Team Queen is screening at MondoHomo

This queerly cinematic program features videos that range from the hot and sexy to the informative and inspiring, also diving into the surreal and the darkly humorous along the way for good measure. These movies represent the artistic expression of diverse queer filmmakers, traversing the terrains of both the accessible and the experimental, and offering socio-political voice to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, BDSM, and all things queer! Last, but not least: All films in this program are Atlanta premieres!

F. Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here
Directed by Jules Rosskam. 25 mins. 2007. USA. Shot on DV.
The intersections of class, race, and privelege are personified, herem through the depiction of a very special friendship. This film’s charm rests in the fact that it presents a trans character whose ‘transness’ is never discussed, described, defined or questioned. Paul is a one-of-a-kind character so far in filmmaking as his manhood nor his body are ever legitimized.
