A screening of the new film "Studzmen" from M.Power Productions about black lesbians, especially dominant and male-identified lesbians sometimes known as "studs," comes to Midtown Art Cinema on Thursday at 7:15 p.m.

In an interview, co-director Onyx Keesha of Atlanta said the film is "about brotherhood, connections, growing up and feeling captive to your past or the old you. It is about temptation and growing into your manhood."

Spring films mostly eye candy in theaters; more LGBT fare on TV, DVD
by Steve Warren   
April 26, 2013 00:00

Spring films

If you’re going to the movies in the next couple of months you’ll find LGBT content severely limited, although gay men in particular will find even more eye candy than usual (if you like the muscular type) in the “summer” blockbusters. (Hollywood’s summer begins earlier every year. Last week’s Tom Cruiser, “Oblivion,” arguably kicked off Summer 2013.)

The gayest movie of the season, and possibly the year, is “Behind the Candelabra,” which premieres on HBO May 26. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (whose lesbian noir “Side Effects” comes to DVD May 21), it stars Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his young lover, Scott Thorson (we didn’t have “partners,” let alone husbands, in those days).

In the days before Stonewall, flamboyant pianist Liberace was the first celebrity the word “queer” brought to mind, even though he denied being gay to avoid scaring off his fan base of little old ladies. With a style of dress that Elton John later adopted in a toned-down fashion, he made Paul Lynde look butch!

Out on Film announces 2013 festival dates, ‘Divine’ first flick
by Ryan Watkins   
March 28, 2013 11:00

Divine 

Organizers of the Out on Film festival today announced the 2013 event would take place Oct. 3-10. Also announced was the festival's first secured film, the documentary biopic “I Am Divine.”

From the film's official description:

I AM DIVINE is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I AM DIVINE is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.

‘Breaking Through’ chronicles the rise of LGBT politicians
by Ryan Watkins   
March 14, 2013 11:53

Breaking Through documentary

“Breaking Through,” a documentary focused on LGBT politicians, makes its Atlanta debut at the Atlanta Film Festival, screening March 20 at the Plaza Theatre.

While the Atlanta Film Festival is not the world premiere of “Breaking Through” — that happens March 16 at the Sun Valley Film Festival in Sun Valley, Idaho — director, writer and producer Cindy Abel hails from Atlanta and will share her completed project with her hometown for the first time.

Abel, whose LGBT political activism includes stints as co-chair of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and executive director of Georgia Equality, says she came up with the idea with Allen Thornell, a well-known Atlanta LGBT leader who passed away in 2009. The pair discussed ideas including a documentary on U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), but someone was already working on that project.

A ‘Pink Peach’ of a film festival
by Steve Warren   
March 14, 2013 00:08

Atlanta Film Festival

One of the queerest mainstream film festivals this side of Berlin, the Atlanta Film Festival begins tonight and runs through March 24 at the Plaza Theatre and 7 Stages in Little 5 Points.

LGBT content overflows the annual Pink Peach competition into other sections of the festival and features everything from the premiere of a locally made documentary to films from around the country and around the world.

A common thread this year seems to be that films are about journeys, not destinations. It takes all or most of “Pit Stop” and “Mosquita y Mari” to bring couples together for relationships that may continue for 50 years or 15 minutes.
