So this is our invitation this year - binge on us! We are even going to make it easy with daily passes that are an excuse to skip work and all your responsibilities of the day and get lost in ideas and excitement. And this year we have excitement!” The Opening Night Gala returns to the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium at the Dalhousie Arts Centre ​ ​ on Thursday, September 13 at 7 p.m. Splinters, directed by celebrated Halifax filmmaker Thom ​ ​ Fitzgerald, has been selected as the Festival’s Opening Night Gala presentation.

    Tab Hunter Confidential, LLC. “TAB HUNTER CONFIDENTIAL” FEBRUARY 25, 2015 TRANSCRIBED BY: WORD OF MOUTH (RL) [00:00:26] TAB HUNTER : I would go out occasionally to a cocktail party and I was fascinated by all of what I saw there. There were a few guys dancing with a few guys, a couple of gals dancing with a couple of gals. It was just a party and people were dancing and having a good time. Parties like this were illegal. [00:00:53] And then the next thing I know the cops came in. Doors burst open, there they were. They were arresting a bunch of, uh, queers. They took us down to the police station. You know, I thought oh my God, this is terrible. I thought what would my mother think of my being arrested? Will it affect this career that I’m trying to get started in motion pictures? [00:01:27] An attorney, Harry Weiss appeared. He was well known for taking care of situations like that with many, many Hollywood people. He said you gotta be a lot sharper than you are. You’re in Hollywood now, you want to be an actor, and really laid down the Tab Hunter Confidential - 2 law to me. And then I was released. I had no idea it was gonna jump up and be thrown out at me years later. [00:01:57] [FILM CLIP] DICK CLARK : Here’s the young fellow you’ve been waiting for. Ladies and gentleman, Tab Hunter.

  • The Culture of Queers
    THE CULTURE OF QUEERS For around a hundred years up to the Stonewall riots, the word for gay men was ‘queers’. From screaming queens to sensitive vampires and sad young men, and from pulp novels and pornography to the films of Fassbinder, The Culture of Queers explores the history of queer arts and media. Richard Dyer traces the contours of queer culture, examining the differ- ences and continuities with the gay culture which succeeded it. Opening with a discussion of the very concept of ‘queers’, he asks what it means to speak of a sexual grouping having a culture and addresses issues such as gay attitudes to women and the notion of camp. Dyer explores a range of queer culture, from key topics such as fashion and vampires to genres like film noir and the heritage film, and stars such as Charles Hawtrey (outrageous star of the Carry On films) and Rock Hudson. Offering a grounded historical approach to the cultural implications of queerness, The Culture of Queers both insists on the negative cultural con- sequences of the oppression of homosexual men and offers a celebration of queer resistance. Richard Dyer is Professor of Film Studies at The University of Warwick. He is the author of Stars (1979), Now You See It: Studies in Lesbian and Gay Film (Routledge 1990), The Matter of Images (Routledge 1993) and White (Routledge 1997).

  • Jerry Douglas's <I>Tubstrip</I> and the Erotic Theatre of Gay Liberation
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu Legitimate: Jerry Douglas's Tubstrip and the Erotic Theatre of Gay Liberation by Jordan Schildcrout The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 30, Number 1 (Fall 2017) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2017 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center From 1969 to 1974, after the premiere of Mart Crowley’s landmark gay play The Boys in the Band (1968) and before the establishment of an organized gay theatre movement with companies such as Doric Wilson’s TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence), there flourished a subgenre of plays that can best be described as gay erotic theatre. While stopping short of performing sex acts on stage, these plays featured copious nudity, erotic situations, and forthright depictions of gay desire. In the early years of gay liberation, such plays pushed at the boundaries between the “legitimate” theatre and pornography, and in the process created the most exuberant and affirming depictions of same-sex sexuality heretofore seen in the American theatre. Some of these works were extremely popular with gay audiences, but almost all were dismissed by mainstream critics, never published, and rarely revived. The most widely seen of these plays was Tubstrip (1973), written and directed by Jerry Douglas, whose career in the early 1970s was situated squarely at the intersection of legitimate theatre and pornography. An analysis of Tubstrip and its groundbreaking production history can illuminate an important but often overlooked chapter in the development of gay theatre in America. Tubstrip (which can be read “tub strip” or “tubs trip”) is a risqué farce set in a gay bathhouse, written by “A.

  • Abrir Volumen I Universidad Complutense De Madrid Facultad De Filología
    ABRIR VOLUMEN I UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID FACULTAD DE FILOLOGÍA VIDA Y OBRA DE JUAN ANTONIO CASTRO ABRAHAM MADROÑAL DURÁN VOL. II TESIS DOCTORAL 1992 532 CAPITULO VI.4. LA CRÍTICA A LA CONDICIÓN HUMANA. Integran este grupo, según nuestra opinión, las obras Ejercicios en la noche(l97l), Fiebre(1974), El puñal y la hoguera(19fl), Nata batida(19T1), La espera(1978> y Los sábados sagrados(1960 incompleta). Es uno de los grupos más importantes para nosotros por la calidad de las obras en él incluidas. Todas ellas censuran un comportamiento humano, bien sea la ambición desmesurada, la envidia profesional, la maldad o el comportamento irracional y egoísta, pero siempre desde una mirada comprensiva. La validez intemporal de estas críticas quiere ser reforzada en estas obras mediante su localización fuera de España en general: Londres, Viena, Orleans, la antigua Grecia,etc. Excepcionalmente hay también aquí lugares propios de nuestro país, como los que aparecen en Nata batida, pero también en este caso la obra pretende evadirse de la circunstancia concreta y apuntar hacia el papel de la mujer en general. Estas obras son las más naturalistas que escribió nuestro autor y muchas de ellas alcanzaron los escenarios comerciales, 533 y algunas con un éxito respetable (El puñal y la hoguera le mereció al autor el prestigioso Premio Palencia y fue una de las obras de las que siempre se sintió más orgulloso). En casi todas hay un argumento lineal, en el que es muy frecuente encontrar la confusión entre realidad y ficción <Ejercicios en la noche es quizá el ejemplo más evidente, pero también se aprecia en la confusión entre locura y verdad en Fiebre y no digamos en El puñal y la hoguera).

  • * I AM DIVINE Presskit
    Automat Pictures, Inc. Presents Divine was my close friend and fearless muse. Who else could convincingly turn from teenage delinquent to mugger, prostitute, unwed mother, child abuser, fashion model, nightclub entertainer, murderess, and jailbird? All in the same movie? That’s why I am giving my full blessing to a new documentary feature film, I AM DIVINE, to be directed by award-winning filmmaker Jeffrey Schwarz. - John Waters 2 TIP SHEET Title I Am Divine Genre Documentary Running Time 85 Minutes Format HD Aspect Ratio 16:9 (1.78) Sound Stereo Lt/Rt Shooting Format Panasonic AF100, Canon 5K Mark II Editing System Final Cut Pro Copyright 2013 Producer / Director Jeffrey Schwarz Producers Lotti Pharriss Knowles, Lance Robertson, Jon Glover Editor Phillip J. Bartell Composer Michael “The Millionaire” Cudahy Co-Producers Stan Duran, Paul Marcarelli Associate Producers John Alexander Foxworth, Josh McCullough, Michael O’Quinn, Taryn Teigue, Eric Weber Logline The story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, and how he became John Waters’ cinematic muse and an international drag icon. Synopsis I Am Divine is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I Am Divine is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.

  • Mongrel Media Presents
    Mongrel Media Presents Written and directed by Thom Fitzgerald 2002 Atlantic Film Festival Winner of 4 awards, including Best Canadian Feature and Best Direction Canada, 2002, 95 minutes Distribution 109 Melville Ave. Toronto, Ontario, Canada M6G 1Y3 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR Tel: 416-488-4436 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] Synopsis Set in the hauntingly beautiful city of Bucharest during a cull of stray dogs, The Wild Dogs weaves together a week in the lives of several of the city’s residents and visitors. Geordie (Thom Fitzgerald), a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan (Mihai Calota), a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie (Alberta Watson), the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest's abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars. 2 Production Notes From the Director… “Why did I want to make a film about dogs? (furrows his brow to think, then)…I like dogs. Life has taught me that all men are dogs and all women are bitches. Not every day, of course. But often enough to make a good movie about it. When you strip away the luxuries of wealth and culture, and see people struggling to survive, it confirms that people are animals. And then if you look closer, even when they are rich and cultured, they’re still animals. I was working in Romania on a teen slasher movie. The Hollywood executives kept calling and asking for the pretty young actresses to wear tighter shirts and more make-up.
