Queer Guide to Sundance

Updated 1/13/05

With literally hundreds of films to see in Park City, we thought you might be interested to know where and when the films with queer themes or by queer filmmakers would be playing. We’ve certainly missed films that include gay characters, queer subtext and artistic ideas that will appeal to all, so don’t be afraid to explore the many other films at Sundance this year, but in case you want to have the gayest possible time, here are the screenings you don’t want to miss.

Utah residents can buy tickets two days prior to others on January 8 and 9 at Trolley Square or Park City’s Gateway Center.

Check festival.sundance.org for information.

Here are the best films with gay or lesbian content:

The story is set inside the rarefied world of the Hollywood elite. A fledgling screenwriter is offered a million dollars for a script—the personal story of his lover who died of AIDS.

The Education of Shelby Knox
Documentary Competition

The Lubbock, Texas, high school Shelby Knox attends maintains a strict Abstinence Until Married sex education policy, even though the county’s teen pregnancy and STD rates top the chart. We meet the precocious Shelby in her sophomore year. She is instantly recognizable as a good girl with a supportive family, someone who has a natural propensity for doing the right thing and asking hard questions. She sees it as the duty of her city-sponsored youth organization to reform the school’s sex-ed policies. As the town polarizes, Shelby is labeled “the Sex Ed Girl” by local media, but she is unflappable, and for the next three years, we follow her along a path of personal awareness and self-taught activism. Her way’s not easy because two of her role models are her father, a self-proclaimed conservative Republican, and a youth minister of True Love Waits, a national movement to “save” young people for their wedding night.

Vigilantly guarded, she sublimates her own desires out of a stoic sense of duty and a reluctance to impose on Alan’s generosity. When Alan’s estranged adult son Michael comes for a visit, an intuitive bond develops between them that destabilizes her tightly ordered world. Michael becomes a mirror that allows her to see herself and new possibilities.

Happy Ending
Premiers

Happy Endings is a wildly original and supremely self-conscious comedy by a filmmaker, Don Roos, who clearly embraces the complexity and ambivalence of modern life. If you thought you knew all about love, relationships, and contemporary American families, guess again. With its exorbitant wit and nonstop surprises, Happy Endings combines original storytelling with original stories that fundamentally question our presumptions about the way real America lives.
The multiple narrative lines include a filmmaker blackmailing a woman about a son she long ago gave up for adoption; a gay man whose partner was, or perhaps wasn’t, the sperm donor for two of their best friends, a lesbian couple; and a 30-something girl who shacks up with a young man trying to convince his father he’s straight and then moves on to the dad.

Inside Deep Throat
Premiers

Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato are consummate documentary filmmakers who continually exhibit the bravery and courage to take on taboo subjects. This time their sights are set on the cultural impact of the 1972 adult film Deep Throat. Made for less than $25,000, it is considered the most profitable film of all time. When it was released in midtown Manhattan’s adult theatres, it became a flash point for an unprecedented social and political firestorm. Bailey and Barbato take us through a fascinating history spanning nearly 30 years, traversing the sexual revolution and the war on pornography and charting the chasm between the modest intentions of the filmmakers who made Deep Throat and the unforeseen impact and legacy their film left on society.

The Jacket
Premiers

Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) seems to have a date with destiny as he miraculously escapes death on the Gulf War battlefield and returns to his native Vermont. Unfortunately, Starks’s war scar is amnesia, a condition that prevents him from defending himself when he’s accused of murder. He lands in an asylum, where Dr. Becker (Kris Kristofferson) is developing an experimental treatment to alter criminal behavior involving a drug cocktail and straightjacketed visits to a body drawer in the basement morgue. The treatment transports Starks through time, where he finds love with Jackie (Keira Knightley). He also foresees his death and, as he traverses back and forth through time, he wonders what can be done to unlock his and others’ doomed destinies.

The Joy of Life
Frontier

Jenni Olson’s sensual and contemplative first feature is a sublime visual poem of San Francisco that is as emotionally engaging as it is scandalously informative. Through an experimental mix of documentary and narrative storytelling, Olson seductively invites the viewer to roam spaciously through a stunning series of urban landscapes while imparting a multilayered meditation and history of the fog-shrouded city. The story begins quietly with a tale of urban development and is taken over by the verbal diary of a butch dyke murmuring intimately about her secret lustings, insecurities, macho bravado, and loneliness. Renowned poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti sets the city as an illustrious and anchorless place on the Pacific before the diary narrative attempts to salve the pain of a dear friend’s death by obsessively mapping out the complicit role the city has played in establishing the Golden Gate Bridge as the number-one suicide landmark in the world.

Lackawanna Blues
Centerpiece

In segregation-era Lackawanna, New York, Rachel “Nanny” Crosby is a larger-than-life human miracle whose big and generous boarding home is a place where drifters and dreamers, eccentrics and excessives can always find a hot meal and a new start. Into this world comes Junior, a little boy Nanny takes in and raises as her own. Nanny’s love and the stories from her boarders’ damaged and haunted pasts irrevocably change the young boy’s life. Wolfe has crafted a simply magical film filled with so much music, dance, and sexual energy that it explodes like a musical. Lackawanna Blues is at once a coming-of-age story, a portrait of a golden age gone by, and an illumination of the fruits born from love and charity.

Mark makes a pilgrimage to a small coastal town to save the endangered loggerhead turtles that nest there.

When Elizabeth’s safe, sheltered neighborhood starts to change around her, she must decide whether to stand by her minister husband’s beliefs or take a stand on her own.

Good heavens! The reefer is driving the good citizens of one small town totally out of their minds. Thank goodness a federal agent shows up at the local high school to show naïve parents the horrific, horrendous fate that awaits youngsters who fall victim to the unspeakable scourge of (gasp) marijuana.

Little does he know that the slick dancer at the soda shop hasn’t invited him over to learn to fox-trot. Will Jimmy lose his mind and his girl?

Ring of Fire : The Emile Griffith Story
Documentary

The year is 1962, when "even Liberace was thought to be straight." What if--in the toughest, most brutal, most macho of all sports, boxing--the six-time welterweight champion of the world was really a closeted homosexual? Ring of Fire, Dan Klores and Ron Berger's enthralling new documentary, deftly depicts this very true story. At Madison Square Garden, in a live television broadcast, in a bout labeled the fight of the decade, Emile Griffith pummeled archrival Benny "Kid" Paret unconscious, leaving him in a coma. Paret died in a hospital 10 days later. It was subsequently revealed that during the weigh-in Paret had taunted Griffith, calling him maricón, the Spanish word for "faggot." That match sparked outrage and calls for boxing reform. The sport was pulled from television for the next 10 years. Griffith, who currently lives with his longtime roommate and "adopted son," Luis Rodrigo, is haunted by Paret's death to this day. Skillfully blending current interviews with rare black-and-white fight footage, Ring of Fire skewers the hypocrisy of political outrage, exposes the underside of social and cultural mores, thoughtfully provides a framework for forgiveness, and bravely poses the question: "Who or what is really to blame for Paret's death?"David Courier

Rize
American Spectrum

Rize is an insider look by out photographer-turned-director David LaChapelle at a new form of artistic expression emanating from the streets of South Central Los Angeles. Referred to as “krumping,” the movements include lightning-quick syncopated body gyrations (fast enough to warrant a disclaimer that the film was not sped up). This captivating film centers around a young man who goes by the moniker Tommy the Clown. Beginning as an entertainer at children’s birthday parties, he went on to open an academy devoted to clowning and krumping. Seen as a role model in the community, Tommy has numerous protégés who have stayed out of trouble as a result of their involvement in dance.
