CONTENT WARNING:

A shy young man with a passion for opera has his world turned upside down by a con artist who really does have a heart of gold.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Canadian director Yves Simoneau was represented in the Second Annual Boston Gay & Lesbian Film Festival with Pouvoir Intime; now his latest comic gem, although never homosexually explicit is suffused with a gay sensibility. After all, a film that finishes with the hero singing Bellini's Norma in drag for a group of macho hockey players can't be all straight. Perfectly Normal is a heartening tale full of dreams and joyous inspiration." - 15th Festival of Festivals, Toronto

A camp extravaganza that plays like a cross between a Carmen Miranda musical and an early episode of Star Trek. Vegas in Space is a low budget sci-fi-adventure-musical-comedy starring the legendary drag queen Doris Fish.

Three male soldiers have a sex change so they can go on an undercover mission to an all-woman planet, where they must uncover and foil a plot to disrupt the most important pleasure planet in the universe.

Ron Peck's next feature after his ground breaking Nighthawks is sort of a gay Long Good Friday featuring a motley crew of American gangsters as S&M and London hustlers. Jimmy Somerville and the Communards set the pace on the soundtrack for this big splashy take-off on Martin Scorsese territory that is governed by an unmistakably ga point of view.

In the docklands of East London stands the Empire State, a nightclub full of magic and mystery. Designed like an ocean liner, it’s become a battle ground where anything can happen. In the midst of the action, a young boy stows aboard to search for his friend who has disappeared in the entrails of the club.
