elcome to the 18th San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. As we turn 18, queer cinema also comes of age. From

lesbian and gay movies are a hot commodity
today, and we're celebrating with the biggest, most excit ing and wide-ranging program ever. Sneak Previews and World Premieres
This year's Festival boasts a record number of sneak previews and world premieres. Highlights include two brilliant new films by Isaac Julien, A Darker Side Of Black and Black And White In Color; Erotique, an international omnibus showcasing the tal ents of Monika Treut and Susie Bright; Under Heat, a moody American melodrama starring Lee Grant; Your Heart Is All Mine, a German film about a butch butcher and lesbo jealousy; World And Time Enough, a new comedy from gay America's heartland; plus, of course, Rose Troche's sexy, slangy dyke drama, Go Fish.
of the makers will be here, thanks to the generous support of the Canadian Consulate Trade Office, Telefilm Canada and the Government of Quebec in Los Angeles. Retrospectives and Rarities
In collaboration with the San Francisco, based Silent Film Festival, we present Ernst Lubitsch's 1919 curio I Don't Want to Be a Man! , with live musical accompaniment. We also offer Hollywood's technicolor crossdressing classic, Calamity Jane, Andy Warhol's notorious Bike Boy, Camp For Boys And Girls, and a rarely seen gay German feature, The Consequence, made in 1977 by the director of In The Line Of Fire.
International Panorama
Strap yourself in for a quick trip around the world. We've imported images from all over the globe, including Russia's first gay dramas (The Creation Of Adam and One Hundred Days Before The Command) and a punchy tribute to India's legendary feminist stunt actress by Bombay gay filmmaker Riyad Wadia (Fearless: The Hunterwali Story). Plus Manuela 's Loves, a passionate and political lesbian triangle from France; Muscle, an erotic classic from Japan; The Neapolitans, a hilarious Almodovar-style yarn set in Southern Italy; The Legend Of Fong Sai-Yuk, the latest Hong Kong cross dressing kung fu extravaganza; and, from New Zealand, our campy co-gender Closing Night premiere, Desperate Remedies Canada with a 'Q'
Canada has always produced some of the best lesbian and gay movies we've seen. Last year we premiered Forbidden Love and Zero Patience; this year we invite you to enjoy two compelling documentaries, Out: Stories Of Lesbian & Gay Youth, and Long Time Comin', as well as some unique Canadian features - Cap Tourmente, a polymorphous perverse family thriller; Kanada, a clever political satire; and Super 8 1/2, Bruce LaBruce's wayward autobiog raphy. Many Canadian short films and videos are also placed throughout the pro gram (indicated with a .. symbol) and most
Left to our own devices: James Mackay and Derek Jarman
James Mackay is best known as Derek Jarman's producer, but he's also been responsible for an abundant body of gay work in Britain since the early '80s. In four specially curated programs, Mackay traces English gay cinema from avant-garde to pop promos. The Festival also presents the U.S. premiere of two music-driven movies produced by James Mackay: Projections, Derek Jarman's 1989 film for the Pet Shop Boys first tour, and Glitterbug, Jarman's final film (made after Blue) - a wordless tour-de-force propelled by new music by Brian Eno. Guest Curators
Guest-curated programs this year showcase works in an expansive range of areas. Community United Against Violence (CUAV) has compiled a series of films about violence against lesbians and gays. Videomaker Quentin Lee presents an homage to homo horror movies, Return Of The Scary Queens. New Mexico-based curator Jaime Smith offers up Two Spirits: Three Visions, a celebratory showcase of new works by Native American film and videomakers. From Jeffrey Winter, infa mous presenter of the 99c Queer Video Festival, comes Fabian's Freeak Show, while Matt Ebert eyeballs new Pacific
Northwest drag videos in Rain City Confidential. GLAAD SF/BA culls the best of the television year in Seen Anything Good Lately? Filmrrtaker Sande Zeig pays homage to her lesbian New ,York Giants.

Opening Night:
Go Fish
Bay Area Premiere Sponsored by JOE BOXER Thu June 9 7:00pm $8 CAS G09A extremely proud to present one of the We're most important films of the '90s as our
Opening Night feature. Go Fish was a popu lar hit at this year's Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals. This slangy, sexy comedy got snatched up by the Samuel Goldwyn Company for their summer slate of releases. ' Catch it here first, and bring your friends. Go Fish serves up bundles of gossip, drama and sex as it eyes the lives of an extraordinary group of lesbian friends. Kia (f. Wendy McMillan), a professor, is involved with Evy (Migdalia Melendez), a divorcee who's not out to her mother, yet. Kia decides to set up her roommate Max (Guinevere' Turner) with an ex-student : . of hers, Ely (Y. S. Brodie), • who's just ending a long distance relationship. And then there', s the perpetually horny Daria (Anastasia Sharp).
~ •
Many years in the making, this debut feature from writer/director Rose Troche and co writer Guinevere Turner was one of Frameline's 1992 Completion Fund grant recipients. Co-executive produced by Tom Kalin (Swoon) and 1994 Frameline Award winner Christine Vachon, Go Fish has the
charm and audacity of such debut indepen dent features as She's Gotta Have It and Slacker. A three-star review from the prestigious ' Screen International compares Go Fish to 1991's Poison, suggesting that Go Fish sig nals "the belated advent of lesbian cinema," and it brightly pegs the film's key audience as, simply, "lesbians everywhere."

Dorothea wants Lawrence to marry her opium-addled sister Rose (Kiri Mills); Rose wants to marry flamboyant queen Fraser (Cliff Curtis); Lawrence wants to devour Dorothea, who's in love with Anne; Anne wants Dorothea to enter a marriage of con-venience with a sleazy local politician.

It's very easy to get excited about Desperate Remedies;. the film posi-

A tale of lesbian triumph, peopled by Playgirl pin ups, and directed by New Zealand's most important gay filmmakers (Stewart Main and Peter Wells made the far more serious Death In The Family, which we screened in 1987), Desperate Remedies is the per fect way to mark the end of Lesbian &

Vachon, a key figure in new queer cinema, and producer and collaborator on some of the best lesbian and gay films to have appeared over the last five years. We can't tell you what our surprise movie is, but you'll hate yourself if you miss it. Just as Poisori became the benchmark for gay films in the '90s, this new film sets the standard for the next wave of queer cinema.

sented on-stage with this year's Frameline Award for outstanding achievement in les bian and gay media arts. We are proud to honor Christine Vachon for her longstanding service to the lesbian and
gay community. As producer of such land mark features as Poison and Swoon,
Vachon's committment to excellence and innovation has contributed to a new profile for lesbian and gay cinema in the 90s. We salute Vachon tonight for her visionary com mittment to such projects as: Rose Troche's Go Fish (as co-executive producer), Steve McLean's Postcards From America (p�oduc er), Todd Haynes' Dottie Gets Spanked (pro ducer) and Safe (producer). Commenting on the presentation of the 1994 Award, Frameline Board President Karl Knapper says, "This is the first time the award has gone to a producer. Producing may seem less sexy, but it's just as much hard work as directing. It's a privilege to honor a unique, influential talent."

Atransvestites, and transsexual women.

This program runs the gamut from documen taries to narratives to just plain fun. Enjoy the simple charms of the street hustling hair-queens in the hilarious Judy's Do, and the droll shenanigans of two British drag queens in Love & Lashes. Transcending the "so what's it like to be a transsexual?" documentary genre, Denajua, I Like My Name is a moving portrait of a charming fashion designer who happens to be a male-to-female transsexual. In 21st Century Nuns, England's branch of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is pro filed. Miss Otis is a '40s-style noir crime thriller with a twist (it's in brilliant color) and adds new meaning to the compliment "beautifully shot."

erenice Abbott: A View Of The 20th Cen B tury is a portrait of one of the richest
careers in the history of photography. The 92 year-old Abbott shines as she talks about her life, her work and her circle of friends which included such famous artists and writers as James Joyce, Andre Gide and Janet Flanner. Focusing on Abbott's prolific PRESTO PRINTS work as an artist, the film L-' also reveals clues about her relationships with women, including such notable contemporaries as Djuna Barnes and Edna St. Vincent Milay. Extensive archival film footage and photo-graphs are comple mented by interviews with scholars as film makers Martha Wheelock and Kay Weaver trace the fascinating life of this remarkable lesbian of the twentieth century. _ _ _ _

This collection of reflections on bisexual I identity and relationships starts off with Wendy Jo Carlton's fun little interview with her bisexual pal in My Dinner At Dan's. Monica Nolan's fast-paced survey scans the range of public opinions, pro and con, on Lesbians Who Date Men. The locally pro duced Queers Among Queers offers up an articulate series of interviews with bi com munity activists. No Fairy Tale is a safe-sex PSA, and, in the bittersweet Simple Facts, a man tells us about the two people he's been thinking about all day - a woman and a man. And lastly, Strings recounts the story of Ani, a bi musician and her gang of friends. When Ani's friend dies of AIDS she decides it's time to move away, but her girl friend and her boyfriend don't want her to leave.

Young working class motorycyclist Joe Spencer is everyone's object of desire. But he's decidedly out of his element in the sophisticated world of Warhol's superstar friends - Viva, Ingrid Superstar, Brigid Polk and Ed Weiner. "One of the most liberating experiences of my life was seeing Bike Boy at a theater in Cambridge. I was with some ultra straight but sensitive, tolerant Harvard boys who froze in horror after the first two m inutes. Viva was in the bathtub with a man, telling him if he wanted to make plastic sculptures he should just do it and shut up about it... As I watched this film I thought: 'That's for me.'" - Gary Indiana, Village Voice Bike Boy dir. Andy Warhol 1967 USA 110

lack And White In C�lor documents the involvement of black people in British broadcasting from its earliest days. Pro duced by the British Film Institute for BBC TV, Isaac Julien'� tangy two-parter offers a concise social history of English race' relations, as well as some distinctly campy blasts-from-the-past. Part one deals with British TV from the BBC's 1936 opening night (featuring Ameri can song'n'dance duo Buck and Bubbles) through "the excitement and variety of negro entertainment" to the late '50s. In part two, Julien investigates the rise of social realism, and the achievements of Channel Four in the '80s and '90s (Hanif Kureishi describes the development of My Beautiful Laundrette). Black And White In Color is a fascinating counterpoint to Marlon Riggs' Color Adjust ment, which tackled similar terrain in rela tion to American TV. Entertainingly ency clopedic and quietly elegant, Julien's ' remarkable raid on the archives proves that there's more to British broadcasting than Masterpiece Theatre. Black And White In Color dir.

"Lou was fascinated by transvestites," claims Jayne I County, "He had this girl friend at the time called Rachel and she was a transsexual.

Then, walk this way: Mark Kidel's portrait of Boy George is a hypnotic story of narcis sism and neediness, drugs and drag. Boy Next Door covers nine years, from Culture Club's sudden success through to George's rebirth as a s.o lo celeb. Along the route, there's tons of amazing archive footage, some very queer fashions, a gripping inter view with B.G.'s ex, Jon Moss, and a sign of salvation. Looking back on it all, a candid George concludes, "Being gay is my only saving grace." I

Plus a rare chance to see Jul ien 's landmark
film, Looking For Langston, on the big screen.
It's a gigantically lyrical love letter to Langston
Hughes. Original ly scheduled to premiere at
our 1 990 Festival, i t was pulled at the last
moment under orders from the Hughes estate.
Later, the film went on to play theaters across
America in an edited copy, with Hughes' poet
ry taken out; we're very pleased to present the
origi nal, unedi ted version.

ight films about the terror and pleasure of
tearooms and other publ ic places. Be pre
pared: the style and tone of these works range
widely, from humorous to somber, from narra
tive to experimental. (Two of the shorts in this program also contain brief scenes of graphic
violence.)
Intelligent and avant garde, Prince Of Peace is
the Koyaanisqatsi of toi let shorts. Reference takes a dim view of anonymous sex, and It
Never Was You is an extremely intense evoca
tion of one i ts dangers.
From Australial, See
Saw has fun with a glory hole gag, while from Britain, Magic Cottage is a hil arious, wildly provocative spoof of Night Of The Living
Dead (to the tune of Barbra Streisand's
'Guilty,' Magic Cottage's end credit crawl
also includes a useful l ist of London's best tea rooms - bring a notepad).
Plus some other shorts inspired by adventures
in public places: sex elvis boy takes us to lon don's Hampstead Heath.

al stimulation, intellectual irreverence and emotional confrontation. Painful and
difficult subjects are treated with humor and compassion. Everything is questioned... Bordowitz embraces all of this within a per sonal vision that is playful, passionate, angry, smart and sassy (with some klezmer music thrown in to top it all off). Ultimately he has given us a courageous work of art.

Ossi l i kes to drink, smoke, play poker and do a lot of thi ngs that are n ' t becom i ng to a respectable young lady. When her male guardian, Dr. Kersten, lays down the law, she decides to adopt a new wardrobe and assume the i dentity of a fashi onable young man . But when "gentleman" Ossi ends up i n t h e back of a cab with a drunken Dr. Kersten she learns that l i fe as a man isn ' t as easy as it looks ! Com ic in tone, the fil m explores the privileges and problems of gender and fea tures some charm i ng twists of homo- and lesbo-erotic humor. Th is is a rare opportun i ty to see this del ight ful earl y German fi l m by Ernst Lubitsch (Ninotchka, Heaven Ca n Wa i t) . Lubitsch discovered i ts star Ossi Oswal da, who came to be known as the "Mary Pickford of Germany." Oswalda charmed her audiences
Richard Dyer in person. "When I was growing up in the late 1 950s
and 1 960s, I assented that the lot of queers l i ke my sel f was a mel ancholy on e. I don 't
remember how exactly where I first picked up this i dea, but I do remember see i ng
myself in the characters of Geoff in A Taste Of Honey and both Reggie and Pete in The Leather Boys, or knowi ng that books with covers showing pairs of young men l ooki ng mournfu l l y downwards yet towards each other were for m e . . . Now what interests me i n l ooking at the image of the gay man as the sad young man is the way a stereotype can be com plex, var ied, intense and contradictory, an i mage of otherness i n which i t is sti l l possible to find oneself."

Through her com m a n d i ngly constructed cha racters (therapi sts, s i ster, mother, father) and di rect monologues, Downs creates an emotional j ourney for her audience that is deeply affecti ng, bold and cathartic.

are our images of the sleepy nations dappling the
Caribbean. But behind these soothing images dwell the realities of social repression. Carl
George 's History Will Accuse Me is an off-the
cuff tour of Havana, identifying the disparities of Castro 's policies. Well-stocked boutiques and
opulent mansions on one side, decrepit digs and
depleted groceries on the other. The centerpiece
of George 's anti-travelogue is a rooftop party
thrown for his gay friends. They would've raised the roof if there was one.

This is certainly not a film for people who

rafted i n 1 967, Perry Watkins served 1 5
years i n the US Army a s a n openly gay man. He was di scharged in 1 982 under the
provisi ons that ban homosexuals from serv i ng in the Armed Forces. With the help of
the ACLU, Sgt. Wa tki ns won his case after ·

gay officer to defeat the ban aga inst gays i n

been embraced by the gay community?
Why has the bl ack com m u n i ty not celebrat
ed his struggle and success?
Thankfully,
Watkins h i mse l f, a charismatic figure, is on hand to set the record straight.

orld And Time Enough is the first Genera tion X gay comedy from America's heart
land.
Mark (Matt Guidry), an HIV-positive artist, is
obsessed with building a cathedral in honor of his father. Joey (Gregory G. Gi les), his
boyfriend, is a garbage collector who brings
home favorite bits of junk to comfort himself
as he searches for his birth parents. Their lives
are very much like anyone else's: they flirt with
other people, mope about a lot, and enjoy the company of their gossipy friends.
First-time director Eric Mueller keeps this con
temporary story buoyant with some delicate
performances, and a good eye for Minneapolis scenery. Although there are some serious
issues lurking behind the frames, Mueller puts
drama first. World And Time Enough is also reminiscent of Richard Glatzer's Grief, with
less out-loud laughs, more locations and a true
sense of the eccentricities of everyday life.
(Mueller says he was aim ing for the tone of his favorite Mary Ty ler Moore show, the one
where Mary breaks into laughter at Chuckles the Clown's funeral .)
World And Time Enough has two qualities
lacking in a lot of gay cinema nowadays: mod
esty and charm.
We 're proud to present the
world premiere screening of a true original.
Plus Vacancy, a Gus Van Sant-style short about the comic difficulties of form ing long-term
relationships in a sma ll town li ke San
Francisco.

ay discos were a l l the rage in the late '70s and earl y '80s, but a special kind of magic permeated San Francisco's legendary Tro cadero Transfer. John Goss's Wrecked For Li fe interviews several h abi tues and employ ees from the Troc's glory days. There's a nos talgic tinge, and a sense of the cl ub's enduring spirit - one fellow carries h i s membersh ip card in his wal let to this day. The in terviewees regale the camera w i th tales of sex and drugs: They also describe the tremendous feel ing of community the Trocadero steen. engendered. "In those days the community wasn ' t so divided," waxes ' Di sco Connie' Norman. Goss has rounded up an engaging ensemble for this evocative soft-shoe through a memo rable moment in San Francisco gay history.

In addition, Mackay has collaborated with a number of other key gay di rectors, including Ron Peck and John Maybeck. Mackay will be in San Francisco to present three programs of rare, speci ally selected work, which ill ustrates the excite ment, . importance and unique aesthetic of independent British gay filmmakers.

As financial support by the British film establishment came late and rarely willingly - even now, many of the very talented film makers whose work is featured here are struggl ing to achieve modest projects and are forced to rely on self-finance - this cine ma of small gestures was able to develop a strong aesthetic without any form of com promise.
