My film Rebels on Pointe is a touching feature documentary that will play at Bahamas International Film Festival on Dec. 14 and 18 -- which gently explores our shared humanity through themes of dreams, identity, family, love and resilience through the story of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo -- the all male, drag ballet company founded in 1974.
While I am not gay myself, I am a deep supporter of equal rights for all and have many LGBTQ friends who deserve respect, something I work very hard with my husband to encourage loving values with our 12 year-old daughter, including "judge lest thee be judged."
I will attend BIFF to present the film in person, and will participate in Q&A after each of the screenings -- the first on Thursday, Dec. 14 and the second on Sunday, Dec. 17 (exact times/location at link below).
The film is currently playing in theaters across the USA. Here are a few of the latest critical reviews:
"Rebels On Pointe is a delightful documentary... lovingly chronicled by Bobbi Jo Hart." - The Village Voice
"Friendly...especially gratifying." - The Hollywood Reporter
"On days when it seems there isn’t too much to smile about, grab a glass of wine and watch “Rebels on Pointe,” Bobbi Jo Hart's playful documentary." - The New York Times
"Intriguing... a delightful, engaging cultural experience." - The Los Angeles Times
"Genuinely inquisitive and insightfully divulging... Bobbi Jo Hart's waggish, warm-hearted documentary will tickle all audiences." - The Film Journal International
