ABOUT THE MOVIE: A behind-the-scenes look at the 34th Miss Gay America contest where fifty-two ordinary gentlemen go to extraordinary lengths to be crowned as winner. PAGEANT follows five of the most talented and beautiful female impersonators as they prepare to dominate in this underground competition. Featuring stunning musical numbers, this movie dives into the heart and soul of this make-believe world: the men behind the make up. Hear from the contestants themselves and those who accompany them on this quest: husbands, mothers, sons, and little brothers.

Be sure to ask for PAGEANT at fine retailers everywhere!

NewFest 2008: The 20th Anniversary NY LGBT Film Festival will take place June 5-15! The full program, schedule, and ticketing information is now available online. The fest opens with the NYC Premiere of Stewart Wade’s funny and charming high-school comedy, Tru Loved, and closes with Tom Gustafson’s sexy musical ode to Shakespeare, Were the World Mine! From the steamy Israeli gay feature ANTARCTICA (pictured above) to Ru Paul’s campy musical short ZOMBIE PROM, this year’s fest is an A to Z tour of everything LGBT!

The 51st edition of the San Francisco International Film Festival opens April 24th (with Catherine Breillat’s The Last Mistress, starring 21st century diva Asia Argento) and continues through May 8th.

One of the top festivals in the world, the SF International has hosted some of the greatest cinematic luminaries of all time — many of whom can be heard at length in podcasts on the history section of the SFIFF website. Highlights include Truman Capote receiving his tribute award in 1974 and answering audience questions about everything from breaking Humphrey Bogart’s arm to the real-life Holly Golightly. Or listen to the amazing Bette Davis (who jokingly begins her November, 1969 tribute with her legendary line: “What a dump!”). She reminisces at wildly entertaining length about her career (with the audience full of many obviously gay fans). She talks about her feelings about the trend of nudity in film (“I would NEVER have stripped in front of a camera.”), Barbra Streisand getting $1 million as an actor, how lucky she was that Claudette Colbert’s back injury resulted in her getting the Margo Channing role in All About Eve, how she regretted not getting the lead in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and she even gives generous props to drag artiste Arthur Blake for being the original Bette Davis impersonator (“For many years noone imitated me and it frightened me to death.”)

See below for info on how to order your tickets now for the biggest women’s party yet. Come meet these two super hot L Word stars AND experience a live aerial performance by Dreya Weber (star of THE GYMNAST).

This year’s event is also being taped for inclusion as an extra on the Season 5 DVD release.
