By Hook or By Crook (ZDA, 2001, 98min, angl. brez podnapisov)
Režija: Harry Dodge, Silas Howard

By Hook or By Crook (Zlepa ali zgrda) je tragikomičen in ganljiv film o prijateljstvu na socialnem in spolnem robu ameriških sanj. Shy (Silas Howard), čedna, pikra in čustveno razrvana buč lezbijka, po očetovi smrti in deložaciji zapusti zakotno ameriško mestece in odštopa v San Francisco, kjer namerava obogateti z roparskimi podvigi. Pot ji prekriža Valentine (Harry Dodge), žlobudrava in čudaška posvojenka, ki v telefonskih imenikih išče svojo biološko mater in živi z »Robertom Plantom«, kot pravi svoji skrbni punci (Stanya Kahn). Valentine, Robert in Shy se z ljubeznijo, medsebojnim zaupanjem, humorjem in »zločinskimi« strategijami preživetja »zlepa in zgrda« upirajo osamljenosti, psihiatriji in revščini.

Nizkoproračunski film, ki so ga queerovske buč lezbijke naredile za svojo skupnost, odlikujejo izjemna karakterizacija likov, izpiljeni dialogi in odlična igra – film je na različnih filmskih festivalih prejel kar osem nagrad. Najpomembnejši je za skupnost, saj je odporen na stereotipe o možatosti in ženstvenosti, poleg tega pa družbenospolno in seksualno identiteto junakinj vpne v širši družbeni kontekst, ki razpira nova vprašanja, o katerih se bomo pogovarjale/i po ogledu filma.

Red Dawns and ŠKUC-Cultural Center Q (Tiffany Club)
present By Hook or By Crook, a film screening and discussion
Wednesday, March 30th 2011 at 8.00 p.m. in Tiffany Club (ACC Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana)

By Hook or By Crook (USA, 2001, 98min)
Directed by Harry Dodge and Silas Howard
By Hook or By Crook is a buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small-town butch with a nagging messiah-complex. Emotionally defeated since the death of her father, Shy (Silas Howard) heads to the big city to sink herself into a "life of crime". She is quickly distracted by Valentine (Harry Dodge), a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birthmother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of "poise under pressure" in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption.
A true tragic-comedy, By Hook or By Crook is hilarious, poignant and brave, bringing grace and humor to its socially insightful subjects. It is also the first of its kind; a movie about butches by butches, it opens a carnival peephole into a world almost never before captured in a narrative film: the lives of real, working class butches (and the ladies who love them). The film also introduces acclaimed writer/performer Stanya Kahn, who brings original dialogue and a powerful performance as Billie.
