Pariah (2011) (87 min)
From the LA Times (12/28/11) "At its soulful heart, Pariah is a
stinging street-smart story of an African American teen's struggle
to come of age and come out — to the father who still calls her
"daddy's little girl" and the mother who quotes the Bible and
buys her pink frills."
Tuesday 5/1: 7:00-10PM, VB204 (free)
Rahne Alexander's Equal + Opposite.
From the early silents of Lubitsch to The Crying Game and beyond, gender-variant characters persistently provide cinematic shock upon the revelation of their “true sex.” Turning the focus away from the gender-variant body, “Equal+Opposite” instead explores the range of physical and emotional reactions by “protagonists” to transgendered bodies, from curiosity to revulsion.
Matilda Bernstein Sycamore & Gina Carducci All That Sheltering Emptiness www.mattildabernsteinsycamore.com
All That Sheltering Emptiness is a meditation on elevators, hotel lobbies, hundred dollar bills, the bathroom, a cab, chandeliers, cocktails, the receptionist, arousal, and other routines in the life of a New York City callboy. All That Sheltering Emptiness explodes the typical narratives of desire, escape and intimacy to evoke something more honest.
