twincityhackerPaginas de Menina - Portugal - Alex and I were of two minds of this movie. I thought it was crap, as it was choppy and werid and I think I laughed at the wrong places. Alex thought it was full of symbolic imagery and wonderful.
The Bond - A father talks about his lovely transgender daughter, and answers the basic questions one has to ask the families of transgender people, such as "how could you miss that your son was really your daughter?" I liked it because the movie showed how much Michael loves Maycala very much.
I Never had Sex - Short based on the game "I never." The film was only three minutes long so it was good.
Just Me? - A lesbian who thought she was the only gay one in her very, very large family finds out about her great-grandmother's other life before she came to help with the kids. I sympathized with the film maker, because I ofter wonder what my great-uncle Frank was like.
La Nouvea Monde - France - Lesbian babyfic. No, seriously, it's lesbian babyfic - lesbian wants baby, convices partner to want a baby, and wackiness ensues.
Chueca Town - Spain - Chueca Town is the equivalent of Boystown in Madrid. It's about a gay relater who kills little old ladies to sell their apartments. I walked out. In addition to being hungry and tired and the technical difficulties that made the screen go to a very appropriate lavender-pink, I could have sworn I had seen it before. If one of the main character's was cast as a woman, with the same lines, the crowd would have not have liked it as much for the gay bashing. It also failed the Bedchel test hard, and only one female character was not portrayed as crazy. In other words, I found it fail that night, and left, and so I missed the three shorts following that feature.
This afternoon I went to the "Pre-Revolutionary Queer: Gay Art and Culture Before Stonewall" exhibit at the Kinsey Institute. I have never seen more cock on display in my life, and I live on a campus that cock is a favorite graffiti sign.
My three favorite pieces was a hermaphrodite with a man's head on a distaff, a rather darling picture of two men in bed where one is flopped over the other reading the newspaper on the floor, and somewhat ying/yang set up of a black man and a white man cuddling. Other interesting items included nude portrits done in the style of famous greek statues, a small comic book with Donald Duck, and some fanart of Batman cuffed to a pole while watching Catwoman top Robin who's tied up. And some early brochures and zines of the homophile movement.
And if you guessed that there would be less than ten pieces that were of other queer flavors than gay, you'd be right. And two of those were lesbian porn made for male consumption, two pulp books, and picture of Gertrude Stein.
I skipped the afternoon showing of "Gay, So What?" showing and panel discussion because I still kind of bleh, and my already short focus is shot and in no mood for subtitles and academic discussions.
