Sunday, October 17, 9:30pm Underground queer filmmaker Todd Verow (1995’s infamous FRISK) directs and stars in ANONYMOUS, a voyeuristic and graphic look at the modern gay struggle between monogamy and sexuality without constraints. Todd’s five-year relationship with his boyfriend went stale long ago. Away from home he inhabits a nocturnal world of boredom and loneliness at the New York City movie theater where he works. His only escape is a seemingly endless string of anonymous sexual encounters with men he meets on the internet and in public restrooms. When his boyfriend discovers Todd at a men’s room gloryhole, he beats him and kicks Todd out of their apartment. Forced to wander Manhattan’s dark streets, Todd engages in even more anonymous sex and quickly spirals downward into ever more desperate encounters. His quest to fulfill his desires brings him to the brink of raw desperation. Screening with HAIRCUT. Sometimes a hair appointment isn’t what it seems to be… HAIRCUT; Bryan Jackson, director; 2004; USA; 8 minutes;
