AUNTIE MAME
DIR. Morton DaCosta, 1958, USA, 35mm, 143 min.
We're thrilled to ring out yet another year with an Outfest holiday tradition, the AUNTIE MAME extravaganza! Beloved comedienne and camp icon Rosalind Russell (GYPSY) commands center stage as eccentric socialite Mame Dennis, who throws the best parties and throws back the stiffest martinis you've ever seen. America's favorite rich and eccentric relative, acting as a protector to a lonely young nephew, bravely faces the ravages of poverty, snobby stuffed shirts and romantic rivalry to emerge like a phoenix from her own ashes. Join a high-spirited audience of Mame-lovers as we celebrate the glory of Rosalind Russel and a magnificent supporting cast in this raucous, riotous, interactive screening of a movie masterpiece. This evergreen portrait of fabulousness is a queer classic to end all queer classics!

WTC VIEW
DIR: Brian Sloan, 2005, USA, video, 102 min.
Brian Sloan (Outfest's '97 opener I THINK I DO) returns with this warm, moving human drama about friends and neighbors rebuilding a shattered world. Eric is a cute young man who, until September 11, 2001, enjoyed a reasonably happy life in New York, in a nice apartment with a glorious view of the World Trade Center. Since that date, he has been hiding out in his apartment, processing the tragedy - as well as the recent losses of a boyfriend and a roommate. Encouraged by his friend Josie to shake it off and get back into life, his real chance for renewal comes as he meets with potential new roommates, who bring the craziness of urban life, and even the possibility of tenderness and love, back into his life.
