gays and straights, Jews and Arabs, men and women. It all begins when
Noam, a young Israeli soldier, serves in the reserve forces and meets
at a check point a Palestinian young man called Ashraf. Following an
incident during which Noam misplaces his ID card at the check point,
Ashraf shows up on the doorstep of the apartment that Noam shares with
a gay man and a straight woman. How will the meeting affect all of
their lives? Obviously rom-comically.<br><br><b>Beautiful</b><br><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475381/" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475381/</a><br>Margaret Cho<br>Learning to love her luscious self over the past forty years, comedian
Margaret Cho realized that the eye of the beholder doesn't hold all the
power when it comes to beauty. Our tastes may be groomed by the media,
but how we feel about how we look brings our self-image into focus.
Armed with something more potent than lip gloss - a mouth so shocking
and raunchy it should be stamped with a warning - Cho toured America
with her manifesto: "This show is really about how we should feel
beautiful," says Cho. "When you feel beautiful, you're going to have
more of a willingness to use your voice to speak."<br><br><br></div><b><i>February 28th</i><br>Lilies</b><b> </b>(5pm) <b>// </b><b>Beautiful Boxer</b><b> </b>(7:30pm)<br><div><b><br>Lilies - Les feluettes</b><br>

english w/ english subtitles<br>Directed by John Greyson<br>Set in a Québecprison in 1952. Jean Bilodeau, the local bishop, is brought to the prison to hear the confession of Simon Doucet,
a dying inmate. But Doucet in fact has a very different revelation for
Bilodeau: he has enlisted his fellow inmates to stage a play set in
1912, when Bilodeau and Doucet were childhood friends. Can-Con, Con-Québ and full of men in drag. Yup.<br><br><b><span lang="th">บิวตี้ฟูล บ๊อกเซอร์ (</span>Beautiful Boxer)</b><br><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401248/" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401248/</a><br>
