Synopsis

"It burst onto British television in February, an explosion of graphic language, male nudity and explicit sex guaranteed to offend as many people as it enthralled. It was called Queer As Folk, and it set out to venture where British television had not gone before, chronicling the lives and loves of a trio of gay men from Manchester who were not role models, victims or martyrs." It exploded like a bombshell on British TV in early 1999, then swept across the Atlantic on a tidal wave of press clippings. It's become a household word in gay America, even though no television network in the U.S. has dared to air it, and perhaps, never will. Screened at last year's SFILGFF and now back for an encore presentation, QUEER AS FOLK stands the true test of cult video: With each viewing, it only gets better. Now, Frameline is proud to present the U.S. premiere of all eight episodes of this gayest soap opera of all time. Don’t miss a single one, but be warned. Once you sample this addictive brew of life, love, death, disco and attitude, you’ll be totally hooked. So catch it here, before it disappears forever.

Synopsis

If anything, this feature-length follow-up to the sensational British TV series is even more audacious than the original. Series creator Russell T. Davies says this chapter brings the saga of Vince and Stuart "to an absolute, definite end, because it was never designed to be a long-running series. It's a bit more plot driven than before…stronger…and it gets quite epic in places…quite angry in places."The anger, Davies says, was fueled by his nonstop encounters with homophobia "every day" since the series first ran. While QUEER AS FOLK inspired critical acclaim in the U.K., it also stirred the inevitable homophobes to crawl out of the woodwork. And so, along with the emotional dilemmas of Vince and Stuart's tangled relationship (will they ever sleep together?) and young Nathan's nascent sexuality (will he ever get over Stuart?), we see all three engaged in fierce battles for dignity at work, at school, and with parents. The result is heady stuff. Just when you think nothing can top Stuart's over-the-top coming-out scene, QAF2 blows out all the stops (literally) and sets the Manchester duo on a chase toward freedom from which there's no turning back.
