PREVIEW LGBT CINEMA EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Allan Radcliffe previews the finest LGBT-themed films at this year‘s EIFF
As ever. the Edinburgh International Film Festival's ten-day showcase of screenings. talks. interviews and special events. (here's a decent sprinkling of films that are of particular interest to those of an LGBT persuaSion.
Those interested in a little bit of politics are urged to see Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick's acclaimed documentary Outrage. which delves into the phenomenon of allegedly closeted gay politicians supporting anti-gay legislation. The film explores the harm inflicted on the LGBT community by these legislators and discusses the ethics of outing politicians for the choices they make in their
private lives.
A couple of dramas about passionate relationships between women are also well worth a look. The Portuguese-set neir. West Point. directed by French filmmaker Laurence Rebouillon. focuses on one woman's obsesswe love for
another. and the protagonists attempts to free themselves from a traumatic past.
Meanwhile. Lucia Puen/o. who directed the haunting XXY. brings forth an intriguing thriller. El Nifio Pez (pictured). adapted from her own novel. In the film two girls from completely different social backgrounds fall in love. but. unable to express their desires in the strict society they inhabit. they are forced to commit a crime. The film features loos Efron. who played the defiant hermaphrodite in XXY. In a lighter vein. Lynn Shelton's Humpday focuses on a pair of friends who take their male bonding to new levels when they drunkenly agree to appear in a gay porn film together. and have sex onscreen. Can their friendship (not to mention Ben's marriagei survive this adventure? Similarly. the Peter McDougall- scripted. John Macken/ie~directed The Elephant’s Graveyard from 1976 touches on themes of male bonding and friendship. and features a great central performance from the Big Yin himself. Billy Connolly.
