Mark your calendars for April 11-17 as FilmOut San Diego celebrates ten years of excellence in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender entertainment at Landmark Theatre’s Ken Cinema.
HillQuest will sponsor the 5:15pm closing night films “Long Ago ” (the short) A pretty lesbian with a vacant fashion sense and a broken heart, strives for love in the big city, but struggles to sever ties with the past, literally and figuratively, and “Finn’s Girl” (the main feature): About a smart, sexy, and suspenseful look into the lives of Dr. Finn Jeffries and her 11-year-old daughter, Zelly. Finn’s partner, Zelly’s biological mother, Nancy, recently passed away and Finn has taken on raising Zelly alone while devoting her time to the abortion clinic that Nancy founded. The clinic is threatened daily, her own life is in jeopardy, and at the same time Zelly, a defiant teenager seeking attention, does not make Finn’s life easy. When a pro-life fanatic tries to kill the over-extended doctor, both Finn and Zelly are pushed to the edge of desperation. Beautifully balancing the intrigue of a thriller with insightful domestic drama, Finn’s Girl explores the complexity of two women connecting through the fragile veil of loss.
The mission of FilmOut San Diego is to enlighten, educate and entertain San Diegans through the exhibition of LGBT-themed films. FilmOut San Diego seeks to recognize, promote, celebrate and support the important diverse artistic contributions LGBT filmmakers make to our community.
