Welcome to the first installment of ‘The Pink Beat’. In this brand new/revamped (formerly known as 'We Are Everywhere') column we will keep you up to date on what is hot, and not so hot, in the world of lesBian news.
First up, something that is incredibly hot; though we know we haven’t been keeping you all up to date as much as we should on the Ana and Teresa storyline from the Spanish soap Amar en Tiempos Revueltos (look for retro recaps real soon!), we are happy to report that, after departing to Santander happily ever after, they made a special appearance in the show’s sixth season and are still happily ever after!
Hop on over to onemorelesbian.com to watch the scene or, if you are completely out of date, re-watch the entire storyline. While Hand Aufs Herz and Jemma may not grace our screens anymore, it doesn’t mean Lucy Scherer (Jenny) and Kasia Borek (Emma) are out of work. Kasia has been scooped up by another soap; Anna und die Liebe (remember Jasmin and Lily?) to play Olivia Kosmar. Kasia has already started filming and her scenes should be airing starting October 21st.
Now let’s hope that those who vowed never to watch Sat1 again after they cancelled Hand Aufs Herz, will continue to not only support Kasia, but HaH script writer-producer Petra Bodenbach joined as well! Meanwhile Lucy will once again grace the stage in the play 'Rebecca’ where she will play the lead “Ich” (“I”).
It is no surprise that Lucy is returning to the stage as she has said it is one of her great loves and even before Hand Aufs Herz got cancelled, there was speculation that Lucy would be going back to the stage.
Lucy will be going back to the same stage where she originated the German version of Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” and with a familiar partner by her side; Thomas Borchert, who played with her in ‘Tanz Der Vampire’ (Dance of the Vampires), will play her husband. To watch some photos of the two (and pretend Thomas is really Kasia), you can go to the official Facebook page.
Festival News
For those of you going to the Dutch Film Festival (Nederlands Film Festival) might be interested in Bumblefuck, USA by Dutch filmmaker Cat Smits.
Distraught by the suicide of her gay friend Matt, Alexa travels from Amsterdam to her dead friend’s small American town, hoping to uncover the reasons that led Matt to take his own life. She arrives with a backpack, her video camera and intentions to make a film about what it must be like to be gay in Bumblefuck, USA. At the end of her hot summer weeks in Bumblefuck, she’s made a new special friend, clashed with others, and ultimately discovered more about herself than she could ever have imagined.
While the screenings for September 22 are sold out, there are still tickets available for the 25th. You can go to filmfestival.nl to buy them.
If you are not able to visit the Netherlands, no worries – Bumblefuck, USA will be at Chéries-Chéris LGBT Film Festival in Paris in October and at The Barcelona International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2011 in November.
Be sure to keep an eye on eurOut.org for more information on both festivals.
In web series news… Out With Dad just aired episode 6 of their second season, Working it Out
Unfortunately for us, this is their mid-season finale and last episode of 2011 as they are going on a hiatus.
“Why? As you know, Out With Dad is a labor of love for all of us involved. Yet, it costs us all money and time… and we’ve stretched ourselves very thin with our ambitious second season. – Director Jason Leaver.”
Leaver said there will be a fund-raising campaign and we’ll keep you up to date on that as well to assure that one of our favorite online shows will hopefully have a swift and rocking return.
While Out With Dad is taking a hiatus, Emma Stahl seems to be moving forward.
The upcoming German web series is not only re-casting the lead, but has just added actress Antje Hamer for the role of Catharina Laville, EuForce Attorney.
This was The Pink Beat for today, check back tomorrow for more lesBian news!
