The first day of Polari (formerly aGLIFF) happened to coincide with the birthday of the Paramount theater last night.
Opening night found a nearly full house at Stateside Theatre for Alan Brown's award-winning Five Dances. First, however, creative director Curran Nault took the stage to open the fest and along with interim executive director Aaron Yeats and board Vice President Paul Soileau (aka Rebecca Havemayer, aka Christeene), reminisced on the contributions aGLIFF founder Scott Dinger. They announced that henceforth the festival's audience award will be officially known as the Scott Dinger Audience Award.
Five Dances is a sultry, sexy meditation on familiar themes of a rural boy coming to terms with his sexuality after leaving home for the city. Set to a soundtrack rich with cello by Private Romeo composer Nicholas Wright, and interspersed with crooning jazz tunes by Scott Matthew, Gem Club and Perfume Genius, five young attractive...

It's another film festival week in Austin. But if you don't find Fantastic Fest so fantastic, this week offers some interesting special screenings and nine new releases. (Hint: Your life will be incomplete until you see The Master. My man-crush on Philip Seymour Hoffman continues unabated.)
On Monday at the Long Center, the 48 Hour Film Project will screen and award the best films of its 2012 competition in Austin. As the name implies, the shorts were written, cast, scouted, shot, edited and submitted in 48 hours in late August; the impossibly tight schedule made for some interesting and often hilarious exercises in time's-a-wasting filmmaking. The always entertaining Rebecca Havemeyer (aka Paul Soileau) emcees the event.
The Austin Film Society presents The Father of My Children, a French drama about an acclaimed filmmaker whose dedication to his art and lack of financial success strain his relationships with his wife and children. The film...

Austin will be representin’ at the Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards. As if winning the Truer Than Fiction Award at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards weren’t enough, Austin filmmaker Heather Courtney’s Where Soldiers Come From (which was broadcast on PBS’s Pov series) just received an Emmy nomination in the “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story – Long Form” category. The awards ceremony will take place Monday, October 1 at the Lincoln Center in New York City. If you have not seen Where Soldiers Come From, it will be rebroadcast in September. And, don’t worry, I will remind you again. Former Austinite Kyle Henry‘s Fourplay (which boasts an Austin-centric cast and crew including producer Jason Wehling, cinematographer Pj Raval and actor Paul Soileau) premiered at San Franciso’s Frameline36 in June and it just screened last night in Los Angeles at Outfest 2012. I can only assume that Fourplay will be screening at many more...

Director: Kyle Henry Writer: Carlos Trevino Staring: Paul Soileau, Cyndi Williams, Gary Chason Aliya (Paul Soileau), a stunningly styled transvestite prostitute, is hired by Anne (Cyndi Williams) for her dying husband, Tom (Gary Chason). Tom is bedridden and permanently attached to a respirator, he can only communicate via blinking his eyes (one for “no,” two for “yes”) and he only has feeling in his extremities. Lucky for Tom, he can feel his toes! Aliya sure can work wonders with her clients’ toes! Essentially a two-character one-act play, Soileau’s (whom some might know as Christeene or Rebecca Havemeyer) onscreen chemistry with Chason is pitch perfect. Soileau plays Aliya with tenderness and delicacy; occasionally she reveals subtle glimpses of apprehension and fear while navigating her client, obviously not wanting to cause any damage to his fragile being. Directed by Kyle Henry (Room), written by Carlos Trevino and shot by Pj Ravel,...
