NewFest Kicks Off Today

Rivers Wash Over Me (directed by John C. Young)--cultures clash as a gay teen from NYC moves in with relatives down South. Possible heartfelt monologues, tragicomic ups-and-downs, and hot Southern accents.

The Baby Formula (directed by Alison Reid)--a mockumentary about lesbian parenthood and experimental pregnancy techniques. Possible slapstick humor, kvetching in-laws, and awkward Lamaze classes.

Pop Star on Ice (directed by David Barba and James Pellerito)--documentary about gay figure skater Johnny Weir. Possible sparkles, Bolero, and asymmetrical sleeves.
