This year, the world's largest and oldest LGBT film festival is in transition. Outgoing Artistic Director Michael Lumpkin receives the 2008 Frameline Award, and he has programmed a survey of personal favorites — such as Law of Desire (1987), Bound (1996), and Karmen Geï (2001) — from his 28 years of guiding the festival. New standouts include the Centerpiece presentation of Lucía Puenzo's intersex teen drama, XXY; All of Me, the first LGBT entry from Egypt; Matt Wolf's documentary about the late disco producer Arthur Russell; a sneak peak of Del Shores' TV adaptation of his play Sordid Lives; and gay zombie sex courtesy of consummate shit-starter Bruce LaBruce.
