Gay Theme Movie Sweeps Indonesia Festival Awards
Sat Dec 11,11:27 PM ET JAKARTA (Reuters) - A gay-theme movie took best film honors and most of the acting awards at the Indonesian Film Festival, the first in the world's largest Muslim nation for 12 years, the Jakarta Post reported on Sunday. The actors who played the gay couple won for best actor and best supporting actor in the movie "Arisan!," a satirical comedy mocking the life of the small super-rich set in the nation's capital and tackling the taboo subject of homosexuality. Scenes that helped win the movie recognition included an aerial shot of oral sex in a public toilet and the gay couple kissing. The festival's revival after a hiatus of more than a decade comes as local film production is picking up after faltering in the early 1990s due to the stranglehold of Hollywood movies in local theaters. Nominations for this year's awards spanned 2000-2004. Just one film was released in 2000 while 31 were made in the past two years, the report said. -- www.gaybombay.info ------------------------ Yahoo!
