SHORTBUS. Written and directed by Mitchell (who previously starred in and directed the film adaptation of his international stage hit, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH), SHORTBUS explores the lives of several characters living in present-day New York as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex. Male and female, straight and gay, the characters find one and other – and eventually find themselves – when they all converge at a weekly underground salon called “Shortbus,” a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality.

The 10th Portland Lesbian & Gay Film Festival opens with INFAMOUS

 

This year's opening night film is INFAMOUS. Based on the true story of Truman Capote and his investigation into the 1959 murders of a Kansas family of four. What starts out as a journey with his friend Harper Lee to figure out "whodunit," turns into something unexpected: an intense and complex bond with one of the murderers that inspired his greatest work, "In Cold Blood." Stars Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Craig, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sigourney Weaver, and Isabella Rossellini. More about
the film and its trailer can be found here.

The 2006 Portland Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is our tenth anniversary! We're busy planning festivities to mark this occasion! This year's festival runs from October 6 through October 15 at Cinema 21. The full festival schedule will be posted here very soon.
