December 22, 2010 Reelout 12 Film Trailers!!! Part One
You can get a good sense of whether you’re going to like a film based on its trailer don’t you think? In most cases, the trailer never truly represents the film in hindsight but at least it did the trick in getting your bum in that theatre seat. A guilty secret of mine is spending a half hour or so watching the latest trailers on Apple Trailers (not a shameless plug but we do like our Mac products here at Reelout!) How many of you always rush to make sure you get to the theatre a few minutes early so you don’t miss the coming attractions? Me three! So for those of us who enjoy a good trailer, I’ve compiled a hearty batch for your viewing pleasure and when possible, have arranged them in order of presentation during the 12th annual Reelout Queer Film + Video Festival. You can read more about the films here
Thursday, January 27th at 7pm STONEWALL UPRISING at Etherington Auditorium.
Thursday, January 27th at 9pm you can catch OPEN at Etherington Auditorium. You can watch this visually arresting film’s trailer at their site here.
Friday, January 28th at 7pm get ready for our opening gala selection, a whiz-bang blockbuster of action and adventure, romance, passion and revenge!!! A FROZEN FLOWER is from South Korea and apparently so are all the trailers for it, but rest assured that the film (a gorgeous 35mm print) will be subtitled for the screening in Etherington Auditorium.
Another subtitled selection (this time a French offering) is Les Garcons de la Plage (BOYS IN THE POOL) by Louis Dupont, a filmmaker who loves his male physique in swim wear! Despite the obvious man candy and lycra appeal of this doc, it is also an interesting look at male synchronized swimming and will be paired with a fabulous doc on the Friends For Life fundraiser that stops through Kingston every year called A REASON TO RIDE. This whole program screens at The Screening Room on Saturday, January 29th at Noon as part of our REALout series.
Stay the afternoon at The Screening Room for the next REALout screening of two docs on LGBT seniors including GEN SILENT by Stu Maddux. This program is Saturday, January 29th at 1:30pm.
On the opposite end of the rainbow spectrum, the 4pm screening at Ellis Auditorium reflects the lives of the youth. Programmed by our youth programmer Shelby McLeod, this epic shorts package entitled The (Queer) Kids Are Alright features 8 stories including one doc made locally (Youth in Transition by Ben Bray and Caleb Seguin); three Canadian works including Mark Pariselli’s (AFTER) ,Sophie Richer’s (AVEC ELLE) and Melissa Brittain, Danielle Peers and Alissa Overend’s (BILL 44: SMALLER CLASSROOMS, SMALLER MINDS.) The shorts compilation also is comprised of shorts by US, Dutch, and Argentinian offerings.
Sexy offerings await both at 7pm and at 9pm for Reelout’s Saucy Saturdays Screenings at Ellis Auditorium. Our 7pm screening features short works about masturbation and will feature live entertainment (wait, that sounds bad when you put the two together) and a panel of sexperts to put it all in context and our 9pm includes the sexy short I WANT YOUR LOVE and the feature doc TOO MUCH PUSSY. We found this trailer for TMP from our friends at the Out on Screen Festival in Vancouver.
There’s plenty to see and do on Sunday, January 30th including multitude of docs, short films and wrapping the evening up at 6pm with not one, but two feature films from the U.K at Ellis Auditorium.
First up is the tear-jerker The Sleeping Beauty of East Finchley
Next up is The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister
Stay tuned after the holidays for more trailers highlighting the next six days of Reelout 12!
