SUMMARY:The Year We Thought About Love
DESCRIPTION:The Screening Room (120 Princess St.) \nNote: There is a misprint on advance tickets that erroneously indicates a 3pm start time for this program. It is in fact at 7pm. \nThis youth focused program features works made for a youth audience. It is co-sponsored by HARS\, FUSE LGBTQ Youth Group\, SAY OutLoud LGBT Youth Group & Down There (ASUS) \nTHE YEAR WE THOUGHT ABOUT LOVE with Sex Ed shorts by SAY OutLoud Belleville LGBTQ Youth Group\nWhat happens when a diverse group of LGBTQ youth dares to be “out” on stage to reveal their lives and their loves? \nTHE YEAR WE THOUGHT ABOUT LOVE goes behind the scenes of one of the oldest queer youth theaters in America\, with our camera crew slipping into classrooms\, kitchens\, subways\, and rehearsal rooms with this fearless and endearing troupe. Boston-based True Colors OUT Youth Theater transforms daily struggles into performance for social change. With wit\, candor\, and attitude\, our cast of characters captivates audiences surprised to hear such stories in school settings. Our film introduces a transgender teenager kicked out of her house\, a devout Christian challenging his church’s homophobia\, and a girl who prefers to wear boys’ clothing even as she models dresses on the runway. When bombs explode outside their building\, the troupe becomes even more determined to share their stories of love to help heal their city. This year is the first year they dare to talk about love. Brave\, inspiring\, and funny…these are the inspiring LGBT youth that are leading us into the future. \nDocumentary. 2014. USA. 68min. Directed by Ellen Brodsky \nPreceded by: The LGBTQ Youth Digital Media Arts Project*\nThese are short digital works on the topic of  sex education created by 12 youth (aged 13-25) from the SAY OutLoud LGBTQ Youth group in Belleville. \nProject Coordinator\, Animator\, and Media Artist Martha Newbigging and emerging artists in attendance. \n*The LGBTQ Youth Digital Media Arts Project\nWhat was your experience with sexual health education in school? What should sex ed. include? What’s missing? How did this class affect you? These were the questions we asked twelve youth (aged 13-25) to answer using digital media. The LGBTQ Digital Media Arts Project was developed in response to a conversation at the SAY OutLoud youth group where LGBTQ youth and allies told stories about their feelings of alienation and discrimination during typical sex education classes. The youth attended this 3-day media arts workshop where they shared their experiences\, looked at the new Physical and Health Education curriculum and made video art using iPads. Some youth chose to work together in small teams helping each other record video or interviewing their peers. Others worked alone crafting drawings and writing texts. Some youth spoke back directly\, addressing shortcomings in their education about sexuality\, while others artfully described their experiences of being gay or trans in school. These videos provide a window into the thoughtful minds of young people and demonstrate their capacity to have meaningful conversations about sexuality and school. \nThe LGBTQ Youth Digital Media Arts Project received financial support from the Ontario Arts Council\, SAY OutLoud\, the Executive of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario – Hastings-Prince Edward Local‎ and teachers on the Equity Committee.

SUMMARY:FIRE SONG (encore screening)
DESCRIPTION:The Screening Room (120 Princess St.) \nFIRE SONG\nOne of the first films by a First Nations director to deal with two-spirited people\, the thoughtful and moving debut feature by Adam Garnet Jones focuses on Shane (Andrew Martin)\, a young Anishinaabe man at a crossroads. Even as his family is still reeling from a recent tragedy\, Shane is forced to decide whether he will leave the reservation to go to school — and he’s also faced with the prospect of raising tuition money fast\, not an easy thing to do in a depressed area. (Not legally\, anyway.) \nThen there’s the complicated matter of his love life. While his girlfriend\, Tara (Mary Galloway)\, would love to come with him to the city\, Shane would prefer to make the trip with David (Harley Legarde-Beacham)\, the grandson of the community’s leader. But David is deeply committed to learning the tribe’s traditions\, and believes that leaving the reservation would be a cop-out. As Shane struggles with his own problems\, he fails to realize that neglecting those he loves may have disastrous consequences. \nWith sensitivity and intelligence\, Fire Song confronts some of the most pressing questions facing First Nations communities. What is it that makes a community — and is a person’s actual physical presence in that community a necessary part of it? Would Shane really be turning his back on those he cares for by leaving\, or does the pressure on him to stay prohibit opportunity? Can a two-spirited person be truly accepted by a tradition-bound culture\, or do exclusionary interpretations of that culture’s traditions condemn them to make a life for themselves elsewhere? \nTough yet compassionate\, subtle and affecting\, Fire Song announces the arrival of a powerful new voice in Canadian cinema. \nDramatic Narrative. D. Adam Garnet Jones. 2015. Canada. 85 min \nPreceded by: Growing\nAllison Coon-Come. 2014. Canada. 4:00 min \nCarried away by the gentle sounds of a music box\, the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood\, between light and shadow. \nCommunity Sponsor: Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre

DESCRIPTION:The Screening Room (120 Princess St.) \nPORTRAIT OF A SERIAL MONOGAMIST\nSmart\, successful\, and charming\, Elsie is the perfect girlfriend; she also happens to be a serial monogamist\, with a long history of broken hearts. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend to pursue another woman\, she faces her mother’s disapproval\, conflicting advice from friends\, and the nagging suspicion that she may have made a big mistake. Set in the Parkdale neighborhood of Toronto\, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist invites audiences to peek behind the curtain to a world of smart\, funny and relatable queer characters\, dealing with the universal complications of modern relationships. Not another coming out story\, this is a fresh coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy. \nRomantic Comedy. 2015. Canada. 84min. Directed by John Mitchell & Christina Zeidler \nPreceded by: Midnight at the Continental\nLauren Hortie & Sonya Reynolds. 2015.Canada. 9:47min \nToronto\, 1955. In the heart of Chinatown\, a new bar opens: The Continental. It’s dark\, grimy\, and attracts an unusual clientele. Local tabloids scream in 20-point font: “Sapphos overflow Chinatown!” The bar becomes the meeting place for two of Toronto’s marginalized communities: Chinese-Canadian men and lesbians living “the life” full time. \nRecounting this forgotten piece of Toronto queer history\, artists Hortie and Reynolds tell the story of Toronto’s first long-standing lesbian bar using original shadow puppets\, overhead projector animation and archival images. Pull a stool up to the bar and watch lesbians and Chinese men stand side by side\, battling crooked cops\, fractured families\, tabloid rumours\, and the wrecking ball of “progress”. \nFilmmakers In Attendance \nCommunity Sponsor: The Kingston Canadian Film Festival
