Welcome to My Queer Bookstore

CONTENT WARNING:
Located in Taipei, Taiwan, Gin Gin's Bookstore is the one and only bookstore dedicated to the LGBT community in the Chinese speaking world. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2009, the bookstore has played a very important role in Taiwan's LGBT movement. In 2003, a lawsuit was brought against J.J. Lai, the owner of the store, for selling gay pictorials on LGBT rights in the public sphere. The bookstore has become an iconic space in Taiwan's gay culture, hosting numerous public forums, book signings, and promotional activities for gay films and television shows.

Director Cheryl Dunye in person
We celebrate noted filmmaker Cheryl Dunye with the Boston LGBT Film Festival's inaugural Director's award. Ms. Dunye astounded the world with her breakthrough film Watermelon Woman in 1996 and we are honoured to present her latest film The Owls. Please join us in celebrating a filmmaker who has made an amazing contribution to LGBT cinema. About the making of the The Owls: Director Cheryl Dunye and producer Alexandra Juhasz, Candi Gutteres and Ernesto Foronda invited a group of lesbian and gay artists with creative links to work on this project. This marked the beginning of the ‘Parliament Collective’, a large multiethnic artists’ collective that developed the story for The Owls.
Ten years ago ‘The Screech’ was the hottest lesbian band around. Iris and Lily were the lead vocalists, MJ the producer, and Carol always went on tour with them. But the days of big dreams and wild nights have long since past. Sexy Iris now drinks too much and fantasises about a comeback that has yet to materialise. She and MJ split up years ago, but just can’t let go. Carol and Lily are so bored by their relationship that they can’t seem to decide on anything, except perhaps to have a child together. And then Cricket enters this Bermuda triangle of fallow desire, disappointment, anger and boredom. This argumentative twenty-year-old is looking for trouble – and finds it. After a pool party awash with cocaine and alcohol, Iris winds up on Cricket’s lap. This makes MJ – to whom Iris has been unfaithful so often before – even more furious. An argument ensues and escalates into a fight during which Cricket is badly injured and dies. The girlfriends decide to overcome their differences, pull together and get rid of the corpse. Their complicity creates a firm bond. But then, a year later, Skye turns up on Lily and Carol’s doorstep. Revenge is her aim and seduction her strategy … (Description courtesy of The Berlinale)
