This short film program includes the following films:

Les Garcons de la Piscine (The Boys at the Pool)

CONTENT WARNING:
Les Garcons de la Piscine (The Boys at the Pool) is a drop-dead gorgeous documentary about a group of out synchronized swimmers in Paris. Supported by the French government and driven by their stern, yet supportive trainer, they work towards their ultimate goal - to compete in the Gay Olympics. Lousi Dupont's film is a well paced and exquisite film that will certainly make you rethink synchronized male swimming. In a good way.

Training Rules

CONTENT WARNING:
No drugs. No drinking. No lesbians. For more than 25 years, Penn State University women’s basketball coach Rene Portland made her training rules eminently clear. While the school administration turned a blind eye to Portland’s homophobic coaching philosophy, talented young players were harassed, threatened and even thrown off the team and stripped of their college scholarships.

Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride

Director Bob Christie in person
In honor of the 40th anniversary of Boston Pride we are opening the 2010 Boston LGBT Film Festival with Bob Christie's stunning documentary on Pride across the globe Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride.
Gay Pride marches and festivals are happening all over the world sometimes under heavy opposition and violence. This feature length documentary follows the Vancouver Pride Society’s (VPS) Parade Director Ken Coolen and his VPS colleagues as they travel to places where Pride is still steeped in protest to personally experience the rampant homophobia that still exists. They also travel to São Paulo, Brazil for the world’s largest gay parade and New York City, the birthplace of the modern gay liberation movement. Increasingly the Pride movement is globalizing. Coolen and many Pride organizers in North America and Europe, where celebration has overtaken political action, strive to remind their communities that Pride is at its heart a global fight for human rights. Despite the hundreds of thousands of people cheering in the streets, Pride is much, much more than a parade and a party. It is a giant step on the road to true equality. The GLBT community during Pride is an entertaining and engaging multi- ethnic group than can bring attention to the issue of human rights with diversity, insight, and of course plenty of fabulousness. Director in attendance Thursday, May 6th, 7:30 PM MFA
