Fabulous independent film festival in Sarasota
Scheduled to be held at
Burns Court Cinemas in downtown Sarasota, on Saturday, August 18 and Sunday,
August 19, the Fabulous Independent Film Festival will mark its second
anniversary with 6 feature films, 6 shorts and 3 parties celebrating diversity
in the LGBT community. The festival is organized by broken rules
productions in association with and benefiting the Harvey Milk Festival, a
non profit organization. Tickets are $8, opening and closing night
films are $10, available on www.fabulousiff.com and
at Burns Court Cinemas on the days of the festival.
Films scheduled are SASSY
PANTS, presented by Watermark Media, a wild satire of a teenaged girl who
runs away from her dominantly cheerful mom to her gay dad's trailer home, now
living with his martini-swilling, shorty-shorts-wearing boy toy boyfriend, a
hilarious, grown up Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense). NORTH SEA TEXAS,
an arrestingly beautiful portrayal of a young boy's first love, from
Belgium. UNITED IN ANGER, A HISTORY OF ACT UP, an inspiring
documentary about the birth and life of the AIDS activist movement, THE WISE
KIDS, a delicate exploration of the coming out and coming of age in the
bible belt, CLOUDBURST, a breezy and tender road movie starring Oscar
winners Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker as a lesbian couple who hit the
highway to get married. LOVE OR WHATEVER, a romantic comedy following
Corey as his well planned life falls apart and he leans on his quirky lesbian
sister for guidance. THE COVER, a short, by our local boy wonder:
Anthony Paull, will precede SASSY PANTS.
The Fabulous IFF counts Watermark
Media, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, Janice & John
Shelton and RCMoore Construction among its very wonderful sponsors. The
complete list of sponsors is featured on the Fabulous IFF web site, www.fabulousiff.com.
