Synopsis: Two young men have gone home together for the night. Bryan and Brian. One with a "y." One with an "i." They've had an intimate encounter of unprotected sex. As the film opens, Bryan wakes from a dream and soon after, so does Brian. But Bryan calls his bedmate "Bill." This starts the first of many rifts as the two embark on an 85 minute verbal odyssey. It's one of those all-night discussions where you tell a perfect stranger things you would never tell your closest friend. They recount stories from college. Reveal inner secrets. Argue and console. It's their attempt to make sense of their lives, the world around them, their attractions to other men, AIDS, and why their socks never match when they come out of the dryer. Together Alone is a small yet important landmark in gay film, presenting one of the most honest, realistic, and intimate conversations between two gay men to appear on screen. With beautiful black-and-white photography by David Denchant, Together Alone is an impressive first feature by P.J. Castellaneta. Winner of the 1991 San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival Audience Award for Best Feature. "..smart, insightful and compassionate..." — Edward Guthmann, The San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis: Filmed by a Nicaraguan crew, Sex and the Sandinistas was made in close collaboration with the lesbian and gay movement in Managua. Without assuming any prior knowledge of Nicaraguan history, the film brings to life the extraordinary and valuable experience of lesbians and gays coming out in the whirlwind of a Latin American revolution.
