Reeling 2009: The Female Heart program
Tender, poignant, and often life changing are the intimate relationships and moments that the women of these short films experience. Whether it’s an affair that extends over the course of years, or a platonic encounter lasting only minutes, these characters share the special bond that can only exist between two women. Admission: $10.00 ($8.00 members), tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com

Reeling 2009: Patrik, Age 1.5
On an idyllic street in a colorful neighborhood, Göran and Sven seem to want the same things as their hetero-normative neighbors: leisurely afternoons at block parties, raising a family, creating a beautiful garden. But the flowers won’t grow, the neighborhood kids yell “homo” at them, and Göran, prone to drinking, smoking and outbursts, is wary of their pending adoption, having already failed once as a father and husband. Admission: $10.00 ($8.00 members), tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com
|
Reeling 2009: Just Friends program
Ranging from chaste stories of unrequited love to sordid tales of wild encounters, these nine shorts explore friendship... is it just friendly or real love? Admission: $10.00 ($8.00 members), tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com
|
Reeling 2009: Just Say Love
Shot in a manner similar to Lars von Trier’s Dogville, with minimal, stage-like sets, Just Say Love is adapted from David J. Mauriello’s stage play of the same name. The film, featuring only two characters, is very dialogue-driven, exploring notions of happiness, feeding the body versus the soul, sexuality, and the laws of attraction. Admission: $10.00 ($8.00 members), tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com
