CONCUSSION Dir/Scr: Stacie Passon, 2012, USA, 97 min.

From executive producer Rose Troche and writerdirector Stacie Passon, this funny, sexy and compelling mix of BELLE DE JOUR and THE STEPFORD WIVES follows suburban lesbian housewife Abby (Robin Weigert, “Deadwood”, THE SESSIONS) through an erotic epiphany after suffering a head injury. In the immediate aftermath, she questions whether her picture-perfect family life is enough and decides to revive her career and renovate a loft in New York City. But the space quickly transforms itself into a convenient location for an unexpected sexual reawakening. CONCUSSION had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

THE HAPPY SAD

Dir: Gary Entin, Scr: Edmund Entin, 2012, USA, 83 min.

Dir/Scr: Cory Krueckeberg, 2013, USA, 91 min.

Dir: Rodney Evans, Scr: Ken Urban, 2013, USA, 87 min.

Russell (Cameron Deane Stewart, PITCH PERFECT) is your average closeted high school teen looking for love. Enter Kevin (Justin Deeley, “90210”), the school’s hunkiest football jock. Things get complicated when both Kevin and Russell do things they don’t want to in order to hide who they are. Russell seeks advice from the Geography Club, actually a secret GSA filled with a hilarious collection of misfits. As the closet grows harder to maintain, Russell has to decide whether or not to come out – even if it means losing Kevin. Smart, assured and stylish, with supporting performances by Ana Gasteyer (“SNL”), Alex Newell (“Glee”) and Nikki Blonsky (HAIRSPRAY), the debut feature from the Entin twins represents a big (and very hot) step forward in the gay-teen comedy genre.

College boy Doc (Tanner Cohen, WERE THE WORLD MINE) is obsessed with a well-known NYC go-go boy (Matthew Camp). He befriends his hunky crush with the intention of shooting a documentary about what it’s like to live in his skin. But as they grow closer, flirtation blurs the line between subject and filmmaker until a steamy night together solidifies deeper feelings. Cory Krueckeberg’s explicit directorial debut explores the thrill and danger of getting exactly what you wished for.

The course of true love runs anything but smoothly in this new romantic drama from acclaimed writer-director Rodney Evans (BROTHER TO BROTHER). Annie dumps Stan, who flirts with Marcus, who’s in a relationship with Aaron that may or not be open. Meanwhile, Annie is drawn toward her interesting (and interested) lesbian friend Mandy and discovers she might want Stan back after all. Evans provocatively examines the politics and protocols of open relationships with wit, wisdom and candid sexuality.

HOT GUYS WITH GUNS Dir/Scr: Doug Spearman, 2013, USA, 110 min.

Handsome, reckless Pip gets drugged and robbed at an orgy. Danny, his sexy but sensible ex-boyfriend, is an actor taking a private investigator class—he’s up for a part on a cop show. There’s still a strong sexual and emotional tension between them that builds as they investigate a series of robberies and murders at the sex parties of rich and powerful gay men. With the help of Jimmy, a seenit-all PI, they play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a ruthless killer, finding plenty of laughs along the way. Writer-director Doug Spearman, a 2009 Outfest Screenwriting Lab fellow for the HOT GUYS WITH GUNS screenplay, premieres an eagerly-awaited action-comedy near and dear to Outfest.

LAST SUMMER

Dir/Scr: Chris Michael Birkmeier, 2013, USA, 87 min.

Dir/Scr: Mark Thiedeman, 2013, USA, 73 min.

Kurt and Paul could care less about an alleged serial killer stalking the streets of Chicago. They’re too busy being the perfect couple: fun, deeply in love, and not lacking for money, thanks to Kurt’s successful pot-dealing business. But when a sexy young customer makes a play for Kurt, he makes a decision that threatens to permanently ruin everything he and Paul have built – while placing himself in the elusive murderer’s path. First time filmmaker Chris Michael Birkmeier establishes himself as a director to watch with this prickly and compulsively watchable twist on BLUE VALENTINE and WEEKEND.

For two small-town teenagers in love, this is that one last summer they will spend together before going their separate ways. Baseball star Luke knows that the intelligent Jonah will go off to college in the fall, and over the course of the next few months these boyfriends will lose themselves in nature, bicycle rides and each other while they still can. With echoes of Terrence Malick, writer-director Mark Thiedeman offers up a debut feature that balances haunting beauty with adolescent passion. SPONSORED BY

THE MOST FUN I’VE EVER HAD WITH MY PANTS ON Dir/Scr: Drew Denny, 2012, USA, 95 min.

Freespirited young lesbian Andy (writer-director Drew Denny) and her reserved childhood friend Liv (Sarah Hagan, “Freaks and Geeks”) are traveling across the Southwest to disperse Andy’s father’s ashes. Starting out building campfires, drinking, snuggling and reminiscing about the good old days, tensions arise as the trip progresses, forcing them to examine the core of their relationship. Are they friends or something more? Denny’s autobiographical comedy about connection, the open road, and yes, how to have fun with your pants on, is a joyride of sweet twists and turns.

For the past few years, she’s had no goals and no idea how to get what she wants. Just when she’s about to throw in the towel, she meets the enchanting Katia (Janina Gavankar, “The L Word,” “True Blood,”) who becomes her muse and sets her on a path of self-discovery, creativity and redemption.

Dir/Scr: Chris Mason Johnson, 2013, USA, 90 min.

It’s San Francisco, 1985, and Frankie is determined to fit in with the more seasoned members of his modern dance company. But there’s something bigger on his mind: the new HIV test, which many fear might be used to quarantine gay people. As Frankie contemplates taking the test, he gets news that forces him into action. Beautifully shot with sensitive lead performances and breathtaking dance sequences, the sexy and humorous TEST calls to mind the groundbreaking indie drama PARTING GLANCES. SPONSORED BY

Paulo, a sensitive pianist, meets a brooding bartender named Ilir one night in Brussels. The two fall in love but are soon at odds over issues of fidelity, trust and, ultimately, the iron-clad indifference of the law. With candidness and grace, director David Lambert paints a vivid portrait of romance in Belgium, taking us through sex shops, silent cinemas, jail cells and, most memorably, into the headspace of two men hopelessly infatuated with the idea of love.

BWAKAW

EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMEBODY...NOT ME

FREE FALL

Dir/Scr: Jun Robles Lana, 2012, Philippines, subtitled, 110 min.

Heartwarming and humorous, this awardwinning gem uncovers hope and satisfaction within the grumpiest of old men. Rene starts out a lovable-yet-cantakerous elderly gay man grumbling through his days in a small town. He continues to work at a job that no longer pays and often picks fights with the campy queens at the local beauty salon. After coming out late in life, he’s convinced his best years are behind him. His only real friend is a sweet dog named Bwakaw. But when his bickering relationship with rough-hewn taxi driver Sol suddenly turns friendly, Rene starts to feel the pangs of romantic love for the first time. BWAKAW was selected as the Filipino entry for Best Foreign Language Film to the 2012 Academy Awards.

Dir: Stephan Lacant, Scr: Stephan Lacant, Karsten Dahlem, 2013, Germany, subtitled, 100 min.

Dir/Scr: Raúl Fuentes, 2012, Mexico, subtitled, 95 min.

This sumptuous, sexually charged drama from Mexico tells the story of a passionate relationship between Alejandra, an uptight intellectual, and Maria, a wild and curious private school teenager. Though the two have an intense emotional and physical connection, Alejandra’s attempts to keep Maria away from her partying friends threaten to sabotage the allconsuming love that binds them. A stunning cinematic visual style and remarkable performances from leads Andrea Portal and Naian Daeva mark director Raúl Fuentes’ debut as a bold and breathtaking achievement. PRE-SCREENING RECEPTION: ALL-GIRL FRIDAY, 7/19 AFTER-PARTY: Truck Stop @ here lounge, 7/19

In his gripping and erotic feature debut, German director Stephan Lacant chronicles the pleasures and pitfalls of a tumultuous love affair between police officer Marc and his training partner, Kay. At first Marc brushes off his attraction to his colleague as a fluke, but his feelings become evident the more time he spends away from his pregnant girlfriend Bettina, inside motel rooms and in remote corners of the forest with Kay. FREE FALL, which had its world premiere at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, explores the excitement of forbidden love as well as the consequences of secrecy and repression.

There are maladjusted teens, and then there’s Pol, whose best friend is a walking, talking stuffed bear who sounds like HAL, the evil computer in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. (TED, this ain’t.) As Pol tries to unravel the meaning behind a strange series of circumstances involving his gay friend, a local girl’s death, a sexy new transfer student and his English teacher (Martin Freeman, THE HOBBIT), he finds that nothing in this weird, weird world is what it seems. Evoking the strange and sometimes sinister mood of DONNIE DARKO, AMERICAN BEAUTY, ELEPHANT and KABOOM, ANIMALS is like a mysterious dream you’ll want to have over and over again.

Daniel, a young, handsome and talented illustrator, is deeply depressed in the aftermath of his relationship with an older man, his college professor. Salvation comes through his neighbor Paula, an agoraphobic therapist, with whom Daniel begins an intense relationship. IGLOO explores a young man’s complex relationships with sexuality, intimacy and addiction, and how his memories and present day relationships help him embrace a new life. In his directorial debut, established Chilean actor Diego Ruiz plays the lead role of Daniel (he also co-wrote the script) in an imaginative and moving story of identity and self-acceptance.

IN THE NAME OF...

IT’S ALL SO QUIET

Dir: Malgoska Szumowska, Scr: Malgoska Szumowska, Michal Englert, 2013, Poland, subtitled, 102 min.

Dir/Scr: Nanouk Leopold, 2013, Germany/ Netherlands, subtitled, 93 min.

Father Adam is the talk of the small Polish town he’s assigned to. Handsome, strong and unfazed by a violent group of local teens, he’s idolized and occasionally hit on by local men and women alike. It’s only when the brooding and beautiful Lukasz, an orphan and accused arsonist, falls into his arms one hot summer day, that Father Adam feels the sudden pang of repressed desire. Soon his feelings of lust give way to love, setting off suspicion within the tight-knit, conservative community. Shot in glowing, golden sunlight and set within the sprawling fields and forests of Poland, Malgoska Szumowska’s sumptuous drama (2013 Teddy Award winner for Best Feature Film) teems with sensuality and tension.

Nanouk Leopold’s quietly powerful feature takes place on an isolated Dutch farm overseen by a lonely man named Helmer. Forced to look after the land and to tend to his ailing father, Helmer has long accepted pain and solitude as inevitable aspects of life. But his weary soul gets a lift when a farmhand arrives one afternoon looking for work. The young man awakens feelings in Helmer that prompt him, for the first time in years, to reconsider his self-inflicted isolation. IT’S ALL SO QUIET is a beautifully shot film made even stronger by its riveting performances.

Dir: Gilitte Leung, Scr: Gilitte Leung, Hedy Yau, 2012, China, subtitled, 92 min.

Reinier works as a callboy in order to support his wife and child, but he ends up gambling most of his money away. Sex with men is strictly business until he befriends a cute soccer player named Yosvani, who works for his girlfriend’s father, a corrupt debt collector. When Reinier’s gambling habit gets him in serious trouble, Yosvani tries to convince Reinier to run away with him. Set in the bustling streets of Cuba, THE LAST MATCH offers a visceral romance ripe with unexpected turns and dangerous temptations.

Aggie might be in love with her roommate Dennis. They’ve been friends since primary school and have lived in the same Hong Kong flat for years. But here’s the rub: Aggie’s a lesbian and Dennis is gay. The two have never been interested in the opposite sex. But love is complicated in Gilitte Leung’s dazzling romance, especially when Dennis gets wind of how Aggie feels. Suddenly, a loving relationship doesn’t look so bad, even if Dennis’ friends think he’s losing his mind.

SOONGAVA: DANCE OF THE ORCHIDS

SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER/GOING SOUTH

Dir/Scr: Subarna Thapa, 2012, Nepal/France, subtitled, 85 min.

A country wrestling with rampant LGBT abuse, Nepal has just released its first-ever explicitly gay-themed film, the sensual and emotionally rich SOONGAVA: DANCE OF THE ORCHIDS. Two girls, Diya and Kiran, fall into a secret love affair just as one is being forced into an arranged marriage. Madly in love and unwilling to put up with the strict societal restraints imposed upon them, they decide to run off together and, in the process, rid themselves of a community they can no longer call home.

SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER Dir: Leesong Hee-il, 2012, South Korea, subtitled, 37 min. GOING SOUTH Dir: Leesong Hee-il, 2012, South Korea, subtitled, 45 min.

The tension between rage and desire simmer beneath every frame of SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER and GOING SOUTH, two sexually charged films from up-and-coming Korean filmmaker Leesong Hee-il. In SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER, a teacher gets blackmailed into entertaining a love-struck student hellbent on getting him into bed. A similar power struggle emerges in GOING SOUTH after a sergeant kidnaps his superior on their way back to an army base with hopes the two will run off together. Both narratives take fascinating turns that force the audience to re-evaluate who’s the victim and who’s the aggressor. PRE-SCREENING RECEPTION: DGA Atrium

To work as one of the four remaining thirdtrimester abortion doctors in the United States is to live with daily threats and constant condemnation from pro-life activists. After the Kansas-based Dr. George Tiller was murdered in 2009, his remaining colleagues, including lesbian physician Dr. Shelley Sella, must cope with a difficult and widely misunderstood profession that is based entirely on saving women’s lives and protecting their well-being. With unflinching candidness and empathy, AFTER TILLER, which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, highlights the devastating choices both doctors and patients must make as well as the vitriol and judgment they must endure from those who see them as nothing more than murderers.

BAYOU MAHARAJAH: THE TRAGIC GENIUS OF JAMES BOOKER Dir: Lily Keber, 2013, USA, 93 min.

Brilliant gay jazz pianist James Booker was known at various points in his career as the Black Liberace, the Ivory Emperor and Little Chopin. Yet his incredible, tumultuous life has never received proper attention – until now. Director Lily Keber’s portrait traces Booker’s life from his early years as a chart-topping child prodigy to the end, where he performed onstage in his underwear, dishing out drug-fueled conspiracy theories. Featuring interviews with the likes of Harry Connick Jr., Irma Thomas and Allen Toussaint, as well as a generous helping of archival footage, the film brings to life the unforgettable story of this amazing musician.

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT

BIG JOY: THE ADVENTURES OF JAMES BROUGHTON

BORN THIS WAY

Dir: PJ Raval, 2013, USA, 110 min.

Wisecracking Robert runs the oldest surviving gay bar in Texas. Dennis looks for love after a lifetime of being in the closet about his sexuality and his cross-dressing. Ty manages a gay senior advocacy group in NYC and hopes his boyfriend will pop the question once the state legalizes gay marriage. Director PJ Raval (TRINIDAD) takes a heartfelt look at three stories of the everyday struggles that come with aging. Though these unique men resist easy classification, Raval’s compelling film sounds a much-needed alarm about the care and kindness we must give our LGBT elders – before it’s too late.

Dir: Eric Slade, Stephen Silha, Dawn Logsdon, 2012, USA, 83 min.

A leading light in the postwar San Francisco Renaissance, James Broughton was an omnisexual poet and filmmaker. His reverence for unbridled joy through childlike creativity and silliness put him perfectly in tune with the flowering of free-spirited experimentation in the 1960s, of which his film THE BED (1968) is a cultural milestone. BIG JOY features a wealth of archival footage and original interviews with key people from Broughton’s life, including poignant testimony from his wife as well as the younger male lover with whom he found a powerful connection late in life.

Suspenseful and riveting, BORN THIS WAY had its premiere at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival. Shot in Cameroon, where homosexuality is punishable with a five-year prison sentence, the film observes Gertrude, a young lesbian, as she hesitantly comes out to the nun who raised her in a convent. Meanwhile, Cedric, a young gay man, is determined to stay in his home even as his neighbors escalate their violent threats. From their base in an HIV treatment center, these two brave souls risk life and liberty to create positive momentum for LGBT rights, even as they face overwhelming personal struggles.

CONTINENTAL

Dir: Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, 2013, USA, 80 min.

Dir: Malcolm Ingram, 2012, USA/Canada, 95 min.

In BRIDEGROOM, director Linda Bloodworth Thomason (“Designing Women”) navigates the romantic highs of Tom and Shane’s relationship – until tragedy strikes. Immediately after, Tom’s conservative parents block Shane off from all contact, refusing to let Shane attend Tom’s funeral. But instead of conceding, Shane vows to tell his and Tom’s love story to the world. First on Youtube, his video “It Could Happen to You” attracted 3.4 million views. Now, as a remarkable, heart-felt feature about love, loss and the courage to stand up for same-sex equality, Shane’s story has taken the nation by storm, already snagging the Heineken Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Larger-than-life entrepreneur Steve Ostrow tells the story of how he dreamed up the Continental Baths in 1968, when he was married, starting to come out, and had a federal court case hanging over his head. With little to lose, he opened the first customer-friendly gay bathhouse, which became a cultural phenomenon. It was a vortex of sexual liberation, glamour and incendiary social change – first helping to legalize homosexuality in New York City and later, with its legendary cabaret, launching the careers of such stars as Labelle, Barry Manilow and Bette Midler. CONTINENTAL is directed by Malcolm Ingram, winner of the Grand Jury Award at Outfest 2006 for his documentary SMALL TOWN GAY BAR.

Dir: Liam Sullivan, Scr: Ian Harvie, 2013, USA, 71 min.

Dir/Scr: Nicholas Wrathall, 2013, USA, 89 min.

Defiantly out of the closet well before it was socially acceptable, Gore Vidal alternately charms and infuriates in this wickedly funny and insightful documentary about one of America’s great thinkers. A natural aristocrat from a powerful family, Vidal seemed destined for politics, but instead became a novelist. After getting blacklisted in the 40s for writing pioneering gay novel The City and the Pillar, Vidal spent much of his life spitting elegantly phrased, vitriolic truths at the American political establishment. Just before Vidal passed, director Nicholas Wrathall captured the author’s singular wit in candid one-on-one interviews that reveal the volatile genius behind this one-of-a-kind iconoclast and provocateur.

Bullied throughout his childhood for being chubby and gay, Harris Glenn Milstead didn’t seem like a likely candidate for stardom. But when John Waters turned him into the terrifying and glamorous Divine, and cast him in the stillshocking PINK FLAMINGOS, he went from outsider to one of the 20th century’s most legendary cult figures. I AM DIVINE features interviews with key people in Divine’s life, including Waters and the late Frances Milstead, Divine’s mother, plus a wealth of film clips and thrilling footage of Divine’s inimitable live performances. DIVINE is the latest film from esteemed director Jeffrey Schwarz (VITO). PRE-SCREENING RECEPTION: DGA Atrium AFTER-PARTY: Fubar SPONSORED BY

You may know Ian Harvie as Margaret Cho’s opening act, a cross-country headliner or a groundbreaking trans-comedian unafraid to joke about subjects no other comedian has ever touched. Now Harvie (with the help of executive producer Cho) unveils his first-ever live standup comedy special, poking fun at topics from top surgery to his fear of public restrooms to his active sex life. Harvie’s unique act queers the traditionally macho, sex-obsessed world of stand up in ways you won’t believe, proving that laughter cuts across all gender identities and ultimately unites us all.

BOYS’ SHORTS

GIRL FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Our signature collection of funny, super-sexy, entertaining shorts helps us celebrate our love for boys who love boys. Whether it’s confused childhoods, young romance, crushing on best friends, yearning for lost loves or awkward sexual escapades, you’ll be reminded of the wild journey we all share. It may not always be sunshine and roses, but in the end, with a little luck, we always find our inner superstar.

These films tap into tender spots we might run from, fight over or want to keep hidden from view. But our heroines don’t flee from looming threats or shrink from the scary unknown – they face fear or loss head-on, whether with humor or anger, and sometimes with the help of some very precocious friends.

EXPLICIT CONTENT

SAN DIEGO SURF, made in sun-drenched La Jolla in May 1968, was shot with two cameras by Warhol and Paul Morrissey. An unhappily married couple (the ever-loquacious Viva and Taylor Mead) work their way through various beach rats and beauties in a surging quest toward the film’s golden climax. SURF is the last film in which Warhol was directly involved (he was shot by Valerie Solanas one month after principal photography); it was not completed until 1996, when the Warhol Foundation commissioned Morrissey to compose a final edit based on rough prints and existing notes and released the title in 2013. This Los Angeles Premiere screens in honor of avant-garde luminary Taylor Mead, who passed away this May.

TOUCH

CRIMINAL QUEERS

Dir/Scr: Shelly Silver, 2013, USA, subtitled, 68 min.

Dir: Chris E. Vargas, Eric A. Stanley, 2013, USA, 70 min.

After 50 years away, a gay man returns to his birthplace -- New York City’s Chinatown -- to care for his dying mother. Like him, the city has changed and yet the past still haunts his familiar streets. TOUCH is a poignant and lyrical video diary, a tapestry of vérité camerawork, stolen moments and probing observations, challenging the manner in which we engage with the communities that created us and how we embrace and chronicle images of the everyday.

Prison abolition in wigs and heels! In this semisequel to HOMOTOPIA (shown at Outfest 2007), an underground network of radical queers plots to break out co-conspirator Lucy from jail, arrested for being “another young AfricanAmerican male in a dress” – or maybe it was bombing that gay wedding. This political farce, featuring Angela Davis, confronts the prisonindustrial complex, busting everything from the HRC to former S.F. mayor Gavin Newsom while spectacularly springing an entire inmate population from prison.

PLATINUM SECTION

To avoid an X rating, 40 minutes of footage was cut from the controversial 1980 gay slasher movie CRUISING. In a provocative reimagining of this censored material, directors Travis Mathews (I WANT YOUR LOVE) and James Franco create an explicit and steamy documentary film-within-a-film about gay sex and masculinity. As the straight lead, Val, prepares to assume the Al Pacino position, he is forced to confront his own sexual boundaries and discomforts, which flare as he pushes deeper into this iconic gay interior. The film had its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
