Worldly Women
This stunning offering of queer Latin@ shorts brings together a potent mixture of espíritu, resistencia y nuestra communidad. Two Brazilian schoolboys form an instant attachment and soon realize that theirs is no ordinary friendship. If they want to be together, there’s one irreversible thing they must deal with in The Package. Loving the Bony Lady introduces Arely Gonzalez, a devoted worshipper of La Santa Muerte, also known as La Flaca. Since devoting herself to this skeletal saint, Gonzalez, a Mexican immigrant and transsexual woman, has seen her life transformed. In Lost Angel a young Dutch tourist stranded at the start of his U.S. vacation, finds help from an unlikely stranger and Los Angelino. A Chilean couple spends their last morning together in The Shower as their relationship falls apart. When Raul is asked to entertain the local landowner’s son, an intense game of power and pride starts between the two boys in A World for Raul. Good Neighbors— they lend you sugar, let your dog out and sometimes make for sexy bedfellows.
Join us as we travel the globe and celebrate some of the finest international gay men’s short films. On the outskirts of Lima, a young sex worker tends to an elderly man, who is a fallen-from-grace artisan in The Companion. Sea, sun, and family — that’s what it takes to make a Summer Vacation. But all Yuval wants from this vacation is to get the heck out of there. In For Dorian, a father fears the sexual awakening of his disabled son, Oliver. In A Ballet Dialogue, a young man in his late teens and a senior man wake up in their respective apartments — and from across the avenue on which they both live, they communicate in an unusual way. Two childhood friends head to a deserted beach to surf in Seaquake. When they get there, they wait for a wave that never comes, but another type of wave comes across the both of them. In Happy Birthday, from the director of You Are Not Alone (1978), life can be frustrating for a 14-year-old boy in Denmark where the age of consent is 15. His birthday might be right around the corner, but his handsome neighbor is making it seem like forever!
Whether it’s a decades-long connection that results in a final plunge or the mystery of secret panties, Frameline’s annual Worldly Women program will take you on a global tour of the many variations of womanly delights. The provocative My Secret Panties examines the varying faces of lesbian Muslims. In the visually gripping Dos Almas, a mestiza woman finds herself alone in the remote wilderness and discovers a guide and lover deep in the woods. Can Shopping really bring true love? This may prove to be the case despite years of missed connections. In Through the Window, we discover Yoni, deep in the closet and torn between her great love and her family. All is revealed in Fresh Fruit when a woman bored by her day job lets her imagination run wild and takes her own trip of seduction out on one of the guests. In the mysterious Social Butterfly, a 30-year-old American woman enters a teenage party, where sexual identity opens up amidst the celebratory chaos. Finally, in Cross Your Fingers, Su-yeon, a manicurist in Brixton, South London, is a good Catholic girl. But when punk girl Maya walks into the salon, Su-yeon’s world is opened up to a multitude of new desires.
