■Program
●Were the World Mine
Dir.: Tom Gustafson / 2008 / USA / 96min / Language: English (with Japanese subtitles)
Love, real or magical, has never travelled a smooth road
Timothy’s lush musical daydreams are an escape from his miserable high school life. But his fantasies leap to new heights when he’s cast as Puck in the school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and discovers the famous purple pansy love potion. Timothy sees his chance to reshape the world, and make the school rugby jock fall in love with him. Shakespeare becomes a little Shakesqueer when Timothy ensnares everyone around him in musical comedy and errors. With a pop-rock and Broadway soundtrack, and a first-rate cast, Were the World Mine is based on the award-winning short film Faeries by SPEAKproductions.
●Wish Me Away
Dir.: Bobbie Birleffi, Beverly Kopf / 2011 / USA / 93min / Language: English (with Japanese subtitles)
All her life, Chely Wright hid and suffered. Then she bravely shared her story with us.
Feature-length documentary Wish Me Away is a personal and intimate look at Chely Wright, the first country music star to come out as gay. After a lifetime of hiding, she shatters cultural and religious stereotypes within Nashville, her conservative heartland family, and most importantly, herself. Over a three-year period, award-winning filmmakers Bobbie Birleffi and Beverly Kopf followed Chely’s struggle? some of which was recorded on private video diaries? and her unfolding plan to come out publicly. Finally, the film chronicles the aftermath of that decision in Nashville, her hometown and within the LGBT community.
