After being reminded that the 28th Annual Reeling Film Festival is coming up by our friends at Think Pink Radio, I decided to take a look at the lineup to see what to look forward to from Chicago's Gay and Lesbo film fest. The FIRST thing I noticed was that Mink Stole, one of the genius stars of all the best John Waters movies, was gonna make an appearance! Then, I saw that not only is Mink making an appearance, she's in one of the films being screened.
The movie is called Stuck! and is an homage to the women in prison B movie genre of the 60's (and beyond) and was made by filmmaker Steve Balderson. As you would imagine, the movie is about a group of women in prison and their "struggles" but it's probably mostly about lesbianism. If that's not intriguing enough, it also features Karen Black (The actress/namesake of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black) and Jane Wiedlin from The Go-Go's, so see it for the weird stars if nothing else. B/Exploitation movies are probably one of my favorite things in world, so I'm excited to see a throwback to the women in prison genre that contained some great ones like Caged Heat and Women in Cages!
Here's the trailer and mark your calendars for the Chicago screening on Friday November 6th! Also--There's a "Lesbian Lockdown/Jail Break" at Circuit (that I WILL NOT be attending) afterwards if you're into that sort of thing.
