The annual Frameline film fest has 90 films, plus parties, filmmaker events and more — here’s what you need to know.
Meet Jamie , a 14-year-old who’s always prepared in case of an emergency and a teen who’s well-versed on how to properly season in mom’s kitchen and even out in the woods. Jamie harbors a big secret, though: He’s crushing hard on his cousin’s boyfriend, cute and cuddly Dan . Director Corey Sherman’s body-positive debut sees Jamie fumbling about in a low-budget charmer that’ll click with both the YA and adult crowds.
Two Bhopal, India, transgender friends resolve to stare down hate and overcome obstacles thrown in their path. That shapes this placidly paced vérité-like drama directed by a crew of first-time filmmakers. The SXSW Film Festival Audience Award winner finds Laila and Rashni contending with eviction notices, obnoxious drunks and coworkers and homophobic remarks.
Director Manuel Abramovich’s racy debut offers a non-judgmental peep-hole view into the making of a depressed porn star. Not so surprisingly, it’s sexually explicit in how it depicts laconic Oaxaca factory worker Lalo advancing from racy selfies in his undies to a starring role as Emiliano Zapata in an adult movie. Initially, Abramovich might seem to be merely cataloging his ascendancy with voyeuristic titillation. Well, it does that, but it also comments about machismo and bravado.
If you’ve dipped your toe into the surreal canon of Portuguese filmmaker João Pedro Rodrigues, it shouldn’t be a shock to learn that his latest is utterly undefinable. Raunchy, playful, and even grazingly touching, it starts in 2069 and then hurls us back in time to a fire station where the sparks fly between a prince Alfredo and a hot fireman . There are showstopping musical numbers, plentiful eyefuls of nudity and much more. I loved every 67 minutes of it.
Bay Area filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman do an incredible job capturing Taylor Mac’s Herculean 24-hour performance piece, an acclaimed stage show which takes an irreverent, often critical look at music through 24 decades . Through interviews with Mac and scenes of backstage preparations — particularly in regards to the elaborate costumes Mac wears — we feel we’re a part of this 10-years-in-the-making production.
