&#160;
All aboard the Trans-Siberian railway where you&#8217;ll find titled  ladies, Broadway stars, camp cabaret acts and a Mongolian princess who  has come to kidnap them all. This sumptuous epic from Ottinger ranges  from the obvious artifice of a studio film to an almost documentary  realism when the film moves from train to the glorious vista of the  Mongolian landscape. As the culture clash between the Western women and  their Mongolian &#8216;hosts&#8217; intensifies a sweet love affair blossoms  between the princess and the young Giovanna, [...]]]></description>

Greta Schiller, Robert Rosenberg


Distributor:
Peccadillo Pictures


Country:
USA


Year:
1984


Running time:
87min



&#160;
25 years ago this film felt like a revelation of a hidden gay  history. Conventional wisdom had defined the modern movement for gay  liberation from the riots at the Stonewall Inn in New York, however,  this film shows just how much activism and creativity haad been going  on before 1969. A dazzling line-up of interviewees includes poets,  writers, political organizers, dancers, actors who bear witness to a  life before Stonewall, including Allen Ginsberg, Audre Lorde, Barbara  Gittings, Harry Hay, Ann Bannon and many more. 
The courage and bravery of those [...]]]></description>

France


Year:
2008

&#160;
Festival favourites Martineau and Ducastel return to the LLGFF with an  epic drama covering life and sexual politics in France. Friends and  lovers caught up in the excitement of May &#8216;68 at the Sorbonne  eventually leave Paris for a communal life in the country. The  collective seems at first like a fairytale of left wing hippydom. But  principles are betrayed as members of the commune drift away to  bourgeois careers. Laetitia Casta gives a great performance as the  central figure, Catherine, loved by [...]]]></description>

Dolls



Directed by:
Karin Babinská


Cast:
Marie Dolezalová, Sandra Nováková, Petra Nesvacilova


Country:
Czech Republic


Year:
2007


Running time:
99min



&#160;
This debut feature from Karin Babinská is a beautifully made and  poignant coming of age tale, about three best friends from high school  embarking on their last summer together before going their separate  ways at summer&#8217;s end. Iska, struggling to understand her burgeoning  sexuality and why she feels different from other girls, has been forced  to join her little brother Vojta at a summer camp for athletes. Whilst  he can back flip and somersault like a pro, the timid Iska can barely  hold her own against a punch [...]]]></description>

The Naked Civil Servant



Directed by:
Jack Gold


Cast:
John Hurt, Liz Gebhardt, Patricia Hodge


Country:
UK


Year:
1975


Running time:
85min



&#160;
This dramatization of Quentin [Crisp]&#8217;s first volume of autobiography won  BAFTAs for its director Jack Gold and its star. John Hurt gives a  dazzling performance as the young Quentin, a flame-haired flamboyant  homosexual when such things were not permitted. It contains much of the  wit and wisdom of Quentin and celebrates a life lived in a refusal to  conform. The highlight is Quentin&#8217;s impassioned speech from the dock  when charged with soliciting for an immoral purpose. 
Plus an interview with Bernard Braden filmed in 1967. Previously  [...]]]></description>

To celebrate Bette Davis&#8216; centenary, Dr. Martin Shingler will give &#34;an illustrated lecture on Bette&#8217;s movies and why gay men and lesbians love her so.&#34; (Talk about a sweeping generalization&#8230;)

Many consider Irving Rapper&#8217;s Now, Voyager (1942) the best Bette Davis vehicle of her Warner Bros. years. I&#8217;m not one of those many. I find it overlong and overwrought, featuring one of Davis&#8217; most unconvincing acting jobs of that period. 

Robert Aldrich&#8217;s What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) is my favorite of the Grand Guignol movies of the 1960s.
