CONTENT WARNING:

This film is a chronicle of painter Frida Kahlo, and her encounter with the personalities of her time. Despite being confied to a wheelchair as a result of polio, operations and amputations, she faces and traces some of the most colorful and controversial aspects of Mexican history, during the dominant time of Mexican muralism.

This film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.

A lush and reflective portrait of the turbulent life of Frida Kahlo, Mexico's flamboyant artist and wife of muralist Diego Rivera. Told in engaging flashbacks, Frida recalls Kahlo in all her roles: a stirring public figure, political activist, bold individualist and one of this century's most expressive painters.

The infamous Leopold-Loeb murder case has been the inspiration for two previous screen versions - Alfred Hitchcock's Rope and Richard Fliescher's Compulsion - but these movies, unlike Swoon, avoided the (homo)sexual elements in the drama. "Tom Kalin's stunning monochrome melodrama - part archival footage, part period drama, part experimental narrative - puts the homosexuality back into the homicide." Sixth London Lesbian & Gay Festival.

Teenagers Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb share a dangerous sexual bond and an amoral outlook on life. They spend afternoons breaking into storefronts and engaging in petty crimes, until the calculating Nathan ups the ante by kidnapping, and murdering, a young boy.

Featuring a beautifully written and staged explicit sex scene Nocturne centers on gay men's relationships and what happens to Martin (T. Ryder Smith) as he looks for love in New York City. He meets Gino (Gabriel Amor), who is looking for sex but not love, and problems occur when their desires collide. NOTE: Not to be confused with the same title but Lesbian themed film that played in last year's New Festival

Martin a young musician, moves to the city and meets Gino, an acting student at NYU. What starts as a one night stand for Gino quickly turns to an obsession for Martin.
