SATURDAY

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (dir. William Greaves, US, 1968, 35mm, 75 mins, color)
International House, 3701 Chestnut
Metamovie from the Janus collection. Says the blurb: “Director William Greaves presides over a beleaguered film crew in New York’s Central Park, leaving them to try to figure out what kind of movie they’re making. A couple enacts a break-up scenario over and over, a documentary crew films a crew filming the crew, locals wander casually into the frame. This wildly innovative 60’s counterculture landmark remains one of the most tightly focused and insightful movies ever made about making movies.” 7pm, $7.

Attention all you travel junkies, would-be travelers, and avid readers of the queer perspective. Are you in the mood to take a trip around the world? Funds running low? No need to fret; stroll down to Giovanni’s Room this Wednesday night to experience a whirlwind sabbatical with Raphael Kadushin and Douglas Martin as they read experts from their book Big Trips: More Good Gay Travel Writing.

Join these highly distinguished gay authors as they recount and tell of weekend getaways to Provincetown or backpacking trips through Europe’s oldest and most fascinating cities. Theses stories focus more on the need for adventure and love, rather than frivolous party experiences or a day-long shopping extravaganza.

So sit back and relax, listen, and take in scenery. You might even feel the warm breeze blow off waters of The Cape.
