This short film program includes the following films:

Les Garcons de la Piscine (The Boys at the Pool)

CONTENT WARNING:
Les Garcons de la Piscine (The Boys at the Pool) is a drop-dead gorgeous documentary about a group of out synchronized swimmers in Paris. Supported by the French government and driven by their stern, yet supportive trainer, they work towards their ultimate goal - to compete in the Gay Olympics. Lousi Dupont's film is a well paced and exquisite film that will certainly make you rethink synchronized male swimming. In a good way.

Training Rules

CONTENT WARNING:
No drugs. No drinking. No lesbians. For more than 25 years, Penn State University women’s basketball coach Rene Portland made her training rules eminently clear. While the school administration turned a blind eye to Portland’s homophobic coaching philosophy, talented young players were harassed, threatened and even thrown off the team and stripped of their college scholarships.

Join us on closing day for another film focusing on youth and the LGBT experience. Director Sara St. Martin Lynne brings her feature length version of the short Rock in a Hard Place to the Boston LGBT Film Festival. This is a story about the transformative power of the friendship between four young kids living in a rural town.
Already firmly in a life crisis at 12, things go from bad to worse for Jesse Hawthorne when her emotionally disconnected father moves the family to a rural town, a place whose beauty belies the toxic normality at its core. Jesse is almost immediately bullied by the local mini-mean girls in training, who find Jesse’s tomboy nature both repellent and yet somehow attractive. Her only ally is neighbor Jacob, who has his own demons (including an aggressive paint huffing brother) that he is trying to escape. Together they form likely friendships with the local super nerds, and, as puberty begins to hit their circle, everyone soon has a crush on each other, regardless of gender. Once Jesse and her outsider posse discover punk rock and sneaking out to shows, nothing will stop them as they embrace who they are and rise above the closed minds of their community. Complete with an infectious soundtrack, Night Fliers will remind you about the transformative power of friendships, and how salvation can come from unexpected places.
