Leslie Jordan: My Trip Down the Pink Carpet
DVD Wolfe Price: $19.95 Now Shipping!
Synopsis:
My Trip Down The Pink Carpet is Leslie Jordan’s rollicking, faced-paced collection of sto-ries served up with wit, panache, and plenty of biting asides. Filled with overwrought childhood agonies, offbeat observations, and revealing celebrity encounters – from Boy George to George Clooney – it delivers a fresh, laugh-out-loud take on Hollywood, fame, addic-tion, gay culture, and learning to love oneself.
Recorded during Leslie’s live one-man-show in Atlanta, My Trip Down The Pink Carpet shows the singular comedian in rare form as takes material from his book of the same name and brings it to life onstage. With his signature southern drawl and self-deprecating humor, Leslie recounts the trials of being a gay, southern man with aspirations of entering show business. Above all, his story affirms the importance of defining your own success – even if you’re a man who fell out of the womb and landed smack dab in your mother’s high heels.

All Boys
DVD Wolfe Price: $19.95 Available: September 28, 2010
Synopsis:
In the wake of cultural events like the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Berlin wall came the rise of a newfound adult film industry in Eastern Europe. Markku Heikkinen’s revelatory documentary All Boys shows us both sides of this nascent industry, which can be interpreted as either a sign of sexual liberation or as the exploitation of disenfranchised young men.
In a hyperconnected world where erotic media is never far out of reach, All Boys is required viewing. Heikkinen uses beautiful cinematography, historical research and devastatingly honest interviews to give us a rare look behind the scenes of the adult film production process. In particular, he follows the rise and fall of actor Aaron Hawke – whose short career serves as a cautionary tale on the fleeting nature of stardom. Behind every seductive image is a story, and All Boys is intent on showing us how the story ends.
Year Produced: 2009
Directed By: Markku Heikkinen
Language: Czech and German
Run Time: 72 min.

DVD Wolfe Price: $24.95 Available: September 14, 2010
Synopsis:
Buy Loving Annabelle PLUS the classic film that inspired its creation, Madchen in Uniform!
Loving Annabelle: One Student, One Teacher, One Secret
Rising heart-throb Erin Kelly stars as Annabelle, a precocious Senator’s daughter who falls in love with her teacher Simone (gorgeous Diane Gaidry) at a stodgy Catholic girls boarding school. Inspired by the classic lesbian drama Maedchen in Uniform, out writer-director Katherine Brooks unveils this passionate tale of forbidden love with intelligence, wit and sensitivity.
Inspired by the 1931 German classic, MADCHEN IN UNIFORM, director Katharine Brooks’ LOVING ANNABELLE gives a modern telling of this “forbidden love” story that continues to be controversial to this day. With stunning cinematography by Cynthia Pusheck, LOVING ANNABELLE offers excellent performances from its female leads, Diane Gaidry and Erin Kelly, as well as a featured performance by Academy Award nominee/Golden Globe recipient Kevin McCarthy.
LOVING ANNABELLE explores the complexity and controversy of love and struggle between two women who have every reason to deny their feelings. Blind to the world around them, the two journey into a love affair destined to change their lives forever.
This handsome collector’s edition DVD is jam-packed with extras including alternate endings and deleted scenes.
Madchen in Uniform:
“A lesbian classic.” — AfterEllen.com
German screen legend Romy Schneider stars as spirited teenage orphan, Manuela—who arrives at a strict all-girl boarding school where she falls in love with her teacher, Fraeulein von Bernburg (played by the beautiful young Lilli Palmer) much to the dismay of the school’s authoritarian headmistress.
This 1958 remake of the historic 1931 film improves upon the original considerably—offering up a wonderful, poignant and extremely rare 1950s portrayal of youthful lesbian longing and truly forbidden love (while Manuela is head over heels infatuated with her teacher, the teacher is affectionate but entirely restrained). This gorgeously shot production is based upon the original 1930 play by German lesbian writer Christa Winsloe.
Never before released on video! Includes special bonus featurette: From Manuela To Annabelle (in which director Katherine Brooks discusses how Madchen in Uniform inspired Loving Annabelle).
NOTE: Loving Annabelle is English with closed captions / Madchen is German with subtitles.
Run Time: 168 min.

Brian Harris Krinsky (director, DISH)
“SHOW ME LOVE by Lukas Moodysson because the film triumphs in capturing with raw emotion the frustration, isolation and ultimately—the gutsiness—of two adolescents defying the norm and falling in love in a miserable small town. And also, WILD REEDS by André Techine because it successfully managed to titillate and engross me with its complex story of self-discovery set against political turmoil. The gorgeous actors and stunning cinematography kept me mesmerized. After all these years, I still can’t get either of these films out of my mind.”
Get your hands on Brian’s acclaimed short film DISH today — it’s featured on Wolfe’s latest gay shorts collection, BOYCRAZY.
