DESCRIPTION:Movies\nEvery Thursday Station 40 hosts free movie night after Food Not 
 Bombs at\n8:30PM!\n\nFor the month of June we are showing Queer films, not 
 because Obama oh-so\nliberally declared June "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and 
 Transgender Month," but\nbecause it has always been the month we remember 
 how fabulously we queer folk\nhave kicked hetero-patriarchy ass throughout 
 history. Double features this\nmonth!\n\n\nThursday June 10:\n\nParis is 
 Burning:  (1990) Poignant, well-received documentary that reveals 
 the\ncommunity of New York's minority drag queens, gay black and Latino men 
 who\ncross dress as women and invent the dance style of "voguing," 
 imitating the\nfashion poses on the covers of the magazine Vogue. As 
 director Jennie\nLivingston discovers, her subjects band together into 
 family-like "houses" for\nprotection, taking the same last names and 
 competing in drag balls where awards\nare given out for authenticity or 
 "realness," as well as other categories like\n"evening wear" and "executive 
 wear." Both an embracing and a refutation of the\nworld of high fashion, 
 the balls become the social locus of this underclass,\nunderground society 
 of outcasts defiantly refusing to be ignored by a world\nthat scorns them. 
 Paris Is Burning (1991) was one of several critically\nacclaimed 
 documentaries of the late 1980s and early 1990s excluded from 
 Academy\nAward nominations, eventually leading to a reappraisal of the 
 Academy's stodgy\nselection process.\n\nMa Vie en Rose [My life in Pink]: 
 (1997) Ludovic is a young boy who can't wait\nto grow up to be a woman. 
 When his family discovers the little girl blossoming\nin him they are 
 forced to contend with their own discomfort and the lack of\nunderstanding 
 from their new neighbors. Their anger and impatience cave and\nLudovic is 
 sent to see a psychiatrist in the hopes of fixing whatever is wrong\nwith 
 him. A movie that addresses trans-gender and gender issues in 
 general\nthrough the eyes of a child.\n\n
