Flickering Light film series aflame once more

POSTED: Friday, February 12, 2010, 5:48 PM

Filed Under: Movies screening

We were seriously bummed when Sara Zia Ebrahimi told us she would have to cut the Flickering Light film series short due to problems with their venue. Flickering Light programmed foreign, experimental and LGBTQ-themed films that rarely see the light of day outside of the festival setting. All screenings will now take place at the Mt. Airy Art Garage (542 Carpenter Lane). As per usual, screenings start at 7 p.m. (doors at 6:30 p.m.) and cost $5.

It all begins on March 6, with a twoweek tribute to the great German-Turkish filmmaker Faith Akin. If you haven't seen Flickering Light's opening movie Head On, about the marriage of convenience between two Turkish immigrants in Germany (see the trailer after the jump), this is an excellent opportunity to do so.

The schedule is after the jump but check for full listings at citypaper.net/repfilm.

Saturday, March 6: GEGEN DIE WAND (HEAD ON)

Saturday, March 13: KEBAB CONNECTION

Saturday, March 20: WORD IS OUT — Twenty-seven gays and lesbians discuss their lives and set out to shatter stereotypes. Made in 1977.

Saturday, March 27: INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S ANIMATION SHORTS

Saturday, April 3: SECRETS FOR SALE

Saturday, April 10: NYC's MIX FESTIVAL: LGBT EXPERIMENTAL SHORTS

Saturday, April 17: TEMPLE U's DIAMOND FESTIVAL: THE BEST OF LOCAL TEMPLE U SHORTS

Wasn't Head On Vinny Chase's breakout role?
