CONTENT WARNING:

Groundbreaking transgender comedian, Ian Harvie is unafraid to joke about subjects no other comedian has ever touched. Harvie unveils his first-ever live standup comedy concert film, poking fun at topics from top surgery to his fear of public restrooms to his active sex life.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Ian Harvie's debut stand‐up comedy concert film, Superhero, is the culmination of his very personal journey of having been born a girl and later becoming a self‐made man. It’s Ian's facile sense of ease, not just his gender‐bending presence that makes his humor groundbreaking; and has lead him to make history on more than one occasion. It’s these very qualities that attracted the notorious Margaret Cho to publicly rave about Ian’s work and have him as her opening act for years. Ian is 'quite possibly the most unique comic in the country' says Frontiers Magazine and yet his jokes strike the core of all shared human experiences.

17 year old Mike has always been kind of a outcast, never quite on time, never knowing quite the right thing to say. He’s doing his best just to survive high school. But all that changes when a new kid arrives in his class, William. And when the two of them are immediately thrust together to complete an English class assignment, Mike sees his chance to become closer to the quiet, enigmatic Will. As the two spend more time together under the auspices of making a ‘monster movie’ version of Romeo & Juliet, they begin to realise that their feelings towards one another may be more powerful than they’d anticipated. But like the two main characters in the greatest love story ever told, Mike and Will seem pre‐destined to be kept apart, by their respective dysfunctional families, by their classmates, and by their own sexual confusion. Can their love overcome all obstacles? Or, like the Shakespearian monsters that inhabit their school project, are they fated to spend their existence haunted and alone? A coming‐out and coming‐of‐age drama firmly set in the 1990’s, MONSTER PIES is a snapshot in time, a moving teen romance unafraid to tackle the contradictions and complexities of the male adolescent heart and mind. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE

Mike has felt alienated and alone for as long as he can remember, until a new boy arrives at his school - awakening feelings and a world of possibilities he’d never before dared to dream of.

Two Cuban boys on the edge of marginality fight to lead a life together. But it's hard for both: one has to work as a shark beating father‐in‐law debtors. The other prostitutes himself in the streets to fulfill his family's duties...In an island where baseball was the king, soccer seems to be the only way to escape…

Cuba is not a country for young gays. Teen rent boy Reinier falls in love with a mate in the slum soccer field in their neighbourhood in Havana. Although obsessed with moneymaking to hold up his baby, teen wife, and wife’s grandma, gambler Reinier always fails to get the stroke of luck he looks for. At the same time he cannot help being infatuated by Yosvani. Handsome Yosvani will give up his older, wealthy girlfriend (whom he hooked up to pay for a lavish life in the big city), and the work he does for her father, a loan thug, so much in love he is with Reinier. But the boys would fight hard to keep this love in the reckless Havana streets.
