NewFest 2010 — Go-Go Reject (With Cute Go-Go Boys) Should Be One of Your Selections

The LGBT Film Festival in New York has a program of shorts under the theme Singing, Dancing, Waiting. Who loves short shorts? I certainly do. Especially if there’s a film about cute go-go boys.

Okay, so this fun little film is about the heavy subjects of body image, body fascism and fantasy  in the gay male community. Except that it’s sweet, funny and filled with self knowledge and compassion. Not to mention hot go go dancing boys: See the trailer below.

Another film on the program is one I wrote about last year: EZ Heeb, from Ali Coterill, star and director of Fagette, which I loved when it screened at NewFest a couple of years back. It's pure queer Jewish fun. Buddhist I don't know. But queer Jewish? Yup.

There aren’t a lot of places you can see films like this with an appreciative audience, and a chance to meet the filmmakers, who are often there. Ali Coterill will be that's for sure.

The Singing, Dancing, Waiting program plays on Sunday June 5th at 2:30pm. You can buy your tickets at the LGBT Community Center on 13th Street, at the SVA Theater on 23rd Street, or online at NewFest.org.
