Bi Request
85 Minute Running Time
Program: Shorts
This is the year of gorgeously tragic bi love stories—at least on film. While Frameline31’s program featured happy-go-lucky bisexuals flirting in supermarkets and frolicking in campgrounds, this year bisexual directors — and directors of films about bisexuals— focus their lenses on beautiful, sad, young things and on angst amidst lush landscapes of Danish countrysides, Swiss urban jungles and Belgian forests. But don’t worry: There’s fun-loving bisexual porn from New York, too!
In Three Summers, two Danish men share a secret. When a young Ukrainian immigrant tries to sell her new friend a dresser, subtle desires and obligations come between them in Ramona’s New Dresser. A mounting sense of violent desperation haunts a Swiss teen and his girlfriend and boyfriend, in Sad Boys Dance When No One Is Watching. Bisexual artist Frida Kahlo’s inspiration lives on in Blood and Monkey, an experimental piece from director (and fellow bisexual artist) April Hirschman. And the award-winning bi porn film The Bi Apple takes us on a gleeful and sexy romp through an unusual New York City apartment building, where a multiracial cast of tenants loves to play nice with the neighbors. — AMY ANDRE
