November 4, 6:15pm
This globe-trotting real-fantasy follows the larger than life journey of Filipina 'lady-boy', Queen Raquela, from street-worker in Cebu to internet celebrity in Paris, via Iceland and New York on the way. Winner of the prestigious Teddy Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008, THE AMAZING TRUTH ABOUT QUEEN RAQUELA virtually defies description. |

November 5, 8:30pm A determined trip from the west to the middle east ignites one of the most joyous expressions of sportswomanship you’ll ever see. Football Undercover follows a Berlin women’s soccer team as they struggle against relentless bureaucratic odds to make a dream come true – to travel to Tehran to play the Iranian women’s soccer team, who have never been allowed to compete with an international team before. This group of sporty women just want to kick around a field and make some new friends, but when cross-cultural politics come into play, this game might not be so easy. While in Tehran the largely Lesbian team from Kruezberg must observe strict codes of conduct: homosexual sex is forbidden, and when on the field, players must wear hijab at all times. Funny, thrilling and inspirational down to the final goal. |

November 6, 8:30pm Under Iran's current fundamentalist laws, homosexuals can be arrested, tortured and even put to death. Changing your gender however, is completely accepted and indeed subsidised by the state. So what do young gay men do when offered the choice between being incarcerated and disowned by their family or living a free life as a woman... they join the long waiting list for gender reassignment surgery. This is a powerful insight into a cultural climate that, whilst providing a service that many genuinely transgendered people would ache for, has created a situation in which homosexuality can be virtually eradicated. |

SPECIAL PRESENTATION November 8, 8:30pm
The frisky foursome from Another Gay Movie return in this much anticipated new romp. Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! takes that story to the next level as the boys head out on spring break in Fort Lauderdale and get caught up in a truly wild contest to see who can get laid the most before the vacation ends. Throw in lots of gratuitous nudity and more hilarious pop references than you can keep track of —from Beach Blanket Bingo to Mean Girls and beyond — cameo appearances by RuPaul, The Lady Bunny and adult performer Brent Corrigan, and you’ve got a film that actually manages to be more gay than the original ‘gayest movie ever’. |
