Outfest 25th Anniversary Series
FILMS BY SU FRIEDRICH:
DAMNED IF YOU DON'T / HIDE AND SEEK
1987, USA, 16mm, 42 min./ 1996, USA, 16mm, 63 min.
In DAMNED IF YOU DON'T (Outfest 1988) Su Friedrich investigates the themes and connections between women, sexuality, personal relationships and religion in an innovative and graceful film that addresses a taboo subject: a young nun and her sexual attraction to another woman. Winner of the OUTstanding Documentary Feature in 1997, HIDE AND SEEK explores the fertile terrain of lesbian childhood and prepubescence in a 12-year-old girl living in Brooklyn in the mid 1960s. Her story is artfully interwoven with interviews of 20 adult lesbians who recount their most vivid memories of emerging sexuality, girlhood crushes and first fantasies.
IN PERSON: SU FRIEDRICH
IN COLLABORATION WITH: REDCAT

here! Networks presents:
LESBIAN SEX AND SEXUALITY
Dir. Katherine Linton, 2007, USA, 90 min.
Award winning filmmaker Katherine Linton offers an unblinking and authentic look inside the world of lesbian culture in this provocative new documentary series, where the subjects of lesbian sexuality and desire are celebrated. In a nation where sexuality in general is taboo, lesbian sex, lust and sexual representation are even more marginalized.
By visiting writers, academics and "sexperts," and going inside sex shops, erotic dance clubs and lesbian-owned porn companies, this series goes beyond mass appeal to find out what really turns on lesbians and perhaps any woman who has ever had a same- sex fantasy.
POST-EVENT RECEPTION HOSTED BY: ABSOLUT

Outfest 25th Anniversary Series
BURNT MONEY (PLATA QUEMADA)
Dir: Marcelo Pineyro, 2000, Argentina, 35mm, 125 min.
This torrid crime thriller from Argentina - a sort of gay BONNIE AND CLYDE - is likewise an incendiary depiction of desperate and explosive passions. Notorious bank robbers and lovers Nene and Angel - known as "the twins" for their matching and stunning good looks - have reached a dizzying pinnacle in their career and relationship. Preparing for their greatest heist, they are beset with anxieties. When breaches of security jeopardize their safety, the threat of the authorities and their bullets proves just the fuel to re-ignite their burning love. Based on a fantastic true story, BURNT MONEY scorches the screen with action, drama and erotic passion.

That is exactly what happens in small towns in northeastern Mississippi, as you'll witness in this insightful, courageous examination of small-town gay life. SMALL TOWN GAY BAR is an enchanting tribute to the brave, creative and passionate owners and patrons of these establishments, where just existing can be a triumph.
