Director: Zak Tucker

Framed by Henry’s “tell-all” interview with a hard-boiled newspaper reporter (Steve Sheffler), POSTER BOY’s loose narrative style and jangly photography bring a lively and edgy sensibility to this timely story of loyalty and identity. As POSTER BOY begins, political activist Anthony (Jack Noseworthy) awakens as another one- nightstand disappears without a trace. His sullen roommate Izzie (Valerie Geffner) thinks back to happier times with a boyfriend we learn has given her HIV.

FAQS
UK/USA, 2005, 90 minutes, Color
Director: Everett Lewis
In English

Destiny takes in India after saving him from a queer bashing, and together with her other 'rainbow child' Lester, they live together and become a family. After working all day to put food on the table, Destiny gets dragged up with her silver pistol and patrols the streets of West Hollywood, protecting her 'children' and 'other people's children' from the straight jocks who chase or bash gays for a rush.

Against this unconventional but fully-functioning queer family, will India find true love or forever be a cute one-night stand? Will Lester find a girlfriend (or shave her legs), and will Destiny ever find herself a man? Anything can happen, and in FAQS everything does happen in a very short space of time - climaxing with our queer musketeers freeing themselves from the homophobic bonds of an oppressive American society
