[NYC]: 'The Bi Eye on Queer Film' - Thursday, October 23rd 2008
The NYC LGBT Community Center, BiRequest and the Bi Writers Association present a program of funny and provocative short films that walk the borderline between bisexual/pansexual, gay/lesbian and hetero/homoflexible.
How does the “bi eye” alter the perception of queer films? How does the “gay/lesbian eye” differ in point of view? How does your orientation affect the way you perceive a story? How do these stories portray bisexual and fluid characters?
Bring your opinions! Bring your friends! People of all orientations encouraged to attend.
6:00 PM to 7:00 PM Reception
7:00 PM to 9:30 PM Program
Films
A woman is enticed by a seductive couple to explore a polyamorous bisexual relationship in Make Room for Phyllis; two men go Mano A Mano, a couple trying to Hold Up a convenience store hits an unexpected snag and a girl accidentally kisses a frog, sparking a magical visitation in A Fairy Tale.
The Best Men revisit the past and each other at a wedding; a suburban housewife must face an adulterous affair she had years ago, when it comes back to haunt her -- as her son’s new girlfriend in Happenstance; two dolls confront their emotions after a night of unforgettable passion in Operated by Invisible Hands, two high school kids experiment in After School Special and a mock 50’s style educational film is a send-up of biphobia in Shady Bi.
$5 suggested door contribution. Free snacks and cash bar.
