City of Borders

23rd October, 2010

CCA - Sauchiehall street

£2

Powerful documentary revolving around Jerusalem?s only gay bar and its patrons.

We meet the bar's owner, who is the city's first openly gay councilman; a young gay soldier who was stabbed in a Pride parade; a Palestinian man who regularly risks his life to get to Shushan to perform in drag; and an Arab-Jewish lesbian couple who challenge their friends and family with their taboo-breaking relationship.

A warm and thoughtful picture of everyday heroes who brave tradition; religion and conflict in order to be who they are and be with the ones they love.

Be Careful Baby Be Careful

A debate around freedom, civil rights and the power of authorities in our lives

Edie and Thea: A Very Long Engagement

21st October - Free

This moving documentary is the story of the life-long love affair of two New York based lesbians, who after 42 years together are finally getting married.

Meeting in the 1960's, when being out as a lesbian was much more problematic than it is now, Edie and Thea knew that they were meant to be together even if society was not ready for them to be.

The team behind The Brandon Teena Story direct this truly heartfelt and inspiring story of two women in love who would not let society tell them that it was wrong, and who waited a lifetime to say 'I do'.
