Roll Film!
We are proud of the 2007
edition of Reel Pride Michigan.
Proud to present it, proud of its
diversity, proud of the artists whose collective work we
showcase.
As always, there’s something for everyone. The
myriad stories that come out of the gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender experience will be represented
on the big screen. The Festival is a great event as we
get to watch and revel in the triumph, comedy,
tragedy, myth --- and yes, the drama --- of GLBT lives
told large and small.
From our opening selection, Shelter, to the closing
night’s Itty Bitty Titty Committee, our selections range
from straight-forward to complex, including the return
of perennial Festival favorites, OUT! In Boys’ Shorts
and Girls’ Night OUT! We are also presenting a superb
documentary, For the Bible Tells Me So, as the Sunday
Brunch offering. Look for the star-studded Suffering
Man’s Charity (Alan Cumming, David Boreanaz, Henry
Thomas, Anne Heche, Carrie Fisher, Karen Black) and
a new version of the classic The Picture of Dorian Gray
featuring David Gallagher.
Part of the excitement of Reel Pride is the
opportunity to see films as they are meant to be seen:
on the big screen, in the dark. These days we settle
for an iPod screen or the small TV window to view film,
which diminish the encounter that the filmmaker has
created for us. Presenting these works in the beautiful
atmosphere of the historic Main Art Theatre makes the
full-on film experience complete.
So get your Raisinettes and have a seat. We’re off
to the movies!
