CINEMAROSA 6th Anniversary Celebration - Your Participation





Queens' first and only independent film/video series celebrates its Sixth Anniversary with the screening presentation of a selection of films directed by local filmmakers. Among the feature presentations are Astoria, Queens, directed by Kyle Thomas Coker; Countertransference, directed by Madeleine Olnek; Doorman, directed by Etienne Kallos, and the premiere screening of Tell Tale, directed by gay Tibetan filmmaker living in New York, Tenzin Tsetan Choklay. The event also includes the performances of The Ruffian Arms, a gender-bender rock band based in Williamsburg, and Mano A Mano Tango Company, in one of its premiere presentations in NYC.

Celebrating six years of serving the LGBT community with free monthly screenings and events in one of the most diverse boroughs in the city, CINEMAROSA extends an invitation to all NYC Queer audiences for this unique and eclectic event taking place on Sunday, May 16, 2010, 3 – 7 pm at the Queens Museum of Art.

Film Descriptions:
Astoria, Queens -Dir. Kyle Thomas Coker, USA, 2009, 21 min.
Inspired by The Wizard of Oz, four Kansas City twentysomething misfits navigate their new lives in the scary, but exciting Emerald City of New York.

Countertransference -Dir. Madeleine Olnek, USA, 2008, 16 min.
An awkward woman with assertiveness problems seeks the help of a therapist in this LGBT comedy about therapy and its discontents.

Doorman -Dir. Etienne Kallos, USA, 2006, 18 min.
A deeply closeted Latino doorman of a NYC apartment building unravels emotionally when seduced by a privileged college kid living in the building.

Tell Tale -Dir. Tenzin Tsetan Choklay, South Korea / USA, 2008, 15 min.
Two movie tickets, three friends, and many possibilities for new romance and surprising revelations over coffee and cinematic fantasies.

Performances:
The Ruffian Arms -In the basement at the Sweatshop in Williamsburg, five artists gave birth to the Ruffian Arms, a force to be reckoned with.  They combine hard rock melodies with humorous and clever lyrics and package it with an image fully equipped with gender bending costumes that feature high-heeled boots, cheerleader outfits and tiaras.  They have been described as “messy joy” by The Imagist, and their music as a “potentially lethal stew of free-flowing improv, performance art references loosely choreographed dance steps and unleashing a sonic barrage that overflowed with plenty of punk noise and bravado.”    New York Magazine has said that they are a “glam (sextet) led by an Amazonian redhead……participating in band wide cheers and pom-pom fights while their trashy, punky, rockabillyesque sound kept the room bouncing along.”

Mano A Mano Tango Company - A modern dance company influenced by TRADITIONAL TANGO. A fusion of styles and inspiration. They tell their story through their feet and their hearts. Mano A Mano Tango Company was formed in March 2010, when Walter Perez & Liliana Velasquez were introduced to perform at the infamous BLACK PARTY. Their passion for Tango and personal expression created instant magic.
        
Guest filmmakers Kyle Thomas, Madeleine Olnek, and Tenzin Tsetan Choklay will be in attendance to share their experiences with the audience. Screenings are followed by the performances and the anniversary party featuring the traditional rosa cake, pink champagne, and the Latin-rumba-ga-ga sounds of the music of DJ Sonido Marte spinning at the Unisphere Gallery of the museum.

RSVP reccomended: info@cinemarosa.org

The reception is partly sponsored by the Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Committee.

Directions to QMA: #7 Train from 42 Street or E, F, V, R Trains to 74th Street & Roosevelt Avenue, change for #7 Train (Main Street-Flushing Bound). Exit at Willest Point/Citifields Stadium, walk in the direction of the park. Museum is located in front of the metal globe, the Unisphere.


CINEMAROSA IS MADE POSSIBLE, IN PART, BY PUBLIC FUNDS FROM THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS, WITH FUNDS FROM THE DECENTRALIZATION PROGRAM, A REGRANT PROGRAM OF THE NEW YORK STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS, ADMINISTERED BY THE QUEENS COUNCIL ON THE ARTS, AND INDIVIDUAL DONORS.

manoAmano


Mano a mano
Tango 1923
Música: Carlos Gardel José Razzano
Letra: Celedonio Flores
Rechiflado en mi tristeza, te evoco y veo que has sido
en mi pobre vida paria sólo una buena mujer.
Tu presencia de bacana puso calor en mi nido,
fuiste buena, consecuente, y yo sé que me has querido
como no quisiste a nadie, como no podrás querer.

Se dio el juego de remanye cuando vos, pobre percanta,
gambeteabas la pobreza en la casa de pensión.
Hoy sos toda una bacana, la vida te ríe y canta,
Ios morlacos del otario los jugás a la marchanta
como juega el gato maula con el mísero ratón.

Hoy tenés el mate lleno de infelices ilusiones,
te engrupieron los otarios, las amigas y el gavión;
la milonga, entre magnates, con sus locas tentaciones,
donde triunfan y claudican milongueras pretensiones,
se te ha entrado muy adentro en tu pobre corazón.

Nada debo agradecerte, mano a mano hemos quedado;
no me importa lo que has hecho, lo que hacés ni lo que harás...
Los favores recibidos creo habértelos pagado
y, si alguna deuda chica sin querer se me ha olvidado,
en la cuenta del otario que tenés se la cargás.

Mientras tanto, que tus triunfos, pobres triunfos pasajeros,
sean una larga fila de riquezas y placer;
que el bacán que te acamala tenga pesos duraderos,
que te abrás de las paradas con cafishos milongueros
y que digan los muchachos: Es una buena mujer.
Y mañana, cuando seas descolado mueble viejo
y no tengas esperanzas en tu pobre corazón,
si precisás una ayuda, si te hace falta un consejo,
acordate de este amigo que ha de jugarse el pellejo
pa'ayudarte en lo que pueda cuando llegue la ocasión.

My favorite Street Art so far!
