Out Late

  • $7.00
  • Director: Jennifer Brooke
  • 2008, Canada, 63 minutes

This brilliant collection of folks who simply came out a bit later than the rest of us will touch your hearts and lift your spirits.  Interviews and footage crisscross all adult ages, from slightly mature to 81 years young, before the folks here decide they’ve had enough and come OUT already!  The sheer relief and joy these people feel as they accept themselves is plenty to watch, but seeing the hopeful twinkle in the eyes of those who have found partners and those who still hope to will bring joy to your heart as well, even if you haven’t yet found yourself.

The Love That Won’t Shut Up

  • Director: Ivan E. Coyote/Veda Hille
  • 2007, Canada, 22min.

This fascinating look at LGBT history is a twenty-two minute collection of clips assembled from interviews with seven queers (three gay men, two lesbians, one transgendered man and one woman who used to be a lesbian but has been with her male partner for thirty-eight years). What was it like being queer in the 50s? the 60s? the 70s? Warning lights flashed before police raids on the Vanport bar; butches carried knives for protection; drag queens could only wear women’s clothes during their performances—on the street they could be arrested for soliciting. These interviews are the oral histories that provide a glimpse of what life was like.
