The Country Teacher is a movie about being lost and being found, it is about how to find your place in the world and, most of all, it is about the costs of lonliness and what we might be willing to do not to be alone. It is a beautifully made movie and tackles a range of taboo subjects, especially taking place in the Czech Republic.

Constable 027 is the story of Llanden, a young man in the Sussex police service, only 6 weeks on the job. Originally billed as a short about whether or not the service would accept him as he is, this short (only 14 minutes) is more an exploration of Llanden’s journey to define himself and his place in the service than anything else.

Danny is a gay 14 year-old in Holland. Danny comes from a small community where few are completely accepting of others’ sexual orientation. All Danny wants is a way to get int touch with other gay teens in his community and, well, all of the Netherlands. The solution? A boat in Amsterdam’s Pride Boat Parade. And oh what a stir he causes.

Stubblejumpers is a 48 minutes film about Doug Wilson, as social activist who got his start in Saskatchewan after launching a human rights complaint against the University of Saskatchewan (U of S)in 1975 for being fired from his teacher’s assistant position for being gay. It is apparent to me that Doug Wilson is a man who brought about a great deal of social awareness and change, representing hope to many people and inspiring even more. In a year where Harvey Milk has dominated the headlines, it is easy to forget that he was not alone, which is why I felt that this film was so important.

The Inside Out Festival opened last night with Patrick, Year 1.5 at The Bloor. I will be covering the Inside Out Festival all next week.
From their press release:
Reborn to a theme of Love! Drama! Sex! Politics!, the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film and Video Festival (formerly the Inside Out Toronto Lesbian And Gay Film and Video Festival) has widened its tent and its thematic universe in its 19th year.
This year, Inside Out presents films from a total of 29 countries, and the spotlight shines on France with an eclectic mix of 15 Gallic features, docs and shorts. With more than 80 screenings, special events, parties, artist talks and panel discussions, Inside Out’s final “teenage year” will be a combination growing-up celebration and no-holds-barred creative outburst.
“As we strive to become the most comprehensive queer film festival in the world,” says Director of Programming, Jason St. Laurent, “we hope everyone will find something (or someone) to love at Inside Out.”
