Don't miss the Lesbian & Gay Community Center's fun and exciting winter event this Jan. 28-31. Organizers promise the festival will be bigger and better than last year's. "We have such a huge variety of hot gay boy flicks, lesbian movies, and general audience docs and comedies that we may need the additional venue to fit everything in," explains Festival Director Teresa Davis. "We also have movies that, while gay-themed, will definitely appeal to our straight allies." Among some of the anticipated films are "Little Ashes," staring Robert Pattinson of "Twilight" fame. In the film, Pattinson portrays gay/bi-curious, Spanish artist Salvador Dali. "This beautifully-made movie will certainly appeal to straight art enthusiasts while, at the same time, giving gay guys a chance to watch Pattinson in sexual encounters with other guys!" Davis exclaims jokingly. But, don't worry women — the film festival hasn't forgotten you. For lesbian audiences, the romantic comedy "Drool" will give gals the opportunity to 'drool' over Laura Marring who played the irresistible Rita in "Mulholland Drive." The Center's event kicks off with an opening night gala, including a special "Little Ashes" showing with Spanish tapas, sangria and music. A Sunday grand finale will feature one of the newest blockbusters to hit the LGBT festival circuit For more information on the GayCharlotte Film Festival, schedules, tickets and more, visit GayCharlotteFilmFestival.com.:: — compiled by qnotes staff Javier Beltran and Robert Pattinson star in the Spanish-British drama "Little Ashes," showing at the GayCharlotte Film Festival this month.

Everyone of all ages can see and enjoy!" That's how France's La Tribune described the newest stage sensation, "The Aluminum Show." Compared to the likes of "Stomp" and "Blue Man Group," the new production is more than likely to please: Combining special effects with acrobatics, jazz and modern dance with puppetry and dazzling "one man's trash is another man's treasure" aluminum costumes, "Aluminum Show" create a truly unique performance perfect for all ages. Presenters across the country are abuzz with the new production, and our sources tell us they expect to see folks flying in to little old Charlotte just to get a taste. Created in Israel, the production will mark the launch of its first U.S. tour at the Queen City's brand new Knight Theater. The production marks another first, as well—the premiere show in the Duke Energy Broadway Lights Series. Want a sneak peek of the show? Visit blumenthalcenter.org/defaultasp?id=221 for video clips. The show runs Jan. 12-31. For more information and ticketing, visit BlumenthalCenter.org.:: — compiled by qnotes staff qnotes Jan. 9-22.2010
