Travis Mathews gave us a special sneak preview and Q+A of his film I Want Your Love at the Festival in May. The film has since made its world premiere at a sold-out Castro Theatre at San Francisco's Frameline Festival.

Not one to rest upon the success of I Want Your Love, Travis has been keeping busy in a collaboration with none other than James Franco. It's a kinda, sorta, pseudo homage/remake of William Friedkin's Cruising.

Read all about it here.

Here's hoping our dear friend Travis has James in tow during his next visit to Inside Out.

With just a stage, a slide projector and their stories, Mikael and Orlando open up. Both men, well into their 60s, share a common bond — they were men who became women and decided to change "back". What follows is a respectful conversation about the different lives they've led. They question the other's experiences with gender, sexuality and identity, while reflecting on their own.

Swedish with English subtitles

Also screening: short films themed around outsider joy, quirk and comedy.
