CONTENT WARNING:

An ex-con returns home to the Bronx after three year in prison to discover his wife estranged and his teenage son exploring a sexual transformation that will put the fragile bonds of their family to the test.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

The heart of Gun Hill Road lies in two places: a father’s inability to escape the vicious cycle of his life, and the richly drawn character of Michael/Vanessa (newcomer Harmony Santana is unforgettable). Writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green’s first feature film is a complex family drama, told with gentle humor, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the environment that defines its inhabitants.

Putting the "B" in LGBT we bring you the bisexual program. In He, She, We we find out what happens when a handsome young man leaves his older female lover for a man. Is it over or is there another way? Vera wonders what to do when she is invited to the straight wedding of her ex-girlfriend in Bye Bi Love. And in Santiago from the Other Side Lucia waits for just the right moment to tell Santiago that she is pregnant only to discover that he is a little too busy. To cap it off we bring you the film that unleashed a firestorm of debate when released in France. Bisexual Revolution brings together archival footage, cinematic excerpts and star-studded interviews with international academics and artists to deconstruct the hetero-homo polarization of sexuality.
