The FRAT HOUSE Niteclub / FH (Garden Grove / OC) is proud to present, from CASQUE D’OR FILMS: a special screening of "HOTEL GONDOLIN" — a documentary film by Argentinian director Fernando Lopez Escriva (2005)
The Gondolin Hotel in Buenos Aires is the home of 30 transgenders & transsexuals who work as prostitutes as the unique alternative to survive in a society that excludes them. This slice-of-life film focuses on the importance of freedom of gender identity, the everyday life of the transvestites in the Hotel, street prostitution, and the rising difficulties with the neighbors and the authorities.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Escriva’s wonderful film.
When? Tuesday, 30 January 2007; 8:30 pm — Show de Koquena and the ladies of the Frat House to follow screening and dancing with DJ Hiccups

"HOTEL GONDOLIN" was recently featured in the 2006 edition of Fusion, the film festival featuring LGBT filmmakers of color, a division of OUTFEST: The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. It has also appeared as part of the 21st Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata (Argentina), the 2006 Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and the 2006 Inside Out Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival, among other festivals.
