CONTENT WARNING:
Groundbreaking transgender comedian, Ian Harvie is unafraid to joke about subjects no other comedian has ever touched. Harvie unveils his first-ever live standup comedy concert film, poking fun at topics from top surgery to his fear of public restrooms to his active sex life.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Ian Harvie's debut stand‐up comedy concert film, Superhero, is the culmination of his very personal journey of having been born a girl and later becoming a self‐made man. It’s Ian's facile sense of ease, not just his gender‐bending presence that makes his humor groundbreaking; and has lead him to make history on more than one occasion. It’s these very qualities that attracted the notorious Margaret Cho to publicly rave about Ian’s work and have him as her opening act for years. Ian is 'quite possibly the most unique comic in the country' says Frontiers Magazine and yet his jokes strike the core of all shared human experiences.

J, a black lesbian stud with mad swagger and stone butch tendencies, and her best friend Seb, a cute white twink with a penchant for brightly colored nail polish, do everything together. Seb assists JJ when she’s photographing gay and straight weddings, they club together, get high together, and they live together…usually harmoniously, even when JJ catches Seb masturbating in their flat’s kitchen. When JJ meets a beautiful femme named Elle at the local pub, Seb warns her that the seductress is trouble, to no avail: JJ is determined to have her, whether she’s seeing someone else or not. As JJ becomes more and more enamored with Elle and they begin a tumultuous, boundary‐pushing relationship, while Seb is busy lusting after his online conquests while thwarting the advances of a flamboyant drug dealer, their once solid friendship begins to waver. But it turns out that Elle has something to hide that JJ can’t wrap her mind around, and Seb’s manly cyber crush isn’t all that he seems. As urban London’s homophobia affects both of their lives in different ways, JJ and Seb must lean on each other and both are forced to reevaluate their own stereotypes and beliefs on love and life. Description courtesy of Angelique Smith of Frameline Film Festival.
Stud lesbian JJ works with her gay best friend Seb as wedding photographers. When JJ falls in love with a beautiful diva, JJ and Seb’s friendship is tested, and she’s forced to chose between her hot new lover and her best friend.
