The rose-colored glasses of memory always idealize one person from the past with whom everything could have been perfect – if it hadn’t gone so horribly wrong. Julie and Me explores a friendship and love that gets its second chance. Freshly single Juliet seeks out her childhood friend Julie with whom she hasn't spoken in fifteen years because of a misplaced kiss. Initially their relationship is strailed, but they try to reclaim their friendship, explore what went wrong and try to make sense of the chemistry and sexual tension boiling just below the surface. Cheeky and humorous animated vignettes keep this emotionally intense love story light. A modern romance, Julie and Me effectively looks at the underlying tensions in relationships and how those tensions can both enhance and destroy intimacy.

A former teacher at the School of the MFA, Barbara Hammer is peerless in her career that spans over three decades as an experimental filmmaker focusing on the lesbian world. In a compelling, humorous, and empowering contribution to lesbian history, her most recent effort recontextualizes images that portray lesbian behavior as illicit, mannish, and perverse. By defying the intended meanings of these popular lesbian images taken from narrative, medical, education and adult entertainment films dating back to the nineteenth century, History Lessons reclaims and rewrites lesbian history without shame. Wonderfully playful, History Lessons is an irreverent reconstruction, a filmic lesbian history that dates back to the very dawn of cinema itself.

This universal romantic comedy about the quest for true love centers on two 20-something opposites thrown together by their respective best friends in the hopes of igniting a romance. Writer Dan Bucatinsky stars as the Jewish son of sensitivety group psychologists and RRichard Ruccolo (Two Guys and a Girl) plays his reluctant, Bruce Willis-esque soulmake. Refreshing for its depiction of a central couple who just happen to be gay, All Over the Guy focuses on troubles of the heart common to homosexual and heterosexual relationships alike. Executive produced by Don Roos (the gay writer/director of The Opposite of Sex), the film features Sasha Alexander (Twin Falls Idaho), Adam Goldberg (Saving Private Ryan), Lisa Kudrow, Christina Ricci, and Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond).
