OUTFEST LEGACY PROJECT SCREENING
 PORTRAIT
OF JASON
Dir. Shirley Clarke, 1967, USA, 99 min.
Shot in New York’s Chelsea Hotel, Shirley Clarke’s
explosive PORTRAIT OF JASON is a landmark of nonfiction
film – the combination of a visionary director, a
complex and enigmatic subject and a moment of new
cinematic and social possibilities. PORTRAIT OF JASON is
the disturbing and raw record of a confessional
conversation with Jason Holliday, an African- American
gay hustler recounting his life and times. Shirley
Clarke was a key figure in the American avant-garde and
has been an influence on filmmakers and video artists
over the last 40 years.
Introduction: Cheryl Dunye;
Special thanks: Wendy Clarke
The Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation, a
partnership between Outfest and the UCLA Film &
Television Archive, is the only program in the world
devoted to saving and protecting LGBT film and video.

GALA
THE PEOPLE I’VE SLEPT WITH
Dir. Quentin Lee, 2009, USA, 89 min.
Angela (Karin Anna Cheung) is unapologetic about her
love for sex and her many lovers. When she discovers
she’s pregnant, she encounters one small problem— she’s
not quite sure who the father is. In her quest to find
the mystery dad, everybody has advice: her gay best
friend (Wilson Cruz), her conservative sister (Lynn
Chen), and a handsome conquest (Archie Kao). Quentin Lee
(SHOPPING FOR FANGS, DRIFT) directs this romantic and
sexually precocious romp that takes a comic and
delightfully askew look at family, relationships, and
finding happiness.
This Gala doesn’t end when the lights go
up - Fusion kicks in to high-gear when you enter the
courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theatre. Grab a SKYY
cocktail, light hors d’oeuvers, and your favorite dance
partner. There is nothing like the Fusion
after-party!
