MARCH 19, 2009 - There is both good and bad created from the habit of our nation to break human beings off into little groups with nifty names. The bad? We can marginalize and ignore just about anybody, with, say, the flick of a wrist. The good? We get powerful concentrations of art born out of repression, such as next month's Miami Latin Gay Film Festival, April 17 to 19.
While many of the festival's films are in Spanish with English subtitles, Gomez noticed a standout trailer for a film that is entirely in English. Aquarella, directed by David Oliveras, will be screen on April 17 at 7 p.m., with the director attending.
Aquarella is about a "nerdy young artist who falls for a hunky swimmer". It sounds like the story of Gomez's life, except that the swimmer in our life doesn't flirt with us or splash us back. Our hunky swimmer usually just, you know, swims away. Really fast. Even when Gomez pretends to be drowning.
Just a reminder: You don't have to be gay or Latino to support great gay Latin film. You just have to like movies. See you there.
