Get Ready For A New Film Celebrating Femme Identity Among Gay Men | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

A new and necessary film will explore the nature of femme identity among gay men, and the way men who have sex with men are expected to adhere to masculine stereotypes.

Matt Skallerud's insight:

Corey Camperchioli is the creator and star of “Femme: The Film,” a fictional story about a gay man navigating New York’s gay community and the challenges of love, friendship and dating in the Big Apple. Camperchioli, who identifies as femme, told The Huffington Post that he sees his film as a direct response to the rigid gender binary he sees reinforced every day by his gay peers.

NewFest, New York’s LGBT film festival which runs Thursday through Oct. 25 at Cinépolis Chelsea Cinemas and other venues, is growing and shedding some of its indie edge.
