Seriously.. one of my favorite things about a film festival is that they appeal to so many different types of people. It goes way beyond gender, class and race... there's a unique niche for everyone.
This year, with Reel Affirmations, the films are great, of course.
But what's really cool this year is how many different parties we have scheduled BEFORE the festival even starts.
We have The Women, starring Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. Then, we have our Schrwarzwald event, which is such a cool concept! It's put on by the guys from Saint at Large, and hopefully offer something to a segment of our community that we don't serve all that much - the leather and club crowd.
Before the actual craziness of seeing Schwarzwald, we're hosting a Trailer Trash night downstairs!
And after that... we have our VIP party at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.. how cool is that? I want everyone to bring cameras and post them to one of our facebook/myspace/flickr/friendser/linkedin pages... who can keep track... there's so many of them. I'd love to invent an app that allows me to update every single one at the same time.
Oh well...
Everything will be posted on the website soon, but here are all the details in case anyone's reading.
• Sept. 27th: Trailer Trash & Schwarzwald at town
Trailer Trash/VIP Drag Queen Party begins at 8 pm; Schwarzwald Dance Party begins at 11 pm
2009 8th St. NW, Washington, DC
Trailer Trash: Join town’s cavalcade of drag queens and dancers as they pay an homage to the movies and screen trailers from some of the biggest and most important movies that will be screened at Reel Affirmations 2008! Enjoy movie themed snacks, songs and shows in this super fun VIP preview of what’s to come.
Schwarzwald: The Movie You Can Dance To comes to us from Saint at Large, the producers of NYC’s legendary Black Party. Appropriately enough, it features a soundtrack that will have asses shaking and imagery that will make jaws drop. Darkly erotic, Schwarzwald is unlike anything to have hit DC . Writer-director Richard Kimmel has crafted a work that combines scenes from the infamous Black Party with footage filmed at Whipman's Estate in Otisville, N.Y. The party sequences—voguing queens doing runway, gorgeous sculpted dudes rocking the dance floor in bizarre outfits—are melded with a tableau of outdoor sex scenes, overlaid with a Merlinesque aesthetic. Featuring Buck Angel, Blu Kennedy, and Daniel Cartier, these segments illustrate carnal pagan rituals through the use of animal masks, fetish gear, bondage play, and group sex. Oh my…
