Frameline38 Program Announced
Frameline38 features 214 films from 31 countries; beyond films, our lineup of special thematic programs, dynamic parties, discussions, and other exciting events brings together filmmakers, actors, producers, artists, screenwriters, and movie lovers from here in the Bay Area and all around the world.
In addition to our phenomenal Opening Night, Closing Night, Centerpiece and Showcase films, this year we’re delighted to host a special series of film screenings and panel discussions titled New Storytelling in LGBT Cinema, an exploration of the future of queer film, covering topics of digital distribution, new cinematic approaches to gay history and biography, and the growth and support of queer women filmmakers. This program is proudly supported by the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences.Given the past year’s dramatic and disturbing changes for queer people in Russia, the Festival will shine a spotlight on LGBT Films in Today’s Russia, including two features, a shorts program, and the documentary CAMPAIGN OF HATE: RUSSIA AND GAY PROPAGANDA, which will be followed by a discussion including filmmaker Michael Lucas and out Russian American journalist Masha Gessen.Other highly anticipated documentaries at Frameline38 include Nancy Kates’s REGARDING SUSAN SONTAG, the Alec Baldwin-produced COMPARED TO WHAT: THE IMPROBABLE JOURNEY OF BARNEY FRANK, and BORN TO FLY, about choreographer Elizabeth Streb and her Extreme Action Company. Frameline is also proud to have provided Completion Funding to six exceptional Frameline38 films: APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR, BACK ON BOARD: GREG LOUGANIS, KUMU HINA, OUT IN THE NIGHT, STICKS & STONES, and TO BE TAKEI.
Appearing in Frameline38 films are such diverse talents as Robin Williams, Mo’Nique, Nia Vardalos, Alec Mapa, Christina Ricci, and Tilda Swinton. Peruse the Festival website, mark up your program guide, plan some dates with your friends, and get ready for the most exciting time of the year! Tickets go on sale to Members this Friday, May 23, and to the general public on Friday, May 30. Please note: The Frameline38 Box Office is now located at 575 Castro Street (between 18th and 19th) inside the HRC Action Center & Store. |
