 Out
In The Silence
(Director Joe Wilson
and Dean Hamer USA, 2009 57 min)
Out in the Silence captures the remarkable
chain of events that unfold when the announcement
of filmmaker Joe Wilson’s wedding to
another man ignites a firestorm of controversy
in his small Pennsylvania hometown. Drawn
back by a plea for help from the mother of
a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson’s
journey dramatically illustrates the universal
challenges of being an outsider in a conservative
environment and the transformation that is
possible when those who have long been constrained
by a traditional code of silence summon the
courage to break it. Out in the Silence will
challenge you to rethink your values and help
close the gaps that divide our communities.

 The
Baby Formula (Alison Reid,
Canada, 2008 100min) Athena and Lilith are
two women in love who are about to make history
by having the first baby born to two biological
mothers and no father. The couple wants a
biological child of their own so badly that
they use an experimental scientific process
to make “female sperm” from Lilith’s
stem cells. The process was developed as a
fertility treatment in a lab where Athena
works. It has been successful in mice, but
has never been tried in humans. When the process
works and Athena becomes pregnant with Lilith’s
baby, the two are thrilled. However, some
rules were broken, and they must keep what
they’ve done a secret.
Tension builds when Lilith becomes jealous
and uses the same method to get pregnant behind
Athena’s back. Adding to the turmoil
is Athena’s brother, Larry who claims
to be the father of Lilith’s baby. To
prove him wrong, the couple is forced to divulge
the truth of their experimental conceptions
to their families. Pregnant with humor and
unexpected twists, the family meeting results
in a collision of differing views. Athena’s
religious right-wing mother, Wanda wavers
between total denial and going through the
roof. Her father Karl seems dumbfounded. Grandma
Kate accepts the news with quips of humor,
wisdom and love. Lilith’s gay alcoholic
parents, Daniel and Edward, are ready to be
granddads but have their own troubles to face.
While everyone sits back to digest the surprising
news of the pregnant couple, Karl makes an
announcement that sends the family meeting
into a tailspin. The trauma that results brings
life’s blessings into perspective and
acts as a catalyst for change and growth.
What begins as a story of advancements in
science, The Baby Formula ultimately is a
tale of love, acceptance and family. With
When The Time Is Right (Linda
Anderson, USA, 2008, 11:18) A time traveling
alarm clock helps a woman to decide whether
or not to move in with her girl friend.
