OUT AT THE MOVIES: JANUARY 14th Cinema City(8.30): “MR RIGHT”
This delightful and heart-warming romantic comedy follows the lives and loves of three gay couples living in London’s swinging Soho, hanging on for dear life through the thrills and chills of their respective relationships.
Alex, a struggling actor, has found love and security with upper-class reality TV producer Harry. Art dealer William, trying to juggle the demands of his precocious nine-year-old daughter, is falling head over heels for soap actor Lawrence. And professional artist Tom clings to his hustler-in-residence, Lars, who barely even bothers to feign fidelity. At the centre of them all is queen bee Louise, worried that her latest boytoy might be a little too comfortable with her gaggle of gay male friends. When the gang comes together at a hilariously disastrous dinner party, pent-up tensions force the couples out of their comfort zones and into deeper waters. To keep their relationships afloat, they have to ditch the drama and find their way back to happiness.
Sophisticated, sexy, snappy, and stylish, MR. RIGHT is a real find. (Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2009)
We’re pleased to announce that the film will be introduced Richard Hilton, talented new stand-up comic from Lowestoft – a hit at the Norwich Pride 2009 Comedy Night.

The show is called 140 CHARACTERS and we are looking for 140 people (“characters”) to tell us their Coming Out Story in 140 characters or less (a “tweet” on Twitter.) We want Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) people to tell us what it was like to Come Out and we’d love friends and families to tell us their side of the story too.
You can tweet us ur tale at: www.twitter.com/OUT140 or text us: 07786351214 or email: shell@shellytelly.co.uk
You can have a look at some of the tales that have already come in at www.twitter.com/OUT140 If you follow @OUT140 on Twitter you will receive the stories as they arrive.
You can make a film about Coming Out at our free Micro-Moviemaking workshops in Norwich and Cromer. Each workshop lasts 140 minutes and are run by Community Filmmaker Shelly Telly and Poet/Artist Vince Laws. Here are the details:
Thurs 10 Dec, 10.40-1pm, The Cube in the Forum

Lesbian Life and love-Cinema City, Norwich 10th December 2009
December 8, 2009
Shell has asked us to post this-“This Month’s OUT AT THE MOVIES at Cinema City ,Norwich is a series of short films called “Here Come the Girls” on Thursday 10th December at 8pm. Here’s some info:
Nine up-and-coming and established female filmmakers bring you a refreshing variety of shorts that look at all aspects of lesbian life and love, from contemporary scenarios of mistaken identity and bedroom hang-ups to period pieces concerning secret rendezvous and forbidden relationships. Sobering issues such as racial stereotypes and domestic violence are also touched upon, as are tales of wistful romance and teenage friendships boiling over into sexual desire.
We’ll have live music in the bar at 8pm from multi-talented Maddie Cassell who was a huge hit at the Pride Comedy Night and Pride Picnic in Chapelfield Gardens.
The films will be introduced at 8.30pm by Linda Bellos – best remembered as an activist and leader of Lambeth council in the 1980s, Linda now lives in Norfolk and is a Director of Diversity Solutions Consultancy Ltd.
It’s going to be a great evening – hope you can make it!

World Aids Day Events, Norwich
November 26, 2009
December the 1st.
We’d like to post extracts from the lastest Norwich Pride Mailout,so you can part of this years World Aids Day events in Norwich.Shell Writes:
“The 28th is the last Saturday of the month so is an official SShh Saturday where the “A Day in Hand Campaign” encourage couples to enjoy some same-sex hand-holding and upload pics to their website http://www.facebook.com/l/b32cb;www.adayinhand.com. This weekend the organisers would also love you to wear red ribbons for WAD. Go on – join the silent revolution….
On Saturday Night, there’s a meeting at the Catherine Wheel at 7.30pm for anyone who’s interested in throwing themselves out of a plane (with a parachute) on Friday 26th February to raise money for The British Heart Foundation, The East Anglian Air Ambulance and Norwich Pride 2010.
Stick around afterwards for the Catherine Wheel WAD Event that includes performances from The Killer Queens, KT Kabaret, Flame (Boyband), Vince Laws (poet) Simon (Singer) Pequila Bigtopp (Cabaret) and Special K (Dance Diva)
Talking of Vince Laws, our lovely local poet is also performing his poetry at a Brighton World Aids Day event, and will display the poem Human written out letter-by-letter on his empty medication bottles.
“I’m making the point that yes there is treatment for HIV, but don’t think that’s an easy option. There are 300 medicine bottles and boxes here, and that represents roughly a year of treatment. On the other hand being HIV+ is no longer the death sentence it once was, and it made me decide to use my time doing exactly what I want to do, so in that sense I see it as a blessing.”
Vince will read the poem and display the work at the WAD Church Service, at St John the Baptist, Timberhill, Norwich on Tuesday 1st December at 7.30pm.
A week later, on Tuesday 8th December, Vince will host a poetry dinner at the Woolpit Swan (just off the A14 near Bury St Edmunds) from 7.30pm. Enjoy a night of thought-provoking poetry, followed by homemade fish pie and lemon tart all for £10 per head. To book, contact the Woolpit Swan on 01359 240482 or at tws@woolpitswan.co.uk. Rooms available at reasonable rates.”
