“Keep the Lights On” (2012) – Leaving Mar. 23

“Keep the Lights On” is a drama film that tells the story of a turbulent relationship between a Danish filmmaker living in New York and a drug addicted lawyer in the publishing industry. The film was written (along with Mauricio Zacharias) and directed by Ira Sachs, and is semi-autobiographical, centered around his relationship with literary agent Bill Clegg, who wrote a memoir about this time in his life called “Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man.”

The film won the 2012 Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for best feature with LGBT topics.

“Gayby” (2012) – Leaving Mar. 28

Longtime best friends Jenn and Matt are single and in their thirties, and life isn’t going exactly as planned for either. Jenn feels stagnant and wants a baby, but isn’t meeting the right guy. Matt is recovering from a bad breakup while navigating the dating scene for the first time in six years, when he isn’t avoiding his ex. They agree to make good on a childhood promise to have a child together someday, and decide to try it “the old fashioned way.”

The awkwardness isn’t helped when Jenn hooks up with someone else, complicating paternity. “Gayby” got mixed to positive review from critics, with the consensus being that while it doesn’t break new ground, the script’s earnestness plus the game cast make it an enjoyable watch.
