Film / Film News / News GayCharlotte film fest starts this week
Posted By Matt Brunson on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 5:23 PM
The Second Annual GayCharlotte Film Festival will be held over the course of four days, beginning Thursday, Jan. 28, and running through Sunday, Jan. 31. All events except the closing night film will be presented at The Charlotte Lesbian & Gay Community Center, 820 Hamilton St., Ste. B11, in the NC Music Factory.
The event kicks off with an evening screening of Little Ashes, starring Twilight vampire-heartthrob Robert Pattinson as the brilliant artist Salvador Dali. The screening of the film, which looks at the intertwined lives (and romances) of Dali, filmmaker Luis Bunuel and writer Federico Garcia Lorca, will be accompanied by Spanish-themed festivities, including tapas from Solé, sangria and music. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., with the movie beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The following three days will feature showings of over a dozen other movies, culminating with the closing-night screening of the film festival favorite Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay! at 7 p.m. at the Park Terrace Cinema. The movie will be followed by a "Meet the Filmmaker" session and a closing night party.
The Opening Gala costs $25 ($45 Valentine's Day couple special). All subsequent films cost $8. Festival passes are also available. For a complete schedule, including titles and times, go here.
