We are so excited about #StillBisexual being a part of Frameline this year. They selected a video compilation that features a diverse group of bisexual men for their bi shorts night, "Bi Candy". It's cool that Frameline has a special night of bi programming. That cannot be said of all LGBTI film festivals."
The film opens with an introduction designed to address gay male audiences. We had originally hoped, probably a little too optimistically, that it would be screened alongside gay shorts so gay men would be exposed to the statistics about bi male health that open the segment. It features videos from Greg Ward, David J. Cork and Jordan Blower.
Despite the fact that bisexual people are the majority of the LGBTI population, bi people and their stories are often conspicuously absent from most LGBTI film festivals. For this reason, the inclusion of these stories in a "Bi Night" at a major LGBTI film festival is indeed big news. It's cause for optimism, even celebration.
Bisexual.org is proud to help promote "Bi Candy", Frameline, and the #StillBisexual campaign. Our patron organization, The American Institute of Bisexuality, is a co-sponsor of this event. If you're in the San Francisco area, consider attending a screening. Maybe we'll see you there!
If you can't make it, don't worry. There will be other chances to see the film. Nicole concluded: "Since our acceptance into Frameline, we have been approached by additional film festivals interested in screening 'Why Should I Give a S#*t about Bisexuals? (Men's edition)'. We hope it will reach as many audiences as possible so more people will hear about the #StillBisexual campaign and be encouraged to join our movement".
