AT GAY AND LBIAN INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL

Ask Dennis Popl, the founr of San Anton's gay and lbian film ftival, Out at the Movi, to talk about the issu gay and lbian film ftivals face natnwi and right away he says, "homophobia.

" Directors and programmers of gay and lbian ftivals New York, Los Angel, and San Francis don't clu homophobia anywhere on their lists.

Neher do Stt Dger or Sandra Martez, the artistic and executive directors, rpectively, of the At Gay & Lbian Internatnal Film Ftival (aGLIFF), even though last year, aGLIFF's 10th year, a billboard pany refed to accept an aGLIFF billboard ia whose tagle stated "Baptist Fundamentalists Wele, " and s prter refed to prt what emed were racy photos the aGLIFF program. In fact, we ma the Christian Coaln newsletter this month and one of the thgs that they said that we did was that the ftival lerature `portrays suggtive homosexual pos, ' and we lgh about and 's funny but 's still very ser. From that perspective, the issu that Dger, Martez, and other gay and lbian ftival programmers do mentn - like fdg and cludg larger proportns of lbian featur, fundg, and reprentg the entire spectm of the muny - seem more luxuri than potential setbacks.

THE AT GAY AND LBIAN INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL

And the film is kd of like a semi-gay Silence of the Lambs that there's some really graphic stuff there but 's still a good film. This year, Martez beme the first and only paid staff member for what has steadily bee a larger, more prehensive ftival, by far and away the Southwt's most tablished and succsful gay and lbian ftival. Michael Lumpk, who has been the director of the San Francis Internatnal Lbian & Gay Film Ftival for 15 years, the largt the world wh 75, 000 atten this past June (last year aGLIFF unted 10, 000 atten), says, "There are lbian and gay ftivals New York and L.

Chief among those, acrdg to Shannon Kelley, the programmer of Outft: The Los Angel Gay & Lbian Film Ftival, is "the sort of mastreamg of gay culture and of gay films, which is a double-edged sword. It's of urse nice to thk that reprents a pot of arrival that there are gay films major theatre chas, and at the same time there's a theoretil qutn about how gay those films actually are. " It is nice to see movi like last year's In & Out make money and be treated on a par wh other seasonal fare, yet there's no nyg Kelley's assertn that for gay and lbian filmgoers there's somethg missg the way that Hollywood films treat gay subject matter.

At the same time, they don't know exactly what the science of that is and so they may get a film and they have no ia whether 's gog to hurt them or help them to play a gay ftival.

AT GAY & LBIAN INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL 2021

It might even be the gayt film you've ever heard of but they thk, `My gosh, if 's intified wh a gay ftival, I'm gog to margalize my dience and all that crossover that I wish I uld get I'm not gog to get now. '" Bee he owns the Dobie Theatre, Dger is particularly nversant wh the way distributors thk of gay and lbian featur: "The distributor will basilly say [to the filmmakers], do not take any more ftivals. And so 's the kd of semi-mastreamg of gay and lbian films that's a b of a threat.

AT GAY AND LBIAN INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL

They know that there's only so big of a market for the gay or lbian films and they're not makg anythg off of by showg at a ftival, so 's straight cents and dollars.

AT GAY AND LBIAN INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL

But also chief among the issu facg gay and lbian film ftivals natnwi is the apparent arth of lbian featur, which actually has been a cricism of aGLIFF the past - that didn't feature enough lbian films. " Kelley sums up by sayg, "Most of what's ma the general world and the gay world is fanced by whe guys and viewed by whe guys and nsumed by whe guys. " Basil Tskos, programmg ordator for the New York Lbian and Gay Film Ftival (aka The New Ftival), ncurs that, "'s harr for women to get accs to film.

The shorts programs are genr-oriented, which is somethg of a dilemma for gay and lbian ftival programmers. What Outft's Kelley says about his ftival's atten is equally te of aGLIFF's: "A lot of folks, jt our dience, see a lot of mastream gay featur as ncerng issu that they nsir to be kd of behd them or that they've already digted. " Advertisg Age reporter Michael Wilke will reveal the gay imagery mercials, and porn filmmaker Wash Wt and porn star Jim Buck ment on "what pornography, a smarter and sexier world, uld be like.

aGLIFF's programmers strs that the "ternatnal" aGLIFF's tle is more apropos this year than the past, particularly wh the cln of Dakan, the first Wt Ain feature film to openly treat homosexualy; fact, the film had to be shot secrecy Guea. One shorts program, Yellow Fever, is voted entirely to gay Asian sensibili.
