This short film program includes the following films:

Allegory

CONTENT WARNING:
Allegory is the representation of a girl's struggle with her dreams and desires as they conflict with her warped belief system and austere worldly assumptions.

True Colors: Out Youth Theater

CONTENT WARNING:
A short documentary on the True Colors: Out Youth Theater. This is a community program of The Theater Offensive, and is a theater troupe for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning youth and their allies (LGBTQA), ages 14 to 22, dedicated to presenting an honest portrayal of the lives of LGBTQA youth. Twice a year, during the fall and spring school terms, True Colors recruits a culturally diverse theater troupe of 10-12 GLBT youth and their allies. A team of artists and teachers guide troupe members in creating a new theater piece based on their lives and experiences.

Charades

CONTENT WARNING:
A found footage montage that celebrates boy/girl identity and lesbian sexuality.

I'm On My Cell Phone

CONTENT WARNING:
Debut of Peter Pizzi's new music video for Nicky Click.

Kaden Later

CONTENT WARNING:
Partly animated documentary examining the life of Kaden, an F to M Transsexual and his girlfriend, Monica. For Kaden, a trans guy in his early thirties, top surgery gave him the body he wanted. Now, as he and his girlfriend Monika plan their wedding, he must figure out how he fits into society, not as female or male, but in a space in between.

Middle Ground AKA ""Eat Your Heart Out Mary Martin.""

CONTENT WARNING:
Nico Alba interviews several subjects, asking them all the same questions: try to define and clarify today's definition of androgyny. Then they are all asked to share their experiences through personal stories. A sharp, clever investigative film.

B-Fay's Blog

CONTENT WARNING:
Local artist Ife Franklin creates an online blog persona that is the subject and the purpose behind her art. B-fay thinks of herself as the "Ghetto Griot," the "Ghetto" Gwen Ifill. And she has a "few thangs to say." B-Fay is witty and smart. She is "real," she is "true." and she is "gangsta!"

Children of God

Sun, May 16 @ 7:00 pm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Lead actress Margaret Laureena Kemp and Producer Trevite Willis in person
The Boston LGBT Film Festival is proud to present Kareem Mortimer's debut feature film Children of God as our closing night film. A smash hit at it's screening at the BFI London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, where it sold out the largest cinema in the city, the Odeon in Leicester Square, we are honored to host the New England premiere of this stunningly beautiful story of love and homophobia in the Caribbean. This is a film not to be missed. Lead actress Margaret Laureena Kemp and Producer Trevite Willis will be in attendance.
Johnny, a white Bahamian artist from Nassau, is depressed and creatively uninspired. Under instructions from his teacher, he relocates to the rural island of Eleuthera, where he meets the confident Romeo, a local boy who inspires a new creative drive in him. Johnny and Romeo embark on a passionate love affair, but when Romeo's fiancée and overbearing mother arrive at his home unannounced, he is asked to make some important decisions about his life and his relationship with Johnny. Meanwhile, Lena, the wife of an ultra-conservative pastor, also arrives on the island. With her marriage on the rocks, and a growing realisation that her husband is not who he appears to be, Lena sets out on a campaign to spread her anti-gay policies among the quiet community. As Lena's crusade gathers momentum, she is challenged by her friend Reverend Ritchie, a liberal clergyman who forces her to question her beliefs and to re-evaluate her rigid political stance. Sweepingly romantic and gorgeously photographed, the film's aesthetic and emotional pleasures are undeniable. In positioning this classic tale of young love against a backdrop of violent homophobia and social unease, director Kareem Mortimer has also crafted a striking examination of identity and gay politics in the Bahamas, tackling these weighty issues with a confidence and sincerity that makes the film universal in its themes. Emerging from a region not known for the production of gay film, Children of God is an important and bold piece of work, signalling Mortimer as a hugely promising talent in the future of world cinema.
