In January, Frameline was shaken' by the tragic loss of our beloved colleague Mark Finch, who served as Artistic Director of this Festival for the last three years. As a film critic, writer and curator, Mark was a seminal figure in the current explosion of lesbian and gay media arts. We miss him greatly both as a colleague and a mentor, but

To honor his brilliance and vision, Frameline dedicates this, the 19th San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay
Film Festival, to Mark Finch.
The success we've enjoyed in the investment business comes from
bringing talented people from unique an d diverse communities -
together to accomplish shared goals.
And after all the hard work, lofty goals and the challenging pace,
we' all deserve a break.
That's why Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. is proud to sponsor
the 19th San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. Enjoy the show.

hat better way to kick off the Festival than with one of the most charming romantic comedies to
come around in a long time. The
Incredibly True Adventure Of Two Girls In Love, Maria Maggenti's debut feature film, tells the touching and comic story of frrst love between two girls in their senior year of high school. From the wrong side of the tracks, cute and out tomboy Randy (Laurel Hollomon) lives with her two lesbian aunts and works after school as a gas station attendant. Middle class Evie (Nicole Parker) is the prettiest, smartest and most popular girl at school. C ?nvinced there is something wrong WIth her posh Range Rover, Evie stops by the gas station one day. Instantly taken with one another, the two girls �mbark on a friendship which develops mto a tender but hilarious romance. When Evie's mother leaves on a week end business trip, the two girls decide to celebrate their new fourid love in
Evie's mansion-like house. This results in a series of comic misadventures in which everyone becomes involved including the jealous husband of Randy's former fling. Maggenti, an ACT UP activist and Testing the Limits documentary produc er, states that the film is loosely based on her own experience of frrst love. Sure to be a big hit when it gets its release from Fine Line Features this summer, Incredibly True Adventure is a must-see for anyone who can still recall the thrill of their first romance. See it here first!

Vou've been asking us for year's why we don't I show women's and men's shorts together. Well we decided that it was about time and we are pre senting three very charming shorts for everyone to enjoy. Here you'll find the sexes happily working together to solve their diverse and not so pre dictable problems. First-time filmmaker Garth Christenson's The Anniversary is a romantic comedy that will charm your socks off. Set in a typical Manhattan apart ment building, two couples get their anniversary dates mixed and tensions build. As their spouses prepare fabulous meals, the nosy new neighbor Nancy is trying to be friendly, but only adds to the confusion. The Conception brings together a pregnant straight teen, a gay man with relationship problems and a lesbian couple desperately trying to get pregnant. This determined couple tries everything including adoption, procreation, bribery and immaculate con ception. None of these options seem to work until they get a little help from a friend.

Finally, Montseratt asks Anna to go to the Costa Brava (Brave Coast) with her and it is here in this wildly romantic setting that they first tentatively embrace and fall in love.

The Cyber£xpo,
playing on the conventions of the multimedia Expo or World's Fair, is a high-end "product fair" that explores the marketability and commercialization of queer multimedia, and suggests ways in which queer aesthetics might inform approaches to information, entertainment, products, and services.

Since the vast majority of queers do not have access to the latest, expensive stateof-the-art technology, artists often work with what they can get their hands on. Innovative "experiments" on limited budgets and limited access are celebrated in this exhibit - for the radical ways that they re-envision the cultural landscape.

his youth wields over the older men he seeks out. But when he sees his. image captured and bottled by Michael he realizes the precariousness of his advantage. For Henry, sex is just a job and he puts up with Brian who finds sexual gratification in hustlers and his maid Sylvie. The cynical Sylvie is empowered by the sexual acts she per forms with her employer. Sarah, must face her past and question her current life when she meets Gabriel. Michael and Jim are still facing the demons born of their broken relationship.

e are very excited to be presenting a new doc umentary from the makers of Forbidden Love. Aerlyn Weissman and Lynne Fernie have once again created an insightful and entertaining film that delves into lesbian history this time examin ing the life of famous lesbian novelist and activist, Jane Rule. Interviews with and about Rule are interwieved with dramatic evocations of her writ ing. Her first published novel The Desert of the Heart sent shock waves through the literary com munity, but never-the-Iess went on to become a best-seller and highly successful film which remains a favorite among lesbian audiences. A committed political activist and intellectual, Jane Rule found herself fleeing, with her life-long com panion Helen Sonthoff, the rabid McCarthyism of the US in the 50's. Settling in Canada, she contin ues to foster public awareness and debate around issues of sexuality, representation and censorship. Whether a fan of her writing or Desert Hearts the film, Weissman and Fernie's film is a wonderful opportunity to meet one of the most important les bians of our time. From Freaky Friday to Nell, Jodie Foster has been one of the most versatile actresses of her _ generation. As a tomboy role model, as a bud ding adolescent, and as one of the strongest women actresses of the 80s she's also one of our hottest heart-throbs. Featuring some of the bright est highlights of her distinguished career, this compilation of coming attractions serves up a trailer tribute to one of the biggest screen heroes of the 90s.

A C O M M U N IT Y EVENT
The Festival is designed as a celebration of our community. We invite everyone to enjoy this year' s excit�ng range of lesbian and gay film and video. We are especially committed to assisting audience members with special needs. We offer pre-seating for people with disabilities: please make yourself known to the house manager at each venue. We also ask all moviegoers to please refrain from wearing perfume and other scented products so that those with environmental illnesses may attend.
Read this page before ordering fttstival tickets
U
se the program grid on the following page to make your program choices, and circle the BASS code next to the pro gram you want to see. You must order your tickets by these codes when you call or visit one of the BASS ticket centers, or when you visit the Members VIP Ticket Office. Please have these codes written down to expedite your order ! Tickets for some Festival pro grams sell out very quickly. With 150 BASS ticket centers across the Bay Area, everyone has an equal chance of obtaining tickets. We recommend that you place your order right away! DAY-OF-S HOW SALES
BASS will stop selling advance tickets on the previous day-of-show. To get same-day advance tickets, you must visit the venue box office. Each venue box office will open about 30 minutes before the first show of the day. This means that, for a program on June 1 2 at 9:00pm at the Castro, you may buy a ticket from 1 1 :30am because the first screening that day is at noon. Of course, if a program is already sold out, there will be no advance day-of-show tickets ayailable.
SOLD O U T?
When a screening is advertised as "sold out" at the advance ticket centers, we usually still have a number of tickets for sale at the door. This is because we have to hold back a cer tain number of seats for pass-holders. Once we determine how many pass-holders did not tum up, we can then release these seats for sale.
All theatres are wheelchair accessible, although the Victoria Theatre does not have a special wheelchair viewing area. T H EATRE A D D R ESSES & V E N U E C O D ES Castro Theatre (CAS)

In our past experience, this usually means that there are about 50 - 1 00 tickets avail able at the Castro Theatre just before the screening starts. (The number of last-minute seats available at other venues varies.) These are released about 15 minutes before the screening starts. We recommend that you arrive early to be in line for any available tickets for "sold out " shows. Please remember, though, we offer no guarantee of available seats. R EF U N D S AND S C H ED U L E C H A N G ES
Sometimes, for reasons beyond our control, programs must be changed, rescheduled or canceled. We only offer refunds if a pro gram is canceled. If a program is canceled, please return tickets to the ticket center where you bought them, and a full r�fund '(including any convenience charge) will be issued promptly.

Our ambition is to showcase the best and most diverse work by or about lesbians and gay men.
, In addition to the Festiv� FrameIi1e also presents: FILM & V I D EO DISTRI BUTION

drag perfonner (Ian Williams) dies of AIDS but returns to settle some unfinished business with his butch ex-lover (Thomas Addie) in this sweet � comedy about love, com virgin atlaqtic " mitment and remembrance. As the film begins, Mark's health is starting to fade and handsome Simon, typical of their rela tionship, is doing his best to ignore reality. Prac ticing a different fonn of denial is their ditzy upstairs neighbor Siobban (Dillie Keane), who's just found politics via an incongruous affair with the well-meaning but humorless Terry (Tony Slat tery) - true love is amusingly elusive for every one in this movie.

Much to Mark's chagrin, he and Simon have an open relationship - Mark spends his last evenings working on his quilt panel while Simon hits the town. But when Mark enters the spirit world, he finds he has a lot more control over Simon's extracurricular activities than he did while alive. Mark's endless pranks finally get Simon to face some long-submerged feelings. There's a smidge of several old favorites - most obviously Ghost, Blithe Spirit, and Truly, Madly, Deeply - in Peter Mackenzie Litten's feature, which ends with the most satisfying expression of wish fulfillment related to the consequences of AIDS since the closing scene of Longtime Companion.

ased on the book The Traps of Faith by Nobel Prize-Winning Octavio Paz, Maria Luisa Bem berg's exquisite film tells the remarkable story of 1 7th-century Mexican poet Sister Juana Ines de la Cruz (Assumpta Serna), one of the greatest poets of the spanish language. Born with an intense passion to write and possessing an incredible intellect, Juana enters the convent in order to avoid marriage and continue her writing. As the Inquisition rages around her and the politics of the church become more and more repressive, Juana begins to attract much attention for her free think ing controversial plays and poems. A new and liberal thinking viceroy takes power and his beautiful, educated wife, Maria (Dominique Sanda) takes an interest in Juana. The two are immediately taken with each other and begin an intimate relationship that is at first intellectual, but soon becomes much more. Juana begins to write many tortured love poems to Maria that amuse her husband, but anger the woman-hating archbishop. Maria uses her hus • band's power and influence to pro tect Juana, but the viceroy is eventu LI N ally sent back to Spain with his wife and Juana is left alone to battle against the Machi' avalian plots of the Catholic church.

Though The Last Supper takes place in a single approximation of real time, director Cynthia Roberts's nicely conceived camera movements and Rembrandt-like lighting maintain visual inter est. McDougall, who died shortly after filming, is particularly strong as the ailing Chris, who steers his lover (and himself) through a traumatic moment with grace and thoroughly appropriate touches of gloomy wit. In death Chris proves not only how much he loves Val , but life itself. The Last Supper won the "Gay Teddy Bear" audi ence award for best feature at the

tine Giannaris (Caught Looking, North of Vortex). Ilias (Stavros Zalmas), a bored and blase 35-year old Athenian, falls in love with Panagiotis (Pana giotis Tsetsos), a muscular, 1 8-year-old economic refugee from Albania. These two have nothing in common, sexually or otherwise, but that doesn't stop them from embarking on a emotionally lop sided, ill-fated relationship. Giannaris ' s Genet-tinged narrative, related as much through carefully wrought imagery as dia logue, is heavy on atmosphere and the palpable sensation of desire. Taken literally, A Place in the Sun's scenario is a queer activist's horror - the beautiful Panagiotis isn't above bilking and bash ing gays, and Ilias willingly becomes an accessory after the fact to a capital crime - though any one who's ever t.be ----' been caught up in passion's wild '--throes is likely to empathize with Ilias's romantic and moral dilemmas.

With John Miller-Monzon's Some Of These Days in which Hal sings "Is you is, oh, is you ain't my baby?" Geoff packs his bags and leaves. Julian moves in and seduces Hal's broken heart with his Calvin Klein good looks and Grandma's chicken soup, while stealing money and turning tricks in Hal's big beautiful Victorian bed. In this artfully shot short film full of shady comebacks and dra matic profiles, everyone looks good in their under wear and thinks everyone else is a whore. Amus ingly melancholy, Some Of These Days is what we all imagine our break-ups and make-ups would be if thrown up on the big screen.

We watch as she attends society balls, puts up with her nagging moth. . er and visits with her father's plastic DENElNE surgery patients trying to spill the beans about her sexuality the whole time.

Pratibha Parmar's first narrative film is the story of Shanti, a streetwise East End girl, who is regu larly harassed by local National Front boys until one evening when the mysterious "Memsahib Rita" appears. Memsahib Rita, is an elusive mother figure who brings together the best aspects of an Asian movie star and a Hollywood femme fatale. She comes to Shanti's defense on the anniversary her mother's death. These Shoes Weren't Made For Walking is a beautiful new documentary from Paul Lee. Here he pays tribute to four generations of women in his family. He explores their lives, the changing roles of women in Chinese society (including one cross-dressing butch dyke aunt), and their chang ing shoes.
