2nd Best

CONTENT WARNING:
Sometimes you just can’t stop fighting. Riley and Adrienne ( a real life couple from Portland, Oregon) are coming back from a long day at IKEA already in a terrible mood, and even though Riley knows Adrienne is on the brink of a breakdown about having to eat the only thing they have left in the house (a brick of cold tofu) Riley still decides it’s a good time to ask Adrienne to reassure her about their sex life.

Coffee and Pie

CONTENT WARNING:
Coffee & Pie is a self proclaimed anti-romantic comedy, and yet a quirky love story of sorts. It is a contemporary tale about relationships and the people who engage in them. The story examines two characters; June and October and their drastically different notions and takes on love and life.

Salas S.A.L

CONTENT WARNING:
The new employee will have a long term relationship with the Company. No longer can be said that she doesn't have what it takes to work in Salas S.A.L. It's not true that Salas S.A.L. takes advantage of the staff. Then her boss tells her that she doesn't think anymore that it is a bad idea to fall in love with an employee.

Sometimes People...

CONTENT WARNING:
Set in the early 1900's, the film follows the story of Margaret Harkin, a lower class seamstress, and her encounter with Emily Blake, an elegant young debutante from an aristocratic household. As Emily's overbearing mother makes the final arrangements for her daughter to be married and Margaret labours to complete the dress Emily is to be wed in, it becomes apparent that any form of association between the two women could prove too volatile to be permitted. Sometimes People... is the story of two women who meet, fall for each other, and then explode violently upon touching.

Strangers

CONTENT WARNING:
Strangers tells the story of a mother, daughter and daughter-in-law, outwardly bound by kinship but inwardly devoid of emotional closeness. When a former relationship is rekindled between the latter two, the household is forced to confront a disconcerting truth.

Taking a Chance on God

FREE

Sun, May 06 @ 2:00 pm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
in person
A POW in Nazi Germany, Vietnam peace promoter, leading gay rights advocate and loving partner of 46 years to Charles Chiarelli, Taking a Chance on God follows the extraordinary life of 86-year-old Jesuit priest John McNeill. This powerful documentary, tells McNeill’s inspiring story of faith, love and perseverance in the face of oppression and rejection. McNeill, the co-founder of the LGBT Catholic group Dignity NY, author of the revolutionary “The Church and the Homosexual,” and leader in the gay community during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, has refused to let his voice be silenced despite being expelled from the Jesuits after forty years of faithful service. Chronicling his love for the Church, the LGBT community, his Jesuit brothers and his partner Charlie, “Taking a Chance on God” proves that there can and should be harmony between the gay community and the Catholic Church. (Description courtesy of Emily Suttmeier, Woodstock Film Festival.)
Taking A Chance On God chronicles the extraordinary life and legacy of 85 year old John McNeill, gay Catholic priest, founder of the LGBT spiritual movement, and pioneering voice of gay liberation. Refusing to betray his own conscience, McNeill stood up to the man who became Pope Benedict XVI and would not be silenced. The Film depicts McNeill’s remarkable journey: growing up in Buffalo, escaping death as a POW in Nazi Germany, falling in love with his husband, writing groundbreaking books, coming out on national television, calling for compassion and justice during the AIDS crisis, and celebrating the unique spiritual gifts of LGBT people. Theologians, journalists, activists, and LGBT religious figures, including openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, movingly testify to McNeill’s influence and importance.
