SHORTS PROGRAM
90 min.

CineMental employed its well-honed gaydar to find the queer in the BUFF submissions. In this program we highlight queer content, sensibility, or filmmakers.

There’s bestial sexual fantasy, a painful breakup that turns violent, a doc about a transgender youth shelter, a tale of unrequited teen girl love via role playing games, a locally made post-structural analysis of a family photo album (or “Was Grandma Gay?”), a fictional doc about ugly relatives, and Orson Welles and Judy Garland’s lost crime story.
Sheeps and fags and bears, oh my!

CineMental is a monthly program from Aliza Shapiro and Truth Serum that explores the fringes of queer film, video, and performative work. CineMental is every third Wednesday at the Brattle. Join us at truthserum.org.
