2007 Reel Identities Film Festival

The Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New Orleans is excited to announce REEL IDENTITIES, its fourth Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Film Festival.

After a festival that exceeded expectations in 2005, Reel Identities went on hiatus in 2006 due to Hurricane Katrina, and instead held individual screenings and curated the film portion of the DecaFest gay arts festival in August. Now we're back with three days of programming July 20-22 in the space used by Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center at Tulane University's School of Architecture.

Opening night features include "A Four Letter Word," a romantic comedy by director Casper Andreas in which main character Luke ultimately realizes that being true to one's self may be the best way to deal with the many complications of a four-letter word called love.

Also on opening night will be "Itty Bitty Titty Committee," a new comedy by Jamie Babbit, who directed "But I'm a Cheerleader." In "Itty Bitty," Anna, who lives at home and works in a plastic surgeon's office, falls in with a haphazard group of dyke activists in a classic girl-becomes-woman tale. Daniela Sea (the L Word), Jenny Shimizu and Guinivere Turner star.

Reel Identities is supported in part by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, administered by the Arts Council of New Orleans.
