Cinema Q: Cthulhu

Next up from Cinema Q is 'Cthulhu', adapted from a story by H.P. Lovecraft. A Seattle history professor, drawn back to his estranged family on the Oregon coast to execute his late mother's estate, is reaquainted with his best friend from childhood, with whom he has a long-awaited tryst. Caught in an accelerating series of events, he discovers aspects of his father's New Age cult which take on a dangerous and apocalyptic significance. 'Cthulhu' will play at the Starz Film Center from September 26 - October 2. I'm definitely gonna check this one out. I'm a Lovecraft fan from way back but don't recall any big gay themes in any of his work. Maybe I was just too young. Time to dust off the old paperbacks and do a little re-reading.

Queer Lives. Queer Voices. Queer Visions. The DFS is proud to present them in all their diversity via one of the only regular showcases for GLBT cinema in Denver. Don't miss limited first-run releases like Jonah Markowitz' Shelter or or encore presentations of genre pioneers such as Gus Van Sant's 'Mala Noche' or Gregg Araki's 'The Living End'. Presented by The Center and Out Front Colorado.
