IMAGE&NATION XX11,

October is LGBT History Month so it is fitting that IMAGE&NATION is holding their 22nd season October 22 to 01 November this year. Back at the familiar venues of: Imperial, Goethe-Institute, and de Seve this season features over 50 films in eleven days and nights. There are options from single tickets to multiple ticket passes for the avid movie goer.

I've seen some good films over the years but never have I seen so many consistently great films as this season. Here are a few coments on those that I've seen to date:

DREAM BOY; Coming out to yourself, boy love story with a sentimental twist. 3.5 chubbies.

REDWOODS; A beautifully photographed production, slow and steady moving story of love, fidelity and loyalty. A real twist ending that will bring a tear to your eye. 4.5 chubbies.

DARE; Originally presented as a short film that won awards, it has had an evolution and is now a full feature. Definitely should be seen by adolescents and is appealing for all. A cast of familiar faces who deliver quality performances. 5 chubbies.

OY VEY! MY SON IS GAY; Filled with star power, kitch and cliché, this is very funny take on coming out to the family. Reminisant of the Italiano culture shocker 'Mambo Italiano' this time fusing Italian with Jewish. 4.5 chubbies.

BEYOND GAY: The politics of Pride; This is why we still need and have pride events. If we don't continue to fight for the equal rights as citizens of the world, we could loose them. 4 chubbies.

EATING OUT #3: All you can eat; An appetizing guilty pleasure... -A high level camp farce that is well cast with great eye candy and performances. Hysterically laugh out loud fun! +5 chubbies.

Planning to take in a few more films this week: SHANK 3 chubbies; PORNOGRAPHY 4 chubbies. There are plenty of choices and numerous foreign language presentations scheduled. Go to image-nation.org for programming information.
