SYNOPSIS
Tala, a
London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin prepares for an
elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters
Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali.
Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more
different from each other but the attraction is immediate. Tala’s
feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon both women
reveal their feelings for each other. But Tala is not ready to accept
the implications of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to
Jordan where her chain-smoking high-brow mother finishes preparations
for an ostentatious wedding.
As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering
family tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala
to be true to herself. Meanwhile heartbroken Leyla relishes her newly
found sense of identity and self-respect and moves on with her new life
– much to the shock of her tradition-loving Indian parents. Single
again, Tala flies back to London – but it will take more than just a
date set up by Ali and Leyla’s sister Zara to win Leyla back.

plans to rescue his former love from whatever "she-devil" has trapped

SYNOPSIS
Inspired
by Jean-Luc
Godard's "Masculin - Feminin" (1966), director David DeCoteau cleverly
contrasts the worlds of drag queens and leather queens in L.A.'s

Tataryn), a good- hearted 18-year-old innocent, who desires a life of
monogamous bliss after an all-night stand with a 30ish biker
(Christopher Bradley). Drag queens and cross-dressers (Erin Krystle,
Craig Olsen and Mink Stole) serve as a Greek chorus in this light gay
comedy with a satirical bite.

CHO: ASSASSIN
Directed by Kerry Asmussen
|


|

SYNOPSIS
The
incomparable Margaret Cho roars back onto the screen with her
latest concert, The Assassin Tour, recorded live in May of 2005
at the Warner Theater in Washington D.C. Uproariously
funny, poignant and scathing, this is one event movie you won't want to
miss!
Assassin features fresh doses of Cho’s always ground-breaking,
controversial and hilarious brand of humor from her critically
acclaimed "State of Emergency" tour. Says Margaret, “It’s a raw
interpretation of what’s happening daily in our ever-evolving or
devolving state of the union.”
Margaret's experience starring in her own network sit-com was
chronicled in her 1999 Off-Broadway show, I'm the One That I Want. That
movie ended up making more money per print than any movie in history.
It was also adapted into a best-selling autobiography, followed by two
more groundbreaking concert tours, Notorious C.H.O. and Revolution,
each generating more ticket and DVD sales than its predecessor.
