We are proud to present two guest filmmakers in special appearance for our fifteenth anniversary. On September 26th, we open with a screening of the 1970 classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls; director Russ Meyer will be attending the event (this evening prevails, despite censorship by Orlando's favorite happy corporation). On October 5th, independent filmmaker Modi will host a retrospective of her work at Sapphire Supper Club.

In addition to appearances by Russ Meyer and Modi, we will host several themed nights that showcase the variety of 1997 entries. These shows include films centered around the topics of "Love, Sex and the Organist", and "Food Fetish Night". Gay and lesbian films screen for two nights as a part of "Pillow Theater", which boasts audience participation with pajamas and pillows. Early morning Video Sidebars combine the music of DJ Howard with special long-playing visual projections.
