Outfest 2011 opens with a screening of Gun Hill Road. This feature film by Rashaad Ernesto Green is part tough street film and part sensitive gay character study. Released from a prison stint, a proud Bronx patriarch struggles to pick up the pieces of his life, a process made more difficult by the discovery that his teenage son is undergoing gender reassignment. Afterward, head to the California Market Center to hobnob with industry insiders at the Opening Night Gala.

Description

Opening Night Gala Screening: Gun Hill Road
(USA, 2011, 88 mins)
In English
Directed by: Rashaad Ernesto Green
SCR: Rashaad Ernesto Green

Preceded by the presentation of the 15th Annual Achievement Award to Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato.

Gun Hill Road is a powerful and moving family drama told with authenticity and honesty.

After three years in prison, macho Enrique (Esai Morales) returns home to the Bronx and finds things changed. His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), is distant, and his teenage son, Michael, has come out as Vanessa, a transgender woman. Unable to accept his child for who she is now, Enrique clings to his masculine ideals while Angela attempts to hold the family together by fiercely protecting Vanessa. Still under the watchful eye of his parole officer, Enrique must become the father he needs to be or once again risk losing his family and freedom.

The heart of Gun Hill Road lies in two places: the richly drawn character of Michael/Vanessa (newcomer Harmony Santana is unforgettable) and a father's inability to escape the vicious cycle of his life. Writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green's first feature film is told with gentle humor, sensitivity and a deep understanding of the environment that defines its inhabitants.
