Welcome to the 22nd Annual Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival! Wow, what an exciting year this has been. SPONSORS: We have been working extremely hard to bring you the best in LGBT cinema from around the world. We have been recognized PRESENTING SPONSOR by many filmmakers and talent that our festival has a reputation of being a “filmmakers” film festival. We are thrilled to continue this tradition. KJ Mohr our new Program Director is a phenomenal asset to our organization. You will be pleased to see the hard work that she and her committee have put into this festival. AMERICA’S #1 GAY VACATION SPECIALIST We have increased our outreach to all segments of our com- munity including youth and community partners that are often PRODUCING SPONSOR overlooked or taken for granted. We want to bridge the gap by championing global topics that are near and dear to our hearts. Your festival is not just about film; it’s a coming together of our community to share all of our experiences of life as we know it. While we view these films over the next 11 days, let us all be reminded of the struggles, pain, suffering, obstacles and the victories, love stories and happiness that are portrayed on the screen that mirror many DIRECTING SPONSORS of our lives. We will laugh together, cry together, have our thoughts provoked and hopefully come away with a new perspective on life. If only for a couple of hours, let the stories of our films take you away. It has been my pleasure to serve as your President and truly do appreciate all the support that has been given to the festival from our team of volunteers, our board, staff, donors, our sponsors -- espe- cially AlandChuck.Travel — and by you our audience. As we begin this festival, I remind you that this is your festival — a community treasure. Let’s keep this beautiful thing coming back year after year! Enjoy! Ken Hodges, President, Friends of the Festival, Inc. Greetings, TIGLFF-Goers! What a rush! We have just completed the schedule for this year’s CONTRIBUTING SPONSORS festival, and seeing it all fit together makes it clear that you are in for an extraordinary treat. I never expected that making the selections for Michael Brill of the 22nd Annual Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival would be so difficult. But selecting from such an amazing crop of films was a nice problem to have. From the outstanding gay coming of age filmHarvest , to the astounding documentary Angel, to the heartbreaking Iranian feature Circumstance, to the campy yet sincere Married in Spandex, to the all out party of Leave It on the Floor, this festival is truly full of great cinema. You’ll have an opportunity to see 78 films from more than 16 countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, Australia, Indonesia, and Argentina. Close your eyes and take your pick- you’ll land on something great! We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the Tampa SUPPORTING SPONSORS Museum of Art, where you’ll see some of my favorite works of the festival, mind-expanding documentaries that you will not catch anywhere else. The Tampa Theatre will be featuring some of our favorite directors returning with their best work yet, including Casper Andreas’s funny and porn-tastic Going Down in LA-LA Land, Rikki Beadle Blair’s cutting and entertaining Bash- ment, Wendy Jo Carleton’s sweet lesbian musical Jamie & Jessie Are Not Together, and JC Calciano’s modern tech-nightmare love story eCupid. I am absolutely thrilled to join TIGLFF in this banner year for LGBTQ cinema. I look forward to meet- ing you and growing my relationship with the Tampa Bay area. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and engaged board, staff, and volunteers. And we wouldn’t be anywhere without YOU- our community and our audience. A very special thank you to our members and sponsors who make this festival possible. And finally, thank you to the filmmakers, who overcome shoestring budgets and dozens PARTNERS of other obstacles to share their passion of storytelling with us in the form of the extraordinary features, documentaries and shorts that we will enjoy at this year’s film festival. See you at the festival!

Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

    Becoming Youth: Coming of Age in Shakespeare and Marlowe by Rachel Prusko A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Rachel Prusko, 2014 Abstract While studies in Renaissance childhoods, literary and historical, are becoming more prominent, this work has failed to distinguish between children and adolescents, leaving youth, as such, largely unexamined. My project attends not to the children of early modern drama, but to post-pubescent characters in their teen years, and argues that many plays literalize the ‘re-naissance’ of teenagers (‘adolescents’ or ‘youths’ in early modern England), reimagining what it meant to be young during a period when discourses surrounding youth were already clearly, yet crudely, defined. This thesis is a historicized analysis of young characters in several plays: Marlowe’s Edward II, and Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, Pericles, The Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest. I argue that these plays intervene in the standard definitions so frequently applied to teenagers during the early modern period. The perception, on the one hand, of youthful behavior as violent, reckless, and rash was commonplace: Protestant preachers and moralists of the day insisted that young people were naturally prone to sin, rebelliousness, and unruly behavior, and so required strict regulation. On the other hand, optimistic portrayals of youth abounded as well: the age of youth was associated with hope and beauty as often as it was with folly and sin.

  • Best Practice Highlights
    Best Practice Highlights Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and people who may be questioning their sexual orientation or sexual identity (LGBTQ) Prepared by Robert Paul Cabaj, M.D. The LGBTQ Population There really is no single LGBTQ community, rather a very diverse population that comes from all racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, and geographic backgrounds. People who are LGBTQ may move to urban areas, if they can, where there may be a sense of greater acceptance and personal safety. It is very difficult to know the percentage of people who identify as LGBTQ. Stigma and the fear of biases contribute to an underreporting of actual sexual orientation. Some people may also self-identify one way even if their internal desires or sexual behavior imply a different orientation. Identify issues may be especially pronounced for LBGTQ people from particular racial and ethnic minority groups. Significant History – Events which influenced the community and contextualize assessment and treatment Understanding the history of the LGBTQ community both in American society and within the profession of psychiatry is essential in bringing context to treatment. Some major milestones have contributed to the civil rights of LGBTQ people and to greater acceptance. First, the Stonewall riots of 1969 have become the historic launching point for gay rights. In 2003, the Supreme Count struck down sodomy laws across the county with their decision in Lawrence vs. Texas. In 2013, the Supreme Court decision on United States vs. Windsor led to the same sex couple being allowed to share the same federal benefits as opposite sex couples, ending the Defense of Marriage Act.

  • Gender and Sexuality in Adaptations of Shakespeare Organizer: Deanne Williams, York University
    SAA Seminar: Gender and Sexuality in Adaptations of Shakespeare Organizer: Deanne Williams, York University. 1. The Fiendlike Queen: Recuperating the Feminine in Modern Adaptations of Macbeth William C. Carroll Boston University Terry Eagleton’s notorious comment – “To any unprejudiced reader – which would seem to exclude Shakespeare himself, his contemporary audiences and almost all literary critics – it is surely clear that positive value in Macbeth lies with the three witches. The witches are the heroines of the piece, however little the play itself recognizes the fact” (William Shakespeare, p. 2) – is just one of many attempts in recent decades to recast the witches in a more positive light, an effort that has had considerable success. Lady Macbeth has proven to be a harder case to rehabilitate, at least on the stage (as seen recently in Kate Fleetwood’s harrowing depiction with Patrick Stewart in Rupert Goold’s version). In adaptations of the past century, however, especially those written by women and those for younger readers, a very different picture of the “fiend-like queen” has emerged. These representations move far away from earlier texts in which “Lady Macbeth” is little more than a synonym for a murderous woman. Several recent works instead seek explanation or rationale for her participation in Duncan’s murder through reference to her earlier marriage and son by that marriage (both suppressed in Shakespeare’s play), to her situation as a woman in a culture of Celtic masculinity, and even to a supposed daughter (Klein) with whom Lady Macbeth (not dead in this version!) is ultimately reunited.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
