The Gay Dating Game

CONTENT WARNING:

Tommie Saeli

15 min

The below-the-belt humor of this send-up of the popular TV show The Dating Game keeps the Gay Dating Game in a fixed weekly spot on Manhattan cable. Host Tommie and "hostess" Lahoma are outrageous as the matchmaker emcees of this campy game show. The girl-meets-girl half of the 30-minute program will be featured here.

Not to be confused with the gay porn classic Pink Narcissus, Pink Ulysses is the latest Dutch treat from director Eric de Kuyper (A Strange Love Affair). Pink Ulysses is an intoxicating brew of muscular bodies, operatic tableaux and music from Zarah Leander to Stravinsky's 'Rites of Spring.' In fact, if Pink Narcissus were re-made for the '90s, this cultish cross between a Steve Reeves sandal-and-sword epic and a homoerotic Homer would probably be the mind boggling result. Pink Ulysses redefines camp for the MTV generation with wit and saturated color. A knockout kickoff to this year's festival!

A homoerotic exploration of the Odyssey mixing black and white, color, and old film clips.

When a newspaper photographer returns to his home in Montreal from a conscience-raising assignment in Nicaragua, he discovers both his boyfriend and his girlfriend have left him for each other. Emotionally distraught, he begins a journey of self-discovery that eventually leads him into an affair with a handsome daf mute and full acceptance of his own homosexuality, as well as a new political awareness. A stunningly crafted film.
