Here’s text from the Frameline program guide about the Bi Request film program at this year’s festival:

BI REQUEST
Saturday June 16 | 6:00 pm | Roxie
$9 members | $10 general | BIRE16R

For our first ever Bi Request shorts program, volunteer guest curator Amy Andre selected films made by bisexual directors and/or about bisexual subjects. Bi Request was inspired by Frameline’s ongoing commitment to promote bisexual visibility and display bi images in film.

From Jan Krager, the director of Unterwegs and The Whiz Kids, comes Hotel Paradijs, a film about the magic and darkness of desire. Though happy with his boyfriend Christian, Paul finds himself seduced by Claire. But is it really Claire, or just the idea of falling in love with a woman, that makes Paul turn away from his lover? Less concerned with the external forces that attract, Krager instead focuses his lens on the unpredictable desires within that can tear a loving couple apart.

In a spoof of the 1950s educational film style, Shady Bi warns of the “dangers” of bisexual women. A bisexual transwoman documents her transition in Whatever Suits You. Single Sexy Bilingual is a short, black comedy about being bilingual, bisexual and bipolar. In Checkout, friends (and ex-lovers) Corey and Max compete for the same woman at the grocery store. In Lauren’s Call, a Cuban immigrant couple fights to make their relationship work in the midst of a sexual identity crisis. A scorned bisexual goes postal in One Useless Prick, and nature-loving bisexuals go camping in Bi Camp.
