CABERET DESIRE
Erika Lust, 2011, Spain, 74 minutes. US Premiere
Set against a sumptuous Barcelona backdrop and inspired by the real-life Poetry Brothel, based in New York, CABARET DESIRE weaves together several erotic vignettes, each introduced by a "poetry courtesan" at a bohemian gathering where readings, dance and music create a sensual vibe. A young woman grows tired of sexual labels and throws off having to choose. A poet recounts the unconventional escapades of his mysterious mother. At the brink of thirty, a woman looks at how her life has converged from the fantasies of her youth. The participants of a heated, short-lived tryst nervously anticipate their reunion an entire year later.

AFTER FALL, WINTER
Eric Schaeffer, 2011, USA, 130 minutes. Stars Eric Schaeffer and Lizzie Brocheré. A sexy, poignant and at times darkly funny story about two people desperately seeking love. Michael, a once-successful writer now in the depths of financial ruin, decides to spend some time in Paris to find new inspiration and a break from his situation. To channel his frustrations, he often seeks out sexual domination, a proclivity he discloses to no one. Sophie, a young French hospice nurse, secretly moonlights as an upscale dominatrix, as much for a sense of control as for the extra money it affords. Both desperately want intimacy and ache for a connection that will change their lives… and when they meet, their chemistry is instantaneous. Fear and fiercely-guarded truths, however, will doom their passion as surely as any star-crossed love.

But in a society obsessed with sex, how do you deal with life as an outsider? Combining intimate interviews, vérité footage and animation, with fearless humor and pop culture imagery, David and several others grabble a universal question for an outcome that might surprise.
