Reel OUT: LGBT Film Festival
12:00PM By Hook or By Crook
A buddy film that chronicles 3 weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small town butch with a nagging messiah-complex and a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birthmother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of ‘poise under pressure’ in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted anti-authoritarian tale of friendship and redemption.

4:30PM The Trip
An ambitious epic romance that traces the course of two men through their initial meeting as teenagers in 1973 until the mid 80’s. Alan is a member of the Young Republicans and an aspiring journalist. He’s working on a book about the evils of homosexuality, and invites Tommy, a gay rights activist, over for dinner and to interview him for the book. Thus begins a friendship that leads to a love affair told against the background of Anita Bryant, radical politics and the emerging gay rights movement. A huge audience hit during its festival and National Theatrical release, THE TRIP is a funny, touching, and powerful film.
