Dreaming of living in a queer Leave It to Beaverstyle household and playing Maria in West Side Story, Tru escapes being in staid Agoura Hills, the San Francisco – not! While dodging football thugs, and Paris and Nicole clones, Tru is astounded when cutie patootie quarterback Lodell comes a-courtin’. Alas, Tru soon discovers she is merely Katie Holmes to his Tom Cruise – but reluctantly continues to be his tight-end. Attempting to resolve her private reality with her queer-positive principles, Tru co-founds a Gay- Straight Alliance group – where she meets hottie hetero hunk, Trevor. Complications ensue, and one queer wedding (and no funerals) later, Tru’s path to true love is anything but straight… Stewart Wade scores a touchdown in this distractingly star-studded feature! A snappy script peppered with catchy emo-indie songs, Tru Loved entertains and inspires with campy characters and cameos from Jasmine Guy (in a truly Different World!), David Kopay, Jane Lynch (The L Word), Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura of Star Trek), Bruce Villanch and Baywatch alumnus, Alexandra Paul. Tru Loved tackles great expectations, homophobia and interracial dating – and the importance of being yourself. [-]

Clapham Junction
Adrian Shergold | U.K. | 2007 | 35mm | 120 min | english

Can a newly-wed avoid being tempted by a guileless waiter at his own civil union? Does that full-lipped young prodigy escape his schoolyard tormentors? Is that doting, well-hung hunk really a closet gay basher? Will a politician come forward to bear witness to shocking violence? Will a smoking teen predator eventually become the prey? Five Altman-esque vignettes knit themselves into a penetrating and provocative portrait of British queerdom. A BBC commissioned piece commemorating the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in England, director Adrian Shergold and theatre wunderkind Kevin Elyot revel in dry wit and wet willies in a full-frontal review of contemporary political and sexual mores. A studly cast headlined by Maurice stalwarts Rupert Graves and James Wilby, Clapham Junction ignited controversy and outrage for relying on gay and straight clichés to create a hard-hitting and haunting examination of homophobia. Inspired by the horrific murder of 24-year-old Jody Dobrowski in 2005, Clapham Junction is a sobering reminder that the price of gay liberation is eternal vigilance. [-]

An intimate and unflinching look at life in Iran, seen through the lens of those living at its fringes, Be Like Others is a provocative look at a generation of young men and women choosing to undergo sex change surgery. In Iran, according to Islamic law, homosexuality is punishable by death. Ironically, sex-change operations are not only legal; they are embraced by a society that accepts male or female but nothing in between. With Dr. Mehrjalali’s sex-change clinic as the arena, director Tanaz Eshaghian finds her subjects among some of the kind, progressive doc’s patients. Perhaps most interesting is 20-year-old Anoosh, who becomes a woman named Anahita, alienating her gay boyfriend Ali. Twenty-four-year-old Ali finds some support from Vida, who’s had her operation and adjusted. The very issue of why Iran’s Islamic laws compel such drastic manoeuvres and adjustments on the part of gay men runs under every scene, making the film a model of non-dogmatic filmmaking on a highly charged topic.

“Are you part of the human race if you’re neither a man nor a woman?” This question opens the film L’ordre des mots, an intelligent exploration of the world of transsexuality, intersexuality and trans identity. At a time when these issues draw more and more attention in the medical community, LGBT movements and in the media, this documentary, created by cousins Cynthia and Melissa Arra, sets a welcome stepping stone between the two extremes of the sacrosanct Through interviews with six transgender and intersex people, L’ordre des mots relates the often-difficult personal stories of people who’ve led complex lives. The documentary takes a critical look at the arbitrary medical protocols employed in France and provides an overview of the work being done by the transgender movements that, in addition to denouncing the oppression and repression aimed at transgender and intersex people, demand that people speak out against the psychiatric and medical discourse that treats transsexuality as an illness. An inspiring and up-to-the-moment work about our relationship to the concept of identity. [-]

Jess (Hannah Hogan) is a suburban twentysomething in a bind. She’s married to Trevor (Shaughnessy Redden), and falling in love with Casey (Tracey Rae), a woman with whom she’s begun a torrid affair. Jess’s nice-guy husband wants to start a family, while Casey wants Jess to come out of the closet and move in with her. Jess’s childhood was filled with threats from her mother about the evils of lesbianism. She’s obsessed with the idea of having a “normal” family, and terrified of facing her deep-rooted desires. Living in a town that seems to have more than its share of homophobes reinforces Jess’s fears, despite the open-armed welcome she receives from the queer community. Jess is damned if she does, and damned if she doesn’t. No matter what, someone’s bound to get hurt. When she learns that she’s pregnant and her affair is revealed, everyone must figure out how to live with the consequences of Jess’s choices. Juicy lesbian drama reigns in this coming out story with a twist. [-]

A charming gaybourhood comes under assault from Victor (Pablo Puyol, 20 Centimetros), a real-estate psychopath. Meanwhile, a rash of apparent suicides by elderly women in the area attracts the attention of an unusual detective team: Full-time phobia queen Mila (Rosa María Sardá, Todo Sobre Mi Madre) and son Luis (Eduardo Soto). Leonardo and Rey, an adorable bear-cub, blue-collar couple with relationship troubles, face mounting pressure from Victor to sell a flat Rey has recently inherited from his deceased neighbour. Making things worse, Rey insists that his malicious and meddling mother, Antonia (Spanish grande dame, Concha Velasco) move in. Amidst the mayhem and mishaps in Madrid, a serial killer sets his sights on Antonia, and Victor eventually may emerge victorious… Juan Flahn’s madcap suspense movie inadvertently tackles ageism and “A-Gays”, class and clone wars, gentrification and guppies, and materialism and misogyny. Chuecatown offers full-frontal fun about gay men being their own worst enemies in this queer screwball tribute to Almodóvar, Oristrell and Salazar. [-]
