<p><strong>image+nation, Canada’s oldest and largest LGBT film festival, went off with a bang on Saturday night at the Cinéma Impérial with the screening of its closing film, DROOL, with American director Nancy Kissam in attendance.</strong></p>
<p>image+nation XXII’s jury, comprised of Joe Balass (Director, Baghdad Twist), Étienne Desrosiers (Director, Miroirs d’été) and Meg Hewings (Film critic, Hour), also presented the following prizes:</p>
<p>GRAND JURY PRIZE – BEST FEATURE FILM</p>
<p>SOUNDLESS WIND CHIME (Hung Wing Kit, China/Switzerland)<br />
“For its complex and sensual treatment of human relations, delivered with finesse in a self-reflexive narrative.”</p>
<p>JURY PRIZE – BEST DOCUMENTARY<br />
BEYOND GAY: THE POLITICS OF PRIDE (Bob Christie, Canada)</p>
<p>JURY PRIZE – BEST SHORT FILM<br />
JAMES (Connor Clemments, Northern Ireland)</p>
<p>Special Jury Mention – COWBOY (Til Kleinert, Germany)</p>
<p>20+20 VISIONARY AWARD<br />
This programmers’ award, created in 2007 to honour image+nation’s milestone 20th anniversary, is presented to a filmmaker who puts forth an innovative, creative and singular vision:<br />
FEATURE FILM: DONNE-MOI LA MAIN (Pascal-Alex Vincent, France)</p>
<p>“For its ability to both grasp and share with an audience the unspoken relationship between two symbiotic beings.”</p>
<p>Special Mention – MAGGOTS AND MEN (Cary Crowenwell, U.S.A.)</p>
<p>SHORT FILM: CECI N’EST PAS UNE DRAG QUEEN (Olivier Lessard, Canada)</p>
<p>AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD – FEATURE FILM<br />
DROOL (Nancy Kissam, U.S.A.), tied with HANNAH FREE (Wendy-Jo Carlton, U.S.A.)</p>
<p>AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD – DOCUMENTARY<br />
FERRON: GIRL ON A ROAD (Gerry Rogers, Canada)</p>
<p>AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD – SHORT FILM<br />
FALLING FOR CAROLINE (Christine Chew, Canada)</p>
<p>This edition of the festival also saw the launch of QUEEREMENT QUEBEC, a web-based initiative that gives all Quebecers – especially those living outside of Montreal – the opportunity to screen the homegrown shorts presented during the festival. This evolving project is a reflection of the myriad perspectives and viewpoints of those who live as members of the LGBT community in a contemporary Quebec society.</p>
<p>image+nation XXII offered up 11 days of wall-to-wall <strong>inventive queer cinema</strong> at the Cinéma Impérial, the Goethe Institute and the JA de Sève Theatre. Once more, image+nation confirmed its relevance on the local and international festival circuit as an important cultural event.</p>
<p>image+nation invites you to visit its website over the coming weeks, when the dates for its twenty-third edition will be revealed. For further information about the festival, please visit <a href="http://www.image-nation.org" target="_blank">www.image-nation.org</a></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify">Je vous donne un avant-goût du genre d&#8217;humour. Vous reconnaîtrez facilement sur quelle pub est basée ce vidéo qui donne déjà le goût de voir le film.</p>

<p>Young and queer. The cultural universe of growing up LGBT is in constant flux and ever expanding - pushing the boundaries and definitions of both “youth” and “queer” to carve out self-identified spaces and realities. The international roster of productions featured in Generation Q offer vibrant reflections of this. At times light-hearted and humorous and at others darkly disturbing, the features and shorts included this year offer a wide spectrum of perspectives and experiences on what it means to be young and queer in the 21st century.</p>
<p>Our Generation Q showcase has been a resounding success! Thanks to all who came out. There is still time to check out some cutting edge queer stuff though, so grab your partner and let&#8217;s go &#8217;round to the movies!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Boy</em>: saturday 31, 5 pm @ Imperial<em><br />
The Man Who Loved Yngve</em>: friday 30, 7 pm @ Imperial<em><br />
Shank</em>, wednesday 28, 9:15 pm<em><br />
To Faro</em> (Mein Freund aus Faro), wednesday 28, 7:15 @ Goethe-Institut</p>

Leur orientation sexuelle leur risque toujours la peine de mort. Et dans <a href="http://www.ilga.org/Statehomophobia/ILGA_carte_2009_A4.pdf" target="_blank">plus de 80 autres pays</a>, la répression policière, l&#8217;emprisonnement et l&#8217;intimidation sont monnaie courante.  <strong>Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride</strong>, présenté en <a href="http://www.biggaymovie.com/bgm/" target="_blank">première mondiale </a>dimanche à 14h à l&#8217;Impérial, dresse un bilan planétaire des droits de la communauté LGBT.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Quant à Annette Mangaard, elle livre un peu dans la même veine avec <strong>General Idea: Art, AIDS and the fin de siècle</strong>, présenté dimanche à 19h30 au Goethe-Institut de Montréal. Le groupe militantiste General Idea fut un collectif artistique aux retombées internationales qui fit son apogée dans les années 1980, au même moment où débutait l&#8217;épidémie de sida. Un documentaire artistique sur un groupe avant-gardiste et engagé qui allait devenir un précurseur de l&#8217;art LGBT et qui allait contribuer à faire évoluer les mentalités dans ce monde en changement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: none;">Les frères Carril interprètent les jumeaux Antoine et Quentin dans <strong><a href="http://www.widemanagement.com/fiche.php?id=801" target="_blank">Donne-moi la main</a></strong>, le premier long métrage du cinéaste <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal-Alex_Vincent" target="_blank">Pascal-Alex Vincent</a>. Visuellement attractifs, on a qu&#8217;une seule envie, c&#8217;est de prendre leurs mains et de les suivre dans leur périple vers l&#8217;Espagne! Mais attention, l&#8217;amitié fraternel, si forte soit-elle, peut parfois se rebeller et la main devenir un coup de poing. Doux ou violents, qui pourrait bien résister à leurs contacts charnels? Vous ? Eux&#8230;?</p>

<p style="text-align: none;">Pascal-Alex Vincent s&#8217;est distingué souvent avec ses courts métrages. Si vous n&#8217;avez jamais eu l&#8217;occasion d&#8217;en voir un, <strong>Bébé Requin</strong> est présenté ce samedi à 21h30 à l&#8217;Impérial suivi immédiatement de <strong>Donne-moi la main</strong>. À noter également que <strong>Bébé Requin </strong>faisait parti de la sélection officielle du Festival de Cannes de 2005.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you like to sing? Do you also enjoy dancing? Do you love watching both on screen simultaneously? Yes? OK good, because we&#8217;ve got some nice, campy fun lined up for in the next few days with a musical trio. Tonight at 9:30 is the rip-roaring <em>The Big Gay Musical</em>. Tongue-in-cheek indeed.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dBjMXfAn5gU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dBjMXfAn5gU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Next we have <strong><a href="http://www.hpmendoza.com/fruitflyfilm" target="_blank">FRUIT FLY</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.yorku.ca/greyzone/figtrees/" target="_blank">FIG TREES</a></strong>. Sunday&#8217;s <em>Fruit Fly</em> has the added bonus of having the director of the short, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-bGKD4zZlI" target="_blank"><strong><em>DAN&#8217;S BIG HAND</em></strong>S</a> in attendance. It&#8217;s always nice to see the people behind the film, don&#8217;t you think? <em>Fruit Fly</em> is a sometimes-quiet, sometimes finger-banging long-metrage with major diversity in its casting and subject matter. Directed by H.P. Mendoza,<em> </em>it&#8217;s about an American-Filipina performance artist in search of her bio mom (via the gay bars and the singing. And the dancing).</p>
<p>Rounding out our queer triangle (and mixing metaphors!) is John Greyson&#8217;s <em>Fig Trees</em> on Tuesday at 9:15 pm. Greyson&#8217;s latest is a remarkably complex and moving rumination on AIDS activism, which this celebrated director has put together through the scope of experimental documentary.</p>
<p>We like to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FN-4j7hfA0" target="_blank">move it, move it!</a></p>

It all starts with the Canadian premiere of a film lauded a<span>s “delightfully funny, hugely entertaining and unlike anything you’ve ever seen.” (Frameline33).</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Hollywood, je t&#8217;aime</strong></em> is about a a boy&#8217;s journey to California after being scorned in France. It&#8217;s sexy, it&#8217;s sweet, it&#8217;s touching, it&#8217;s funny, sufficiently artsy—it&#8217;s everything you could possibly want for an opening film! And if you&#8217;re wondering if that hot boy from Dr. Quin Medicine Woman is in it, then YES! Chad Allen <strong>does </strong>play a wickedly wonderful role in this one.  Because image+nation loves you.</span></span></p>
