Starting this Friday you can check out two more installments in the Louisville Gay & Lesbian Film Series at Village 8 Theaters: "Serbis" and "Antarctica."

“Serbis, “ directed by Brillante Ma. Mendoza, follows the Pineda family in the Filipino city of Angeles. Bigamy, unwanted pregnancy, possible incest and bothersome skin irritations are all part of their daily challenges, but the real "star" of the show is an enormous, dilapidated movie theater that doubles as family business and living space. At one time a prestige establishment, the theater now runs porn double bills and serves as a meeting ground for hustlers of every conceivable persuasion. The film captures the sordid, fetid atmosphere, interweaving various family subplots with the comings and goings of customers, thieves and even a runaway goat while enveloping the viewer in a maelstrom of sound, noise and continuous motion.  Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times, said “Superb, utterly compelling, gritty yet tender,” about “Serbis.”

“Compelling,” according to the New York Times, “Antarctica” certainly proves hearts are melting in Tel Aviv.  In two days, Omer will hit a milestone; his 30th birthday. Like many his age, he hasn't found himself. But then Omer is hardly looking. Instead he chooses to dive in the stacks of books at the local library, where he works. From time to time he goes on blind dates. He meets Danny on one of his dates. 20 years old and full of enthusiasm, Danny dreams of becoming a dancer. Follow Omer and the attractive others in this fun film.
