a rare ruIe-breaker: an atypical tale of working class teens who cross the fine line from friendship to sex, it's both austere and sensual . Filmed in 1986 as part of a BBC school series ' with transmis�ion postponed in the light of Thatchen te concern over sex education ' and t� en delayed further during the

ANNETTE FORSTE R LECTURE

Canada, 1986 Jean-Marc is a 39 year old French teacher who has recently ended a 7-year relationshi p. He is disillusioned and uncertain about his future but knows he isn't ready for a new relationship. At a Montreal bar h e meets Mathieu a handsome 24 year old aspiring 'actor. They head for a cafe and while having coffee, Jean-Marc suddenly excuses himself and disap pears into the Montreal summer night, leaving Mathieu alone and confused. J ean-Marc's reluctance to begin a n.ew r.elationship is only the first problem In this thought-provoking drama from Canada. After they begin to date, Jean- Marc becomes concerned with their age difference and finds himself unable to handle the anxiety it creates . It's at this point that he learns that M?thieu has a five year old son, Sebastien, from a marriage that ended when Mathieu finally accepted his homo­ sexuality and admitted it to his under­ stand ing wife. The confl icts for Jean-Marc multiply as he finds that his clos� st friends, a very lively group of lesbians, aren't all that taken with his new lover and that Mathieu feels overly scrutinized by the women . As the story progresses and Sebastien becomes an integ ral part of the lovers' lives ' Jean­ Marc finds he has some questions to an�wer. Does h e want to help raise a child? Does he need th e problems a child could mean to th eir relationship? Does he love Mathieu? Does Mathieu really love him? Well-written and comp letely sympathetic to all its characters, THE HEART EXPOSED also succeeds in re­ creating th e look of a classic film romance.

V IDEOS BY JOHN GRE YSON THE PE RILS OF PEDAGOGY 1984, 5 minutes

A meditation on the unconscious collab­ oration between dominant mainstream cul tural values and the supposedly alter­ native gay ghetto, focusing on the limited rol e options available to young gay men, caught between two worlds. The actor and director are trying to produce a music video of "To Sir With Love" slowed down to sound like Per ry Como, but their relationship and the dominant culture intervene and interrupt .

THE J UNG LE BOY 1985, 15 minutes

This tape is based on the 1985 wash­ room bust in St. Catherines, Ontario, where one of the thirty-two men arrested committed suicide. Greyson combines narrative drama with appropriated scenes from the movie of the same name .

KIP LING MEETS THE COWBOYS 1985, 22 minutes

KIPLING MEETS THE COWBOY gently tosses cowboy porn and the western classic RED RIVER starring Montgomery Clift and John Wayne into a tale of Rudyard Kipling' s escapades on the lecture circuit.

MOSCOW DOES NOT BELIEVE IN Q UEERS 1 986, 27 m i n utes

Based on the experience of attending the 1986 Moscow Youth Festival as an " out" gay del egate, this tape is an eccentric diary of those ten days . Reconstructions of adventures in Moscow's gay sub­ culture are cut with lurid Rock Hudson headlines and scenes from his cold-war classic ICE STATION ZEBRA.
