OUTFEST 2009

As OUTFEST is coming slowly to its final weekend, tonight you will have the chance to see screening of BOY. In the fourth feature film by Auraeus Solito (THE BLOSSOMING OF MAXIMO OLIVEROS, TULI), a teenage poet instantly falls for gorgeous rent boy Aries. He sells his prized comic books to buy a night of bliss with Aries, thereby shedding his innocence and coming into his own identity - as an artist and a gay man. Recently banned by Singapore censors for "romanticizing" gay sex, BOY is Solito's contribution to the beloved Filipino macho dancer genre.



For those that like even edgier movies OUTFEST had a screening of Pornography. A gay porn star's mysterious disappearance becomes an obsession for both a writer and another adult film star, leading them into dark supernatural corners that were never meant to be explored. In his debut feature, writer-director David Kittredge (TARGET AUDIENCE) uses the world of adult entertainment as the launching point for a dark and Lynchian tale. The sexy and unsettling PORNOGRAPHY features an impressive ensemble, including queer indie faves Matthew Montgomery and Dylan Vox.
