OUT Twin Cities Film Festival 2012
Queer Touch Documentary Shorts (87 min. total)
Admission: $10
These three short documentaries examine the meaning of touch; whether it be getting in touch with one's true self, the intricacies of PDA, or setting a world record for longest continuous kiss.
'Mind' - Directed by Emma Crimmings (Australia)
From the innocent gestures of a tomboy to the irrevocable impact of changing from one gender to another, Mind charts award-winning writer Tom Cho's escalating desire for personal transformation and his use of writing as a means of escape. With stylized dramatizations from Tom's book of short stories, Mind is an intimate documentary portrait exploring gender, identity, race and the power of self expression.
'Hold On Tight' - Directed by Anna Rodgers (Ireland)
Holding hands or kissing in public isn't for everyone. When it comes to same sex relationships, showing your love outside of the home is sometimes a complicated personal choice. This short documentary moves between the public and private spaces in which lesbian and gay couples live, and explores small gestures of human connectedness. These gentle interactions not only carry a huge personal significance, but also the potent power to create social change. Yet, for most people, being affectionate beyond the hall door isn't intended as a political statement - it's an expression of love.
'Our Lips Are Sealed' - Directed by John Gallino (USA)
In 2010 two New Jersey college students Matty and Bobby set out to break the world record for Longest Continuous Kiss and to become the first gay record holders for doing such.
