GayIcons   10 #1 Posted November 8, 2010 Hi Sheffield Film Group!  You may be interested to learn about the Gay Icons Project at the University of Sheffield. It's a series of talks, concerts and screenings in November and December, each taking as their subject a figure who could be considered a gay icon. There's events across the realms of music, literature, social impact, history, theatre and more.  We also have a series of film screenings arranged in conjunction with The Showroom Cinema and the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. There's Give Me Your Hand (Donne-moi la main), in which two handsome twins set off on a road trip together, experiencing a number of social and sexual encounters along the way, And Then Came Lola, a raunchy, funny, sexy comedy and a loose homage to hit film Run Lola Run, and Plan B, in which one man's attempt to break up his ex-girlfriend's new relationship takes an unexpected turn as he befriends her new partner.  As well as this, there's a talk on Andy Warhol and Susan Sontag's meeting in his infamous Screen Test films and on the closing night of the project a screening of the fascinating documentary Gay Sex in the '70's, which examines the period after Stonewall and before the AIDS epidemic in which gay life in New York flourished.  Check out our website for times, venue and other events, and if you like submit your own gay icon!
