Himself
What do filmmakers as disparate as Kevin Smith, Ed Burns, Rob Epstein, and Barbara Hammer have in common? A secret weapon known as Bob Hawk. As a veteran of the American independent film scene since its inception, the cinephile and consultant has been a regular, cherished presence at film festivals and markets for over three decades. Hawk saw promise in scrappy, independently produced films like Clerks and The Brothers McMullen when no one else even knew to look, and he brought these films to the attention of the Sundance Film Festival, thereby launching multiple careers in the process. An unsung champion of new voices, he has discovered innovative work, nurtured new talents, and brokered relationships with film festivals and critics alike, while staying out of the spotlight—until now. At 75, Bob Hawk looks back on a still-vibrant life in independent film, exploring how the rebellious gay son of a preacher found his calling as a behind-the-scenes film impresario.

When AIDS struck in the early 1980s, a scientist and a movie star did not have to respond - but they did. Dr. Mathilde Krim and Elizabeth Taylor joined forces to create amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. The fight against HIV has never been the same. The Perfect Host reveals how two powerful and very different women came together, and what their combined efforts achieved. With passion and wit, Taylor wielded celebrity as a weapon against government indifference while Krim's commitment to science ensured support for the most promising research areas. Today, the only man cured of AIDS can thank research championed by Mathilde Krim. Visually dazzling and emotionally compelling, this story offers a surprising perspective on the still ongoing fight against AIDS.

En los años 20, Berlín se había convertido en un paraíso homosexual, donde gays y lesbianas vivían relativamente al descubierto dentro de una subcultura de artistas e intelectuales. Con la llegada al poder de los Nazis, todo cambió. Entre 1933 y 1945 100.000 hombres fueron arrestados por ser homosexuales, bajo el cargo de sodomía, según el artículo 175 del Código Penal alemán de 1871. En 1997 los directores Robert Epstein y Jeffrey Friedman fueron a Amsterdam para la presentación de su película "El Celuloide Oculto". Allí conocieron al Doctor Klaus Müller, un historiador Alemán y Director del Proyecto Europeo del Museo Memorial del holocausto de los Estados Unidos, y se propusieron sacar esta historia oculta a la atención internacional. Narrada por Rupert Everett.

More than two dozen men and women of various backgrounds, ages, and races talk to the camera about being gay or lesbian. Their stories are arranged in loose chronology: early years, fitting in (which for some meant marriage), coming out, establishing adult identities, and reflecting on how things have changed and how things should be.
