 Are you an aspiring actor who is also trans? Well, you might have a sound your niche already. Award-winning trans director Rhys Ernst is looking for some fine young gentlemen to audition for the lead role in his upcoming MFA thesis comedy Tristan and Zooey. He describes the character as a transitioned 20-something boy-next-door type. SYNOPSIS: Gender, cats, and mythical roadside attractions are at the center of a tumultuous road [...]  Jimme Jamma brings down the haus with homeSICK, Saturday. Photo by Peter Sorfa. Thursday A-Wol Dance Collective presents Art in the Dark – Fit, beautiful amazing women dancing and flying through the air. And I hear that background looks like a giant fabric vagina. Whip Cream Olympics at Red Cap – Yet another Red Cap party that some will be titillate some and disgust others, this is a week long championship of [...]  Film still for 'Field Guide to November Days' In Portland the queer community and the bike community are inextricably linked. Arts, culture, and film overlap with both. So the latest project from Sampo films, run by Nick Peterson and openly queer partner Mary DeFreese is quintessentially west coast LGBT. Championed by prominent gay filmmaker Gus Van Sant, the duo’s first several films were shorts that, at 20 to 40 minutes, were [...]  Topp Twins characters Ken & Ken Why does it take really cool things forever to be on US radars? We’ve certainly been missing the boat by not recognizing the amazing comedic and musical genius of lesbian New Zealanders the Topp Twins. Hopefully the release of their new documentary, Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls, screening this Sunday at 7pm as part of QDoc, will remedy that. Because this is my favorite film [...]  William S Burroughs William S. Burroughs, The Man Within. Directed by Yony Leyser screening Sat June 5th, 6pm People must of thought I was a weird kid. I carried around a torn, stained copy of Naked Lunch in my backpack for months during high school in Utah. It was a difficult book to understand but the reading was made easier because I recognized the science fiction tropes he [...]  Le Tigre live at a filled stadium Originally titled with the much preferred Le Tigre: Who Took the Bomp, the video diary for the last Le Tigre tour is a bit of self-indulgent nostalgic fluff. But it’s good nostalgic fluff. And you should all know how much I adore both of those things. Beginning with a random home rocket kit test flight Le Tigre: On Tour takes an irreverent look at [...]  Film still 8: The Mormon Proposition. Directed by Reed Cowen. Screening 7pm tomorrow as part of QDOC. I consider the passage of Proposition 8 in California to be the biggest setback to the gay marriage movement. Activists, allies, and the hundreds of couples that were newly married were all taken completely by surprise. Everything had seemed to be going our way. The California Supreme Court ruled in favor [...] 
Portand’s QDoc is the only queer documentary film festival in the US (and one of two in the world) held annually at the intimate Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton). That’s pretty special. But not surprising for our hometown. It’s also a great kick-off to Pride season to reflect on our LGBT roots before we start the party. Several qPDXers got the chance to screen some of these films and will [...]  QDoc is happening! June 3rd-6th Everybody knows I’m a huge film fan. The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls In Love gave me my first pseudo-butch role model, while the Celluloid Closet taught me to see film and culture differently. There was no way I would have ever become the fabulous queer you see showboating around nightclubs, street corners and dark alleyways without the profoundly formative films I consumed in my [...]  Besides basking in the sun you might also wanna check out: Tonight Dirty Queer – As if you didn’t have enough spring fever already goin’ on here’s some more words to get you riled up. Bent – Low brow dancin’ in the dark and smoochin’ in the corner. Get it. Saturday Alberta Art Hop – Not necessarily a gay event, the art hop will satisfy your summer desire for local food, entertainment, and shopping. Like

 Movie stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning next to their real life counterparts Joan Jett and Cherie Currie New tough-as-nails chick flick The Runaways tells the story of Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. It’s already playing in theaters [...]  Buck Angel, porn pioneer, seeks local trans guys for a documentary project He’s loved and hated, admired and criticized. Whatever your opinion, Buck Angel, the famous “Man with a Pussy”, and arguably the world’s biggest FTM porn star, is working on a new project and will host a Portland casting call. Buck is no stranger to breaking new ground, and after recently being turned into a statue (link NSFW), [...]  Trans porn star Buck Angel When I first heard about Portland queer porn showings I was elated. Slated to be at the intimate and aptly named Rumpspanker’s what could be better than a horde of horny queers reveling in their sexy voyeurism together? But alas, the night was moved south to Crush (1400 SE Morrison) and refashioned with a hefty $10 entry fee. And while it would be pretty fantastic to [...] 'Precious' So, 2009 wasn’t a huge year for film but we do have a couple Oscar hopefuls. It may not be the shoe-in that we all thought Brokeback Mountain would be, but perhaps a little less drama is ok. 5 – Big Gay Musical It’s big, and gay, and a musical. That alone gets it 5th place. Slow year… 4 – Hannah Free and Patrik Age 1.5 A Swedish gay couple who expect to [...] Phil Busse In March, the Northwest Institute for Social Change is hosting a 10-week long program that will teach LGBTQ teens how to produce short, professional-quality films. They are looking for interested students. Participating teens will attend media literacy and media production seminars, and then take those skills to the streets to produce a professional-quality short film that address stereotypes—whether that is a serious-minded documentary about a local civic leader or [...] Gay TV Guide January is a slow month for Portland gay news as you can tell. Enter the GLAAD Gay TV Guide. Enjoy. Like
