SUMMARY:4pm Before You Know It
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 1st 4pm Before You Know It   Documentary. 2013. USA. 110min. Director PJ Raval \nThe subjects of Before You Know It are no ordinary senior citizens.

They are also among the estimated 2.4 million lesbian\, gay and bisexual Americans over the age of 55 in the United States\, many of whom face heightened levels of discrimination\, neglect and exclusion. But Before You Know It is not a film about cold statistics and gloomy realities\, it’s a film about generational trailblazers who have surmounted prejudice and defied expectation to form communities of strength\, renewal and camaraderie – whether these communities be affable senior living facilities\, lively activist enclaves or wacky queer bars brimming with glittered trinkets and colorful drag queens. \nWatch the Trailer

SUMMARY:7:00pm | In Your Pocket: What's Your Sex? Shorts
DESCRIPTION: Wednesday\, February 5th 7:00pm The Union Gallery (1st Floor Stauffer Library Queen’s University) \nCommunity Sponsors:  Union Gallery & Modern Fuel Artist Run Centre \nIn Your Pocket: What’s Your Sex? Shorts at Union Gallery \n \n  \n  \n \n  \nVideo revolutionized film culture by highly democratizing access to its recording technology and as such allowed for a new crop of artists to work in a new format. Film theorists and purists were quick to proclaim the “Death of Cinema\,” and yet\, as queer film festivals proved video and digital recording technology have not brought about cinema’s death but have\, in fact\, revitalized it through technical innovation and democratization to its access. The latter\, WAS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO the LGBT COMMUNITY AS IT allowed US to take matters of OUR representation into OUR hands. In a world where only certain voices and perspectives are given a platform for expression it is important to counter such tendencies and One such strategy is self-documentation. \nThe pervasive presence of smart phones in our culture IS another such media revolution — even if one does not have smart phone there’s always someone around who does. With In Your Pocket: What’s Your Sex? we aim to explore the immediacy and intimacy offered by smart phone technology as an intriguing way to investigate the ways in which we record ourselves. The project also raises the question\, “can smart phones make cinema?” \nAs a theme\, “What’s Your Sex?” is deliberately  ambiguous in connotations surrounding the word “sex.” LGBT relationship with and to sex (in all of its meanings) has a long history of being controlled and mediated through others (including ourselves) and the project aims to give space for an uncensored and highly personal (given the intimacy of the recording device) reflection upon the theme. \n–Marcin Wisniewski\, Curator \nThis will be a showcase of our Toronto and Kingston submitted smart phone-made shorts under 4 minutes that answer the question\, “What’s Your Sex?”. Guest curated by Marcin Wisniewski in attendance. \nWorks Screened \n \nTunnel Vision (Coral Short) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nDufferin Mall (Sarah D’Angelo) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nAgeless (Heath Daniels) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nNews From Nowhere (Jesse Todd & Thom Emberton) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nPigeon Hole (Mark Pariselli) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nSerpientes y Escaleras (Julian Calleros) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nYou Are Not Your Genitals (Kiley May) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nCreature\, Probably by Andrew Burrows\, Nelly Matorina & Molly Kubes \nBy identifying ourselves as creatures.  We’re stepping away from the dichotomies within sexuality and orientation.  We’re exploring the fluidity of motion and emotion. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nObsession by Ben Oliver\, DJ Stiles & Marc Cormier \nObsession is a glimpse through the eyes of one boy\, fixated on a disillusioned world of quick hook-ups and frail connections of social media. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nA Thousand Birds by CHLORINE \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSigns (Francisco-Fernando Granados) \nHide & Seek (Aries Cheung) \nFucking Butterflies (Grey Muldon) \nMy Sex is Genderless (Raymond Helkio) \nLabels (Clement Ng) \nTake It Off (Steven Beckly) \nLavender Technicalities (Beck Gilmer-Osborne)

After a considerable amount of thought and discussion\, Cuthand changed her mind and decided to remain a Butch Lesbian.

Shot partially on location in Hamburg\, Germany\, riding back and forth on the UBahn is a metaphor for her eventual acceptance of fluctuating between a masculine and a feminine gender. In a nod to her two spirited ancestors\, she mentions that she would have been able to make up her own gender had colonization not happened. \n

SUMMARY:9pm Five Dances
DESCRIPTION:Saturday February 8th 9pm Closing Gala Film The Screening Room Cinema 1 \nFIVE DANCES  Drama.2013. USA. 83 mins. Director Alan Brown \nThe classic tale of finding success and romance in the big city is given a contemporary\, and unconventional\, spin in Alan Brown’s new film\, FIVE DANCES. Collaborating with internationally renowned choreographer Jonah Bokaer\, writer-director Brown has taken five gifted New York dancers\, and fashioned a story about Chip (Ryan Steele in his first film role)\, an extraordinarily talented 18 year-old recently arrived from Kansas who joins a small downtown modern dance company. In his first weeks of rehearsal\, Chip is initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer’s life\, where discipline and endless hard work\, camaraderie and competitiveness\, the fear of not being good enough\, and the joy of getting it just right\, inform every minute of every day. Shooting in and around a Soho dance studio\, Brown and his long-time cinematographer Derek McKane capture the exhilaration and emotional turmoil of a small dance company\, and all of Chip’s poignant firsts—the forging of friendships\, being chosen for the important solo\, his first ever love affair—with the intimacy and immediacy of a documentary. The result\, FIVE DANCES\, is Brown’s most dynamic film. \nPreceded by \nMen’s Boutique  Roy Mitchell & Michael Stecky Canada 6:00min. 2006 \nMen’s Boutique contemplates what to do (and where to do it) as a gay man gets older. \n  \n  \n  \nCommunity Sponsor: Kingston School of Dance
