Reeling opens this year’s festival with The Big Gay Musical, a super-spirited film that mixes the elements of musical theatre with a story of acceptance, discovery, friendship, lust, and love. ADMISSION: Film Only $12 ($10 members). Film & Gala: $35 ($32 members). Tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com

From award-winning filmmaker Casper Andreas (director of Reeling favorites, Slutty Summer and A Four Letter Word) comes his most innovative film yet, The Big Gay Musical. Pleasing both die-hard show tune queens and serious filmgoers alike, this film turns the concept of creationism on its expertly-coiffed, gay head! Aspiring actors Paul and Eddie are beginning to see their dreams come true as they find themselves the stars of the buzz-worthy off-Broadway musical comedy, "Adam and Steve Just the Way God Made 'Em."

Reeling 2009, the second-oldest LGBT film festival in the world, will run November 5th through the 15th, showcasing innovative gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender films from around the globe. Reeling will take place at Landmark’s Century Centre Cinema (2828 N. Clark St.), Film Row Cinema (Columbia College, 1104 S. Wabash Ave.), Music Box Theatre (3733 N. Southport Ave.), and the Festival’s home base at Chicago Filmmakers (5243 N. Clark St.).

As always, Reeling continues to push boundaries and keep the festival’s programming fresh and culturally rich by presenting work from worldwide perspectives and in genres ranging from light-hearted comedy to introspective experimental. Our mission is to recognize the important artistic and socially relevant contributions LGBT filmmakers have made to our culture and to counteract stereotyping with valid, meaningful, and diverse portrayals of LGBT people.
