PLAY THE DEVIL (2016)
Directed by Maria Govan
92 min.
Genre: Thriller, Drama, Gay
In English and Patois with English subtitles
In this simmering, unconventional thriller set in the lush hills of Trinidad, Gregory (Petrice Jones), a sensitive scholar struggling with his sexuality, is pursued by rich, married businessman James (a quietly menacing Gareth Jenkins). Seduction and obsession intertwine with cultural, sexual, and family dynamics in a multilayered story that spirals to a fateful conclusion that challenges moral interpretation. This drama from Bahamian-born, queer writer-director Maria Govan bursts with colorful scenes of the Carnival ritual the Jab and uses authentic island locales and music to show precisely what it means to
@ 1 p.m.

REAL BOY (2016)
Directed by Shaleece Haas
72 min.
Genre: Documentary, Transgender
Contains discussion of drug use and self-harm.
From queer director Shaleece Haas comes an affecting documentary about transgender teen and aspiring musician Bennett Wallace. With the support of his best friend Dylan (also transitioning) and fellow transgender performer Joe Stevens, Bennett navigates the ups and downs of his journey to find his voice, including sobriety and patience as his mother weathers his transition, while reaching for the promise of a new life. With a soundtrack that features Bennett and Joe's original songs, REAL BOY offers deeply emotional glimpses into coming of age, revealing not only heartache and uncertainty but also the ultimate joy that comes with irrevocable change and the realization of ones truest self.
@ 2:40 p.m.
SUICIDE KALE (2015)
Directed by Carly Usdin
78 min.
Genre: Comedy, Lesbian, Queer
Contains profanity and discussion of suicide.
All is not what it seems in this outrageously real comedy of manners built around snappy, mostly improvised dialogue and a diverse all-female cast and crew. Newly coupled Jasmine and Penn visit married couple Jordan and Billie and accidentally stumble upon a cryptic hidden note. What follows, in the awkward, tense attempts to decipher it, is a keenly observed dissection of modern-day relationships. Inspired by TANGERINE, director Carly Usdin and her team, including comic-writer Brittani Nichols (Transparent) and Jasika Nicole (Fringe, Scandal), have created a fiercely queer farce, which won the Audience Award for Best US Narrative First Feature at Outfest 2016.
SUNDAY, JULY 9 @ 12 p.m.
