6:20 pm - Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same

In a witty mashup of Grade-Z science fiction, Woody Allen-esque comedy, and 1990s independent queer cinema a là Go Fish, three lesbians from the planet Zots land in New York’s East Village. Two of the Zotsian exiles, promiscuous Zylar and needy Barr, explore Internet dating and try to comprehend Earthling culture. Meanwhile, their compatriot Zoinx falls head over heels for Jane, a stationery store clerk sweetly oblivious to the fact that she’s dating an alien. In between jaunts to Coney Island, revival movie houses, and iconic lesbian bars, they’re stalked by a pair of mysterious “men in black” agents.

8:20 pm - Romeos

The world is young and constantly in flux in the mesmerizing, stylish, sexy Romeos. The film chronicles one long, hot summer in the life of 20-year-old Lukas, who is hiding a major secret. When he arrives in Cologne for his year of civil service, he’s mistakenly put in a dorm for girls—where the only redeeming feature is his old best friend, the confident lesbian Ine. With Ine’s help, Lukas is soon swept into a whirl of dance clubs, parties, and joyrides, where he begins an intricate bid to woo the gorgeous, cocky Fabio without revealing too much. Through all the sweat, tears, revelations, and gyrations, both friendship and love will be tested.
