Laughing Matters...More
Sunday, October
15, 2006
1 p.m. • Lincoln
Theatre • $15
Laughing Matters…More follows
on the heels of the wildly successful
Laughing Matters shown at Reel
Affirmations 13. This outrageous docu-comedy features four of the hottest
lesbian comedians on the circuit: Elvira
Kurt (Canadian Female Comic of the year), Sabrina
Matthews (the darling
of Comedy Central), Rene Hicks (the
first African-American woman nominated for Best Female Stand-up at
the American Comedy Awards) and Vickie
Shaw (Southern Baptist lesbian mom turned crossover comic).
The film weaves together live standup routines performed by these four
very different, very funny women alongside behind-the-scenes footage
and lively, insightful interviews. The comedians speak candidly about
their childhoods, families, girlfriends, politics, religion and how
it is they got to be so darn funny. With a keen eye and a sharp ear,
director Andrea Meyerson has captured unique moments with enormously
talented women who not only entertain – they enlighten!
Andrea Meyerson, 2006, US, 73 mins.
WITH
Mistaken Identity
An Indiana couple stumbles on a drag queen slapfest at the Gay Pride
Festival, and quicker than you can say “Cher’s Farewell
Tour,” they’re arrested. Whisked off to jail with a full
house of gay characters, they soon find that the differences that separate
them can also bring them together.
Sarah Kellogg and Deb Griffin, 2006, US, 13 mins.
Join Mistaken Identity director
and former Reel Affirmations director Sarah
Kellogg after the film and at our
Women Filmmakers Brunch.
