OP/LYNX presents a new NEW QUARTERLY FILMMAKER BRUNCH SERIES presented in collaboration with NewFest, the NY Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.
OP/LYNX and members of NewFest and other partner organizations are
invited to participate in conversations with cutting edge filmmakers
who are doing provocative, enlightening and creative work.
On November 12th, Award-winning Filmmaker KAREN EVERETT (“I Shall Not
Be Removed”, “The Life of Marlon Riggs: MyFemme Divine”), gives us a
no-holds-barred look at her sexually charged love life by revealing
every juicy detail in “WOMEN IN LOVE” (59 min, 2005). After the
screening, KERRY WELDON, Filmmaker, NewFest Board Member and Director
of Development for the International Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences, talks with Everett via video-conferencing from San Francisco.
While examining the human ability to redefine ourselves and reshape
what we think "love" means, Everett masterfully weaves images of lesbians
making their way through present-day sex clubs and attending
masturbation seminars. Everett's phenomenal fifth film is her finest —
a work of amazing depth and sincerity which is sure to captivate and
entertain all curious audiences. Featuring Jackie Strano and Shar
Rednour of S.I.R. Video and Phyllis Christopher, one of North America's
leading photographers of lesbian erotica.
Join us at our favorite new downtown queer venue, Mo Pitkins, where we
will make a day of socializing, networking and engaging dialogue about
issues related to our representation on film by lesbian underground
filmmakers, as well as by the mainstream. BRUNCH is very limited
seating. RSVPs are required no later than 5:00pm on Wednesday, NOVEMBER
8th. The SCREENING is also limited. RSVPs is recommended, as the event
may sell-out. Reserve your seat by 5:00pm on Friday, NOVEMBER 10th.
