  EASTERN BOYS
A film by Robin Campillo
128 minutes, fiction, color, 2013
In
English, French, Russian & Ukrainian w/ English subtitles
Arriving from all over Eastern Europe, the men who loiter around the Gare du Nord train station in Paris are scraping by however they can, forming gangs for support and protection, ever fearful of being caught by the police and deported.
When the middle-aged, bourgeois Daniel approaches a boyishly handsome Ukrainian who calls himself Marek for a date, he learns the young man is willing to do anything for some cash. What Daniel intends only as sex-for-hire leads to a home invasion - and then an unexpectedly profound relationship. The drastically different circumstances of the two men's lives reveal hidden facets of the city they share.

 SHE MUST BE SEEING THINGS
A film by Sheila McLaughlin
94 minutes, fiction, color, 1987
DVD Extras: Inside Out (25', 1977 Silent Film by Sheila McLaughlin), 60' Q+A with the Director.
Agatha is an international lawyer, Jo a filmmaker. The two women are lovers. While Jo is on the road showing her films, Agatha discovers and reads her diaries. Problems ensue as Agatha's transgression leads to jealousy and a spiraling cycle of sexual obsession.
Sheila Dabney and Lois Weaver star in this landmark lesbian classic, now digitally restored. Revelatory for its representation of a new lesbian desire, She Must Be Seeing Things put forth a politicized eroticism that mirrored the burgeoning butch/femme scene at the time.
“Eroticism, voyeurism, and female desire. A thought-provoking film.” - Sight & Sound
“A wryly sophisticated comedy...like a lesbian homage to Unfaithfully Yours.” - Boston Globe
“The sex scenes are refreshingly frank.” - Time Out London
“Sheila McLaughlin shows that a love story can transcend sexual preference.”
- La Republica (Italy)
