PINKEYE AT MONDOHOMO
This queerly cinematic program features videos that range from the
hot and sexy to the informative and inspiring, also diving into the
surreal and the darkly humorous along the way for good measure. These
movies represent the artistic expression of diverse queer filmmakers,
traversing the terrains of both the accessible and the experimental,
and offering socio-political voice to lesbians, gays, bisexuals,
transgender, BDSM, and all things queer! Last, but not least: All
films in this program are Atlanta premieres!

Jonny McGovern' is better known as "The Gay Pimp" and his newest

dudes get it on, then this is for you!
That's Unfortunate
Directed by Dean Hamer. 6 mins. 2005. USA. Shot on DV.
This testament to the struggles being fought every day within the
queer community profiles AIDS activists who storm the Family Research
Council in an attempt to address the fallacies of "abstinence only"
sex education.
Ent-homo-Philia
Directed by Hima B. 10 mins. 2003. USA. Shot on DV.
What could be said to be the lesbian answer to Burroughs'/
Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, this film is a dark and kinky metaphor for

mating rituals are made as a beetle-woman unsuspectingly participates
in her mate's metamorphosis.
Maggots and Men
Directed by Oakie Treadwell. 4 mins. 2007. USA. Shot on 16mm and 8mm.

Escrito
Directed by Monica Enriques. 2 mins. 2007. USA. Shot on DV.

disturbing photo sculpture technique.
Cremmate: Muffy
Directed by Diane Wilkins. 3 mins. 2006. USA. Shot on DV.
We all know that lesbians just love their cats, but some couples
aren't satisfied with just keeping their passed pets in their
thoughts. When catastrophe strikes, innovation and a nice hot cup of
coffee save the day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here
Directed by Jules Rosskam. 25 mins. 2007. USA. Shot on DV.
The intersections of class, race, and privelege are personified,
herem through the depiction of a very special friendship. This film's
charm rests in the fact that it presents a trans character whose
'transness' is never discussed, described, defined or questioned.
Paul is a one-of-a-kind character so far in filmmaking as his manhood
nor his body are ever legitimized.
Milonga Gay
Directed by Paul Chernosky. 5 mins. 2006. Argentina. Shot on DV.
This trailer for an upcoming documentary feature takes us to Buenos
Aires, Argentina and into the steamy atmosphere of the world's first

kisser than he is, there is only one thing to do. This scorchingly
hot piece of queer celluloid has amused and aroused men and women
from Berlin to Miami!

and a tribe.
