Reeling: Dog Tags
Dog Tags explores the broken lives of two seemingly very different people, challenging in the most provocative and daring way any notion of conventional “gay” relationships. Nathan joined the military in an effort to support his soon-to-be fiancée. Abandoned by his father and raised by a single mother, he is forced to find out what it means to be a man as he struggles between what society expects of him and what he sees as the core of his masculinity. When his path crosses with that of free-spirited and misguided punk rocker, Andy, who is more intent on becoming famous than caring for his infant son, their instant bonding over their mutual need to move on from the past allows them to grow as people in ways they would have never expected.

Reeling: Seeds of Summer (Zirei Kayitz)
Seven years after completing an Israeli Defense Course for female combat soldiers, director Hen Lasker returns to take a deeper look at the place where she first fell in love with a woman. Over the course of 66 days and nights, Lasker shoots a fly-on-the-wall documentary that allows unprecedented intimacy into the lives of the trainees and commanders of the Israeli army. The dichotomy of the innocence of these baby-faced trainees with the heavy burden of military service is a central theme of the film, illustrated in a scene where they discuss losing their virginity while waiting their turn to fire a machine gun. But it is the director’s relationship with Smadar, a breathtaking commander struggling to mask her gentle soul with a strict military persona, which makes the film truly enchanting. The intersection of love, duty, and personal growth thrive through to the film’s surprisingly moving finish.

Reeling: Ebony Chunky Love: Bitch Can't Get
With a successful stand-up career and a job as co-host of Sirius Radio’s OutQ in the Morning, comedian Keith Price could easily limit his comedy routines to how hard it is to be fabulous all the time. However, as a burly, out, loud and proud African American gay man, he chooses to make his audience laugh with candid observations on not only his love life and dating, but also topics such as racism and homophobia. Ebony Chunky Love is everything you would expect from its title: super-queeny and over-the-top. But it also offers a genuine voice to issues such as the media’s portrayal of gay African American males, body image idealization, racism within the gay dating scene, and how the down-low is not just a black phenomenon. With Keith’s infectious laugh and sharp humor, we truly leave with the question: Why can’t this bitch get a date? Really.

Reeling: Ruby Blue
Set in a picturesque English seaside town, Ruby Blue (Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2008 London Independent Film Festival) tells the story of Jack (Bob Hoskins), a widower who spends his days avoiding people, drinking to oblivion, and neglecting his trained racing pigeons. A social outcast, he is befriended by two insistent neighbors, a little girl next door and Stephanie, a French woman who brings home-cooked meals to his door. Though he tries to ignore them both, each finds their way into his life and his heart. Opening himself up, Jack takes a troubled teenage boy under his wing, letting the boy help with the birds and finding him a job in town. But when rumors start to fly about Jack being a pervert, and Stephanie reveals a secret she has been concealing, Jack’s newfound trust in people threatens to destroy him.

Reeling: Ask Not
Veteran filmmaker Johnny Symons has turned out an incisive and compelling documentary on a contentious issue: the U.S. military’s infamous “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The film combines candid interviews with soldiers, sit-ins by gay youth at military recruitment centers, and a speaking tour of college campuses by veterans, exposing numerous ways fit and able citizens are battling a government policy insistent on denying them equal rights. The societal cost of denying military service to gay Americans is also exposed, as well as the effects of living in silence on individual soldiers.

Reeling: Clapham Junction
Commissioned by groundbreaking British Channel 4 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in the U.K., the controversial drama Clapham Junction is anything but a G-rated gay pride celebration. With quite a bit of sweaty—and often violent sex—involved, it follows the interconnected lives of a group of contemporary gay men in London. From a civil partnership ceremony for two upper-crust gay men to married men cavorting in public restrooms to glory holes and gay bashing, this gripping drama touches on a range of homosexual complexities, suggesting that urban gay acceptance is surface thin with issues of self-acceptance threatening to bubble up through the cracks.
