The Road, based on Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving movie: 
&#34;An unnamed man (Viggo Mortensen) and his young son (Kodi Smit-McPhee)  travel alone through a post-apocalyptic landscape, ravaged by an  unspecified catastrophe. Ash and soot hang in the air, it is cold  enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is grey. The sky is  dark, the cities abandoned and empty, the roads littered with corpses,  the countryside deserted save for marauding gangs eating human flesh to  survive.&#34;
Appropriately enough, The Road opens in the US on Nov. 25. Mortensen, I should add, is a potential [...]]]></description>

Dirk Bogarde, James Fox in The Servant (top); The Damned (bottom)

&#34;Among the greatest  things that happened to British cinema were the arrival on our shores  of the Korda brothers in the 30s, Losey in the 50s and Kubrick in the  60s,&#34; reads the introduction to an upcoming Joseph Losey series, which runs June 1-July 23 at the bfi Southbank in London.
The Wisconsin-born (on Jan. 14, 1909) Ivy Leage-educated Losey became a political refugee following the post-World War II anti-Red hysteria. He fled to Britain where he would remain for the next three decades until his death in 1984.

Out Late



Directed by:
Beatrice Alda, Jennifer Brooke


Country:
USA


Year:
2008


Running time:
62min



&#160;
A truly inspiring and important film about the experiences of LGBT  elders, specifically those who have come out in their sixties and  seventies. There are stories about coming out in church, discovering  The L Word for the first time at eighty and transitioning from male to  female after a lifetime in the navy and raising a family. The film  movingly explores the difficulties and liberation of discovering  sexuality later in life and in particular highlights the often  unsuccessful search for life partners in a world that places so much  value [...]]]></description>

Following the sudden death of her son Mathieu in a car accident,  Camille (Catherine Deneuve) reaches out to his best friend Franck in an  attempt to cope with her loss and gain a focus for her pain.

Ulrike Ottinger

1989

&#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>

The mayor of New Paltz however didn’t agree and performed 26 gay  weddings one sunny afternoon, beginning a wave of civil disobedience.  Whether you are the marrying type or not, only the hardest of hearts  could fail to be moved by this clever and touching film about love,  commitment and pissing off George [...]]]></description>

Before Stonewall



Directed by:
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>

Madame X &#8211; An Absolute Ruler



Directed by:
Ulrike Ottinger


Cast:
Tabea Blumenschein


Country:
West Germany


Year:
1977


Running time:
141min



&#160;
Adventure and fun on the high seas comes at a price for this band of  stereotyped women, who answer a call to join Madame X on her ship  Chinese Orlando and experience a life without rules and patriarchal  tyranny. However old roles reassert themselves and the women find  themselves swapping one kind of servitude for another as Madame X  demands complete devotion from her shipmates, even the ones she is  enamoured with.
An early low-budget film from renowned avant-garde filmmaker  [Ulrike] Ottinger, who actually took all crew positions [...]]]></description>

&#160;
Julia, a two weeks pregnant 25-year-old student is sent to prison for a  crime she may or may not have committed &#8211; the murder of her boyfriend&#8217;s  male lover. No one can remember what happened that night, and as Julia  adjusts to life inside prison walls, gradually commanding respect from  other inmates on the &#8216;maternity&#8217; wing and developing a tender and  loving relationship with fellow internee Marta, she not only has to  fight her wrongful incarceration, but also for her son Tomas, born  inside prison and due [...]]]></description>

Born in 68



Directed by:
Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel


Cast:
Laetitia Casta, Yannick Renier, Yann Trégouët 


Distributor:
Peccadillo Pictures


Country:
France


Year:
2008


Running time:
170min



&#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>

Patricia Charbonneau,  Helen Shaver in Desert Hearts

The British Film Institute will screen four films with (at least some) gay content in their &#34;Out at the Pictures&#34; series in the next two months. The four titles are: Desert Hearts (1985), Get Real (1998), Julia (1977), and Crustacés et coquillages / Cockles and Muscles / Cote d&#8217;Azur (2005). The series will also feature &#34;Generations of Love,&#34;  an intergenerational panel discussion. (See full schedule below.)
Based on Pentimento, Lillian Hellman&#8217;s 1973 book of (highly fictionalized) memoirs in which Hellman discusses her close friendship with a woman named &#34;Julia,&#34; Julia is my favorite Fred Zinnemann film. Jane Fonda can be quite actressy, but her Lillian Hellman is perhaps her most sober, self-contained characterization, [...]]]></description>

On the festival&#8217;s website, there are plenty of festival images, information on the screening films, and several interviews with film personalities, among them Anna Boden &#38; Ryan Fleck, Nandita Das, Albert Serra, and Barry Jenkins.
Below are four films being screened on Sunday, October 26. Those represent only a small sample of what will be available  to Londoners every day until October 30.

Kinky voyeurism of yesteryear: A couple learn about it by watching a wild bird-bunny-bee orgy.

&#34;The Joy of Sex Education&#34; at the bfi Southbank:
&#34;Running the gamut from syphilitic soldiers in WW1 to puberty pep-talks for girls to the government&#8217;s infamous AIDS awareness campaigns, this jaunt through 90 years of sex education films aims to enlighten, entertain and, above all, encourage you to subjugate your passions for the moral health of the nation.
&#34;Many of the early films highlight Britain&#8217;s horror at the very thought of sex and sexuality. Euphamisms [sic] abound and, if you can get away with making your point with the aid of a few birds or rabbits, why not?&#34;
