Winner of the People's Choice Award at the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Set in Vancouver, this delightful and very sexy new lesbian feature is a rollicking tale centering around the pretty 19-year-old bookstore clerk Maggie, and her diverse circle of friends and family. Maggie's life has been going great, especially since meeting Kim, an itinerant artist. They fall for each other hard and fast enjoying art, sex and chocolate. The only problem is that Maggie's recently divorced mother, Lila, has decided to move in. Then there is the transexual Judy who befriends Lila and is in love with Frances the lesbian bookstore owner who is fighting customs over banned books. A great soundtrack including artists like Bif Naked, Ani DiFranco, and Sara McLachlan all lend to the humor and romance of this "sexy, funny, touching and always generous" romantic comedy" (David Stratton, Variety). A reception follows screening. Special thanks to the Canadian Consulate General.

Set in the nightclub scene of London's Soho and the working-class neighborhood of Blackpool, Like It Is offers a fast-paced, gritty look at modern urban gay life. Craig, a scrappy, bare-knuckled fighter from Blackpool who is struggling with his sexual identity, meets Matt, an ambitious young record promoter, outside a gay nightclub. Even though their one-night stand goes awry, Craig eventually shows up on Matt's doorstep. Kelvin, the charming but sleazy record company owner (played impressively by Roger Daltrey of the Who), acts as Matt's mentor, whose role in his life seems to get more and more complicated. While dealing with their own demons, Matt and Craig, form a relationship that drastically changes both their lives.
