Oslo (Norway) and more, director Andy Bydalek's comic short Skinnyfat returns to San Francisco for a one‐time encore screening! Join us Saturday, Nov. 20, 7pm at the LGBT Center for "Between Sizes: An Evening with Skinnyfat." In addition to the hilarious film about two skinny gay guys who are convinced they're overweight, the program includes
the world premiere of a sexy companion film, a Q&A with the director and stars, and a group discussion on gay body image with comedian Philip Huang, large‐community advocate Dan Taylor, psychologist James Guay, clinical nurse and The Adonis Factor star Derek Brocklehurst, and androgynous performance artist Phatima Rude. This special event will be hosted by drag star Martha T. Lipton (The Failed Actress), and like the film itself, it's sure to be a lively and thought‐provoking affair!
