Beyond Biba
Purchase Tickets: Member |

Directed by Louis Price
UK, 2009, 55 minutes, video
Fort Lauderdale Premier
 
2pm Gateway Cinema
 
Barbara Hulanicki will always be remembered for BIBA, the shop that changed the face of UK fashion in the 1960's and 70's. A phenomenon in the truest sense of the word, BIBA has left an indelible mark on the history of British fashion. It was not only the place where celebrities like Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Twiggy shopped but where arguably the most powerful figure in the world of fashion, infamous editor of Vogue Anna Wintour (the devil in The Devil Wears Prada) got her start.

Just as Barbara was a key ingredient in the cultural explosion that occurred in London in the 1960's, she also found herself at the birth of the incredible regeneration of Miami Beach in the late 1980's and 90's. Barbara still resides in Miami Beach, and continues to work as one of the most respected interior designers in the United States.

Offering a rare insight into Barbara Hulanicki today by sharing her memories from the impossible glamour of BIBA to the murder of her father and taking us on an intimate tour of her home, her studio, and South Beach itself.

We witness Barbara's amazing sketches gain entrance to a private exhibition of them attended by friends and fans like the Rolling Stones Ron Wood and super-models Kate Moss and Twiggy.

Beyond Biba is an all access portrait of an overlooked and elusive artist who refused to merely give up and live in the shadow of the past.

The Amazing Truth about Queen Raquela
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
Directed by Olaf de Fleur Johanesson
Iceland, 2009, 80 minutes, video
South Florida Premier
 
2:30pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
Raquela is a transsexual - or "ladyboy" - from the Philippines who dreams of escaping the streets of Cebu City for a fairy tale life in Paris. Raquela dreams of marrying a heterosexual man from the West. She spends much of her time on the internet looking for men who can come and rescue her. They promise to come, but time after time Raquela gets stood up at the airport.

In order to make her dreams come true, she turns from prostitution toward the more lucrative business of Internet porn. Her success as a porn star brings new friends, including Valerie, a ladyboy in Iceland, and Michael, the owner of the website Raquela works for.

Valerie helps Raquela get as far as Iceland. From there, Michael offers her a rendezvous in Paris. Will Paris be everything she dreamed of? Will Michael turn out to be her Prince Charming?

This unique and entertaining film prompted Premiere Magazine to remark "Queen Raquela is not about sex-change operations or identity quests, but the touching, dreamlike, quasi-autobiographical tale of Raquela Rios, a transsexual Cebu City prostitute who longs to leave the Philippines, meet a nice straight man and visit Paris."

 

Wrecked
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
Directed by Bernard Shumanski & Harry Shumanski
USA, 2009, 73 minutes, video
South Florida Premier
 
4:30pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
An edgy drama about a gay teen's tumultuous decent into drugs and anonymous sex, Wrecked smashes cinematic taboos while it spins its cautionary tale. Heralded by newyorkcool.com as "A Provocative and hypnotic film that, like, Shortbus dares to take risks and cross lines."

Ryan is an earnest 18-year-old trying to develop a career as an actor and getting his life on the right track. This course is quickly threatened with the sudden arrival of his sort-of ex, Daniel, who arrives at
Ryan's door wanting a place to stay and offering the promise of a normal, loving relationship. But Daniel's drug addiction and attitude towards casual sex derail any hope for normalcy and soon ensnares Ryan in his own downward spiral.

An edgy, raw, and explicit film that combine handheld cameras, a hot young cast and a boldly upfront approach to sex to make Wrecked a unique film experience.

 

Out Late
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
Directed by Beatrice Alda & Jennifer Brooke
USA, 2008, 63 minutes, video
South Florida Premier
 
4:30pm Gateway Cinema
 
LGBT cinema is not lacking for films that deal with the process of coming out, but the experiences of those who come out late in life is a topic that we rarely see. Partners in business and life, Beatrice Alda and Jennifer Brooke's have created an exceptional feature length documentary. Out Late examines the lives of the elderly gay and lesbian community.

The film introduces five individuals who made a decisive change after the age of 55; to come out as lesbian, gay, or transgender. Why did they wait until their golden years to come out and what has that process been like? What was the turning point that caused each of these people finally to openly declare their sexuality?

MTV Networks remarked "Out Late' is a powerful documentary that reveals emotional, untold stories from a formerly silent generation. It's a liberating experience watching this well made film, for it teaches us that it's never too late to seize the day and live your life to its fullest."

This film delves into the personal journeys of men and women from Canada, Kansas and even Florida. We find out what ultimately led these dynamic individuals to make the liberating choice to pursue fully integrated lives.

This film will strike a chord with all audiences, and moved feminist icon Gloria Steinem to remark "This film is very very moving--and so important." 

PRECEEDED BY:
JUST ME, Dir. Amy Neil, U.S., 2007, video, 22 min. When a distant cousin remarks to filmmaker Amy Neil that she might not be the only lesbian in the family, Amy turns to a century-old stockpile of vintage family photographs that reveal her great grandmother "Nanna" had an interesting hidden life.

In Bears, we delve into the world's leading "bear pageant"-the 10th Annual Mr. International Bear Contest. We follow winners from six various local pageants as they prepare to compete for the international title. The competitors run the gamut from Scottish ex-boxer to a former Marine turned horse trainer to a shy, middle aged father.

Our contestants will be tried, tested, united, divided, fondled, and spanked as they vie for the title of Mr. International Bear. for an experience best described by Inside Out Film Festival as "Spellbound with half-naked bears instead of school children spelling."

More than just a contest, we experience the ins and outs of bear culture and discover the universal hardships and triumphs through their eyes.

And Then Came Lola

USA, 2009, 70 minutes, video
Directed by Ellen Seidler & Megan Siler 
South Florida Premier
 
7pm Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
This wonderfully fun and sexy lesbian romp takes a whiz bang tour through the streets of San Francisco as photographer Lola races to get to a crucial meeting on time. As usual, Lola is running late. Her job and her girlfriend Casey are in jeopardy and Lola only has a few chances to make the right decisions (ala the art house classic, Run, Lola, Run). As Lola races against the clock is possible that Casey is falling into the arms of her ex? Will Lola make the right decision in enough time or will she lose it all.

Bursting with creativity and fresh cinematic style this film packs in everything we want in a lesbian movie: Beautiful women, a great script, superb acting, and an exciting soundtrack of hot new music.

And Then Came Lola is a hilarious laugh-out-loud reflections on lesbian life depicted through brilliant direct-to-camera "therapy" sequences.

Brought to the screen by lesbian co-directors Ellen Seidler (Et L'Amour) and Megan Siler (The Midwife's Tale), the film has a terrific lesbian/bi cast of sexy girls. Featuring Ashleigh Sumner (as the irresistible Lola), one of the most charismatic new lesbian actresses we've seen in years. "A completely fun, frantic treat for the eyes.", says AfterEllen.com And Then Came Lola is not to be missed.

 

DROOL

USA, 2009, 84 minutes, video
Directed by Nancy Kissam Fort Lauderdale Premier
 
9pm  Las Olas Riverfront Cinema
 
In the politically incorrect but hysterical DROOL, Nancy Kissam creates a comical explosion of interracial lesbian romance, husband killing, teenage oral sex and glamour makeovers that will appeal to men and women alike.

Anora spends her days taking care of her emotionally unavailable, abusive husband Cheb and her disrespectful teenage kids Tabby and Little Pete. All the while she is daydreaming of an imaginary romance which embodies everything she wishes could be in her unfulfilling relationship with Cheb? Trouble brews when Anora's new next-door neighbor, the vivacious Imogene Cochran, pops in for coffee.

The two women quickly bond to the dismay of her family. After one too many cups of Folgers, Imogene enters into Anora's fantasy world. Just as Anora and Imogene are about to consummate their newfound feelings, Cheb catches the two in a compromising position that starts an avalanche of events that sets the gang on the road to Savannah.

The moral ambiguity and flippant attitude toward issues of domestic violence, racism, sexual harassment, murder and betrayal are all part of the dark yet hilarious world of Drool.

9:15pm Gateway Cinema
 
Get ready to clean up the whole plate!? This entirely new story in the Eating Out collection offers plenty of over the top sex-romp rowdiness with a delightful dose of pure romance that made the first two films into cult favorites. Rebekah Kochan returns as Tiffani, the infamous, loveable, hysterical and funny "slut" who attempts to help her geeky but very cute friend Casey find true love - or at least a sexy hunk. 

Taken under Tiffani's wing, Casey pretends to be Ryan, Tiffani's hot, straight, stripper ex-boyfriend, in order to seduce the smoldering Zack online, which works, until the real Ryan shows up!

Only through some fancy footwork, advice from his Aunt Helen (John Waters Cult Icon Mink Stole) and mentor Harry (Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan), and a daring provocative sexual escapade can Casey figure out how to set things right and perhaps even find the love he's been seeking.

Eating Out 3 introduces six hot, openly gay actors in lead roles. Don't miss these gorgeous guy, always in some state of undress as they navigate through the zany and funny world of Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat.

 

Nights in Black Leather
Purchase Tickets: Member | Non-Member
USA, 1972, 100 minutes, dvd from a new 16mm print
Directed by Richard Abel
RETROSPECTIVE SCREENING
 
11pm Gateway Cinema
 
Few names or faces are more emblematic of 1970's gay life than that of porn icon and artist Peter Berlin. Nights in Black Leather is both an exciting erotic romp and a time capsule of gay life in San Francisco circa 1972. Peter Berlin stars as himself, a German immigrant walking around looking for adventure.

Originally titled Post Haste Hustle, the film was renamed Nights in Black Leather by the distributor and went on to become an international sensation, playing for months at adult cinemas in the US and Europe. Initially released as starring "Peter Burian" the star changed his name to Peter Berlin (to avoid a lawsuit with an actor of the same name) and thus the legend was born.

For decades no known intact 16mm negative or print existed and the film was thought to be lost. An original negative was recently discovered in Southern California and was used to create a brand new 16mm print, We owe gratitude to the Legacy Project Film Preservation venture of Outfest and the UCLA Film & Television Archives for the restoration and preservation of this film.

Slip on your harness, sitback and enjoy this late screening of Nights in Black Leather.
