HOMOEROTIC: Art Auction To Celebrate Upcoming Documentary on Historical and Spiritual Significance of Queer Perspective
San Francisco, CA (April 4, 2008) – On Saturday April 19, the SF GLBT Community Center and Marrvelous Films present HOMOEROTIC, an auction of original homoerotic fine art and photography made exclusively for the funding of "Faerie," a documentary that chronicles the history of contributions imbued by mankind by queer people – and the injustices they face today.
The evening of art, music and cocktails will culminate in a silent auction featuring the work of celebrity photographer Glenn Campbell, top-40 recording artist and photographer Justin Winokur, fine artists Shaun Johnson, Jose Lopes, Marie Saquing, Jodi Carpenter, Kevin Rolly and many more established and up-and-coming sculptors and mixed-media artists. From, shocking to sensitive to downright silly, pieces range from fine art nudes to photographic editorials to Tim Walker’s tongue-in-cheek pop-culture billboard commentary “Sodomy.” Faerie T-shirts will be available for purchase and a raffle of prizes, including art and personal services, will be held.

FILM PROJECT SUMMARY
“Faerie” is a documentary film by San Francisco-based Marrvelous Films that seeks to illuminate the historical leadership and spiritual significance of the queer embodiment. By revisiting the contributions and gifts that have been imbued to mankind by socially eccentric thinkers and leaders such as Da Vinci and Socrates, “Faerie” aims to give meaningful context to the role and service of the these people—and shed light on the present day injustices and obstacles modern-day Faeries endure.
“I want people to understand that "Faerie" is a project about human rights and the spiritual and cultural significance of having a unique presence in life,” says David Marr, producer and director of the film and owner of Marrvelous Films. “I expect the film to be a learning tool and hope it initiates changes in the way society embraces the queer incarnation and function in life.”
