REEL QUEER
Sponsored by Moonstruck
And hosted by Paradise
Thursday June 24 will mark the beginning of the Freedom Film Society's ReelQueer Summer 2004, sponsored by Moonstruck. Five nights of the crème-de-la-crème of contemporary gay and lesbian cinema will be served up in Paradise, Asbury Park, as New Jersey's hottest dance club transforms into a cinema-by-the-sea, for select Thursdays throughout the summer.
Sip a cocktail and enjoy five great nights of outrageous comedies, moving dramas, and one particularly timely documentary. Isn't it time for a film Festival that said something to you about your life? Come and see.
