Muni to the Marriage, directed by Stuart Gaffney, was a simple meditation about the right to marry--regardless of sexual orientation. This is a topical subject. You may have heard about it in your neck of the woods? The situation in Two Women, a Brother and a Baby, directed by Ali Wong, is a little more complicated. Two women discover that they are lesbian and fall in love. That's the easy part. They then want to become parents with a child who shares their genes... Tina Gharavi, director of Mother/Country, goes to her native Iran in order to seemingly inform her mother about her life choices. But, it seems to me that the short was more about questions that Gharavi would like to have answered by her mother. Gender F*cking was a reflection on gender variance by Maricar Camaya. Director Mark V. Reyes gave us insight into the cruising scene in Manila. Last Full Show clearly depicts the life of young men when they are searching. It is not easy to learn to live with disappointments. Mukul Khurana
