The Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is still going on. Mr. S and I volunteered on Sunday and saw the film "The Country Teacher". A Czech film in which I never sympathized with the lead (a gay male natural science teacher), but liked the female lead character (a strait, female mother of a 17 year old boy, who is a cow herder).
I volunteered on Monday and watched the 40th Ann. viewing of the Lesbian film "The Killing of Sister George". They showed the full/uncut version. Back then, the "sex scene" gave this film an X rating. Both those who had and had not seen it before enjoyed it.
The descriptions for the films on the website are fairly accurate. I was glad to see many familiar faces in the lines .... Plus, there seems to be a good amount of diversity in the attendance (age, gender, ethnicity, etc).... It is always a pleasure to enjoy a film in a theater full with a nice crowd...... and with some buttered popcorn and a large coke Slurpee!
