11pm-1am.: CAMP -Inspired by his stint as a camper and later counselor at the upstate New York theater camp, Stagedoor Manor, screenwriter Todd Graff made his directorial debut with “Camp”. This effervescent movie explores the kooky world of Camp Ovation, a summer music-theater workshop for teenagers in upstate New York. At this camp, most of the boys are gay, the gym counselor is ignored, and everyone worships at the altar of Stephen Sondheim. Musical and theatrical ’send-ups’ are everywhere as the film lives up to the various connotations of its title.

Outwardly a sophisticated bon vivant and international partygoer, he was also a dedicated musical professional who routinely spent hours agonizing over a single rhyme or musical transition. The life and legacy of America’s most sophisticated songwriter is the subject of this documentary, which features interviews with the performers and artists who knew Porter best, and clips of more than 20 classic performances from his movie musicals.

10:30-11:45pm: -Just as We Are (Tal Como Somos)- Tal Como Somos (Just as We Are) exposes the realities of living within a culture where strong beliefs about sexual identity mean condemnation and rejection for those whose sexual orientation or manner is different.

The bilingual film (English/Spanish) showcases individuals who dare to risk it all–and be loved–for their truth.

10-11pm: -Emile Norman: By His Own Design -This is a portrait of the self-taught California artist Emile Norman, who, at age 90, is still working with the same passion for life, art, nature and freedom that inspired him through seven decades of a changing art scene and turbulent times for a gay man in America. The film chronicles his independent spirit: how it developed from his early days on a ranch in the San Gabriel Valley; brought him success in New York City in the ’40s and ’50s; and gave him the confidence to leave the New York art scene and find freedom in Big Sur, where he and Brooks Clement, his partner of 30 years, built a house and created a haven for a circle of friends and artists that is still growing today.

This act of resistance was a dramatic turning point for the transgender community, and the beginning of a new human rights struggle that continues to this very day.
