A still from the film
Newfest Closing Night Gala with Bruce LaBruce’s Gerontophilia
Just when you think you’ve see it all, along comes a film to totally blow your mind, flip your equilibrium and open up tracks of thought you never imagined possible. The film I’m talking about is Canadian provocateur Bruce LaBruce‘s Gerontophilia, a love story about a gorgeous young man named Lake (Pier-Gabriel Lajoie) who has a relentless appetite for men of the geriatric persuasion. To satiate his needs, Lake takes a job at a nursing home where he falls hard for one of the residents named Mr Peabody (Walter Borden).
In this revolutionary tale director La Bruce, “…dares us to look beyond fetish to embrace the beauty of all stages of life.” The closing night gala includes the New York Premiere of this film, a pre-screening cocktail party, a Q & A with the director and a private after-party. Come with your guns fully loaded it’s sure to be a banging affair. Watch it here.
$15 screening only/$45 Gala ticket, 5:30PM cocktails, 7:00PM screening, Walter Reade Theatre 165 W. 65th St. NY, NY.
