Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema
Self
A chronological look at films by, for, or about gays and lesbians in the United States, from 1947 to 2005, Kenneth Anger's "Fireworks" to "Brokeback Mountain". Talking heads, anchored by critic and scholar B. Ruby Rich, are interspersed with an advancing timeline and with clips from two dozen films. The narrative groups the pictures around various firsts, movements, and triumphs: experimental films, indie films, sex on screen, outlaw culture and bad guys, lesbian lovers, films about AIDS and dying, emergence of romantic comedy, transgender films, films about diversity and various cultures, documentaries and then mainstream Hollywood drama. What might come next?
Who's the Top?
Editor
Is Alixe and Gwen's sexual disagreement the cause of their problems, or are their problems the cause of their sexual disagreement? And how should an artist nurture her vision: by seeking adventures on the edge or by staying home and writing poems? What's more real, our fantasies, or what we actually do? In Who's the Top? there are no right answers, just musical numbers.

파리 이즈 버닝
Director
1987년 뉴욕, 흑인과 라틴계 게이, 트랜스젠더들이 이끌었던 ‘드래그 신’에 관한 영화. ‘볼‘의 참가자들은 그들을 거부했던 가족을 대신해줄 '하우스'를 중심으로 활동하며, 경쟁하는 카테고리에 따라 의상을 입고 분장을 하고 포즈를 취하는 등 역할에 적합한 ’진실성‘을 표출한다. 성별 이분법적이고 이성애 중심적인 사회가 만들어 놓은 언어로는 규정되지 않는 ‘불온한 존재’들을 그린다.
