The
World Unseen
(Shamim Sarif,
UK/South Africa, 2008, 94 min)
In this moving and passionate love story set
in 1950’s South Africa, free-spirited
Amina (Sheetal Sheth) has broken all the
rules of her own conventional Indian community,
and the new apartheid-led government, by
running a café with Jacob, her 'colored' business
partner. When she meets Miriam (Lisa Ray),
a young traditional wife and mother, their
unexpected attraction pushes Miriam to question
the rules that bind her. As Amina helps Miriam’s
sister-in-law to hide from the police, a chain
of events is set in motion that changes both
women forever. In a system that divides white
from black and women from men, what chance
is there for an unexpected love to survive?
From overcoming oppression to finding personal
freedom, from the hardships of a loveless
marriage to the hesitant joy of an unexpected
love affair, The World Unseen transports the
viewer to a vibrant, colorful world that is
universal in its themes. Audience Award for
Best Feature at Miami Gay and Lesbian Film
Festival and Best Director Award, World Cinema
Section, at Phoenix Film Festival.

Breakfast
with Scot
(Laurie
Lynd, Canada, 2008, 95 min)
Officially sanctioned by the NHL and the
Toronto Maple Leafs, Breakfast with Scot
represents the first time a professional
sports league has allowed their logo and
uniforms to be used in a gay-themed movie.
Eric (Tom
Cavanagh of the hit series "ED,"
"Scrubs," "Eli Stone")
lives for all things hockey. Now in his thirties,
he's managed to turn his stint as an ex- Toronto
Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator
for sports TV. He's living the dream! But
when Eric's boyfriend Sam (Ben Shenkman
of "Angels in America" "Law
& Order," "Canterbury's Law")
announces that they're about to become temporary
guardians of a young boy, Eric's comfortable
world shatters. Enter Scot (Noah Bernett)
-- a recently orphaned, swishy 11-year-old
sissy-of-a-boy -- and Eric's mirror opposite.
Freaked out by Scot's 'joie de vivre,' Eric
and Sam gently nudge Scot away from scented
hand cream and all things pink, towards a
more 'acceptable' pastime – hockey.
But after Scot's disastrous first game, Eric
begins to rethink the compromises he's made
in his own life in order to be 'accepted.
Adapted from the novel by Michael Downing,
Breakfast with Scot is a touching comedy that
tells the story of a very 'straight' gay couple.
