For our first ever Bi Request shorts program, volunteer guest curator Amy André selected films made by bisexual directors and/or about bisexual subjects. Bi Request was inspired by Frameline’s ongoing commitment to promote bisexual visibility and display bi images in film.

In a spoof of 1950s educational films, Shady Bi warns of the “dangers” of bisexual women, while nature-loving bisexuals go camping in Bi Camp. In Checkout, friends (and ex-lovers) Corey and Max compete for the same woman at the grocery store, and a scorned bisexual goes postal in One Useless Prick. A bisexual transwoman documents her transition in Whatever Suits You. In Lauren’s Call, a Cuban immigrant couple fights to make their relationship work in the midst of a sexual identity crisis. And Single Sexy Bilingual is a black comedy about being bilingual, bisexual, and bipolar

From Jan Krüger, the director of Unterwegs and The Whiz Kids, comes Hotel Paradijs, a film about the magic and darkness of desire. Though happy with his boyfriend Christian, Paul finds himself seduced by Claire. But is it really Claire, or just the idea of falling in love with a woman, that makes Paul turn away from his lover?
