Frameline 2013

The 37th Frameline LGBT film festival was awesome! This year was a great one for documentaries; lots of really fantastic films!

Short list of favorites here, brief reviews of everything I saw below the cut.

Favorite Documentaries:

• The Secret Disco Revolution - just like it sounds, an alternative history of Disco and it's surprisingly subversive effect on culture, politics, and the music industry
  


• I Am Divine - a fantastic biopic of Harris Glenn Milstead, of John Waters' movie fame
  


• The Battle of AmFAR - all about my new hero, scientist-activist Dr Krim and her partner-in-AIDS-work, Elizabeth Taylor
  


• Out Here: the Queer Farmer Film Project - simple and powerful interviews with queer farmers around the country
  


• Interior. Leather Bar. - a thoughtful and experimental exploration of identity, sexuality, art, and perception; reminiscent of Exit Through the Gift Shop
  


• Ian Harvie Superhero - ridiculously funny transman stand-up comedy concert film
  

Favorite Feature:
Burning Blue - like Top Gun, but with more realistic and tragic gayness

Favorite Short:
The Man That Got Away - singing and dancing and tragedy, oh my!
