Opening Night
6:30pm The Baby Formula
Double the bellies, double the fun!! Wives Athena and Lilith want to have a baby…without the ingredients that only a man can supply! Somehow they succeed but when their family and outsiders find out, their relationship is tested. Pregnant with humor and warmth, THE BABY FORMULA is a fresh take on what make’s a family. An outlandish mockumentary. (Dir. Allison Reed, Canada, 81 min)
8:30pm HUMPDAY
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Ben and Andrew two reunited (straight) friends get together and plan to enter a film in an amateur porno film festival. But what to film? Stuck, they can only come up with one idea: have gay sex on camera! They convince themselves that “it's not gay; it's beyond gay. It's not porn; it's an art project.” And there's nothing standing in their way - except Ben's wife Anna, heterosexuality, and certain mechanical questions. Will they? Won’t they? Humpdayexpertly mines the biggest ironies of the male ego to hilarious effect. HUMPDAY is a buddy movie gone wild. (Dir. Lynn Shelton, USA, 100 min, 35mm)
“Not many films leave you with this much to puzzle. You’ll want to create your own sequel, if not make your own art house porno.” --- D.J. Palladino: Santa Barbara Independent.
"Taking a hilarious premise and making it feel real, like this film does, is the greatest trick in comedy." --- Joel Stein, Time
10:30pm Rocky Horror Picture Show
Sponsored by Gay & Lesbian Business Association
It’s Friday the 13th! Let's do the Time Warp again! Join Brad and Janet as they enter the one and only world of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Put on those fishnet garters and learn the Time Warp with the most outrageous crowd in town -- and on the screen. Sing along is permitted and encouraged. Showing all it's queerness in a glorious 35 mm print. (Dir. Jim Sharman, USA/UK, 100 min, 35 mm)
