Directed by Deepa Mehta and starring Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das. Two women, trapped in miserable heterosexual marriages, are pulled together by love and attraction despite enormous outside pressures trying to keep them apart. In Hindi and English with English subtitles. Screening April 28. 'Desire' has a number of different meanings, with a similar root. One can desire another, while one can also desire a goal or feeling. These films all show different iterations of desire and want, from sexual desire to the desire for respect,' notes Doll, on why he selected these films. 'Each film shows characters that want something deeply, and the extent to which they will go to achieve what they want.' Doll plans to extend the reach of Queer Cinema History to a larger audience throughout the year during special events held in Rhode Island, such as PVDfest and Pride. The first screening for 'Movies That Charmed' is 'Personal Best' (1986), which will be on Saturday, April 7, from 7:30 p.m. - 10 p.m. This is Queer Cinema History's first collaboration with Yellow Peril.
