2009 Logo Fall Film Festival in New York City

-- The 2009 Logo Fall Film Festival will kick off on Sunday nights this fall with the U.S. premiere of the critically acclaimed and award-winning film, "An Englishman in New York," on Sunday, October 18 at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

This year's festival consists of Logo's selection of fresh, LGBT-themed films that have garnered critical acclaim, audience buzz and notoriety in iconic film festivals including Cannes, Sundance, OutFest and Newfest.

Headlining the 2009 Logo Fall Film Festival, "An Englishman in New York" follows the life of famed writer and performer Quentin Crisp at the peak of his career in the late 1970's. Upon the recent success of Crisp's famous autobiography-turned-film, "The Naked Civil Servant," Quentin (John Hurt) leaves the U.K. to offer lectures and performances in New York City. The film explores Quentin's psyche as he faces the consequences of his casual quip stating that AIDS was "a fad," leading to social rejection and obscurity.

The film demonstrates his personal journey from the 1980's, the decade of AIDS and "celebrity," to the consumerist, "gay dollar" power 1990's. As Quentin comes to terms with aging and discrimination against his femininity within the gay community, his friends Penny Arcade (Cynthia Nixon) and Phillip Steele (Denis O'Hare) encourage him to resurface into the public eye reemerging with fame from Sting's song "An Englishman in New York."

The 2009 Logo Fall Film Festival continues covering all genres with a diverse collection of films never-before-seen on television every Sunday this fall at 10:00 PM ET/PT.
