THE LOST COAST
directed by Gabriel Fleming
High
school friends reunite for Halloween in San Francisco: Mark, who is now

SEX POSITIVE
directed by Daryl Wein
A documentary look at the life of Richard Berkowitz, a revolutionary gay S&M hustler turned AIDS activist in the 1980s, whose incomparable contribution to the invention of safe sex has never been aptly credited. Berkowitz emerged from the epicenter of the epidemic demanding a solution to the problem long before those both within and outside of the gay community would take heed. However, it was not Berkowitz's voice alone that sparked contention. (SXSW note: Berkowitz is scheduled to attend the premiere.)

BI THE WAY
directed by Brittany Blockman and Josephine Decker
The
iron curtain between gay and straight is crumbling. The Bible belt is
being unbuckled. Recent studies suggest that bisexuality is
drastically more widespread than we ever thought. And for young
people, dating a girl one week and a guy the next is no big deal.
Journeying through the changing sexual landscape of America, the
directors of BI THE WAY investigate the latest scientific reports and
social opinions on bisexuality, while following five members of the
emerging "whatever generation"- teens and twenty-somethings who seem to
be ushering in whole new sexual revolution.
