CONTENT WARNING:
Sadie’s art is her photography. Nico’s art is her life. Together they explore Britain’s 60’s mod culture of music, fashion, drugs and vintage scooters in contemporary Los Angeles. Sadie observes the world through the lens of her 35 mm camera, but everything changes when she meets Nico, the new “mod” girl who was born with Milroy’s disease that causes her to have abnormal swelling in her foot. Nico doesn’t hide her disability, in fact she loves the spotlight. Sadie is drawn into Nico’s thrilling world of aesthetics where Sadie learns about herself and who she really is.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
A smash hit at festivals everywhere, E.E.Cassidy's award winning film "We Are the Mods" starts the festival off with a bang. Cassidy perfectly captures the mood and feel of neo-Mod Los Angeles complete with motor scooters and vintage ska. Come and see the movie Filmmaker magazine called "an affectionate and good-hearted homage to not only seminal films of the 1960s but also to the heady rush of young artistic discovery familiar to any sensitive ex-high schooler." We Are The Mods is a teen drama using the familiar territory of 'good girl corrupted by the bad' while simultaneously serving as a tribute to 60s cult classics like Blow-Up and the early work of Jean-Luc Godard.

Famed Portuguese filmmaker João Pedro Rodrigues bring his latest film, hailed in the Un Certain Regard category at Cannes, to the Boston LGBT Film Festival. Rodrigues' tale of Tonia, a veteran transsexual in Lisbon’s drag shows, who watches the world around her crumble, continues our focus on Latin cinema.
Once upon a time there was a war… In the darkness of the night, a young soldier goes AWOL. Tonia, a veteran transsexual in Lisbon’s drag shows, watches the world around her crumble. The competition from younger artists threatens her star status. Under pressure from her young boyfriend Rosário to assume her female identity, the sex change operation that will transform her into a woman, Tonia struggles against her deeply-held religious convictions. If, on the one hand, she wants to be the woman that Rosário so desires, on the other, she knows that before God she can never be that woman. And her son, whom she abandoned when he was a child, now a deserter, comes looking for her. Tonia discovers that she’s ill. To get away from all her troubles she travels to the countryside with Rosário, on the excuse of visiting his brother. Rosário takes the road of his childhood but will never find the right way. Lost, they find themselves in an enchanted forest, a magical world where they come across the enigmatic Maria Bakker and her friend Paula. And that meeting will turn their whole world on its head… (Description courtesy of Cannes Film Festival)
