Lukas has just turned twenty. He’s going through hormone replacement therapy induced male puberty, because he was born a girl. Ready for action, he launches into his new life in the big city, but things don’t exactly get off to a good start: on his arrival he finds he has been assigned to live not in a hostel for young men doing community service but in a nurses’ hostel where he is the only boy. While everyone else is merely somewhat disconcerted, Lukas’ daily life is nothing but stress. For him, being transgender means constantly being put into false categories.

Please join us for this very special screening. Many of the films subjects are local and will be present. A feature length documentary, “Out For The Long Run” looks at the lives of openly gay high school and college age athletes. Inspired by a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, the film's focus is on a handful of openly gay high school and college athletes as they navigate the turbulent waters of their uncertain world. Utilizing footage shot by our cameras and video diaries kept throughout the year, we will show the world a new generation of courage in what could be the most homophobic place on a high school campus: the locker room. At a time where young gay men and women are literally being bullied to death, this film's poignant message is, there is hope.

Journey back to the 1960s and the dangerously sexy section of Paris known as Pigalle with Gigola. Formerly a precocious schoolgirl, Georges drops out of medical school and reinvents herself as Gigola, a black tuxedo attired seducer of women. It's 1963 and Paris is sizzling with sex. The stylishly butch Gigola spends her days roaming chic Parisian cafés, taking on the male criminal underclass at its own game, enticing pretty femmes away from their pimps, breaking hearts and making a few enemies along the way. Her evenings are spent in famous lesbian cabaret bar Chez Moune, picking up rich older women who keep her in the decadent style she has become accustomed to. It's not the life her parents wished for her, but it's a life she enjoys, or so it seems.
