Frameline celebrates its 37th birthday this year with the annual summer San Francisco film festival (June 20-30) highlighting American and international independent Lgbt cinema. While gay representation in mainstream film still leaves something to be desired, we have festivals like this and La's own OutFest (which kicks off with "C.O.G." July 11) to thank for meeting that need. Frameline begins Thursday with lesbian drama "Concussion," followed by the premiere screening of "White Night." A first round of highlights is below."White Night" (Dir. Hee-il Leesong)South Korean director Hee-il Leesong's "White Night" recalls the frenzied passion of Wong Kar-wai's 1997 doomed gay romance "Happy Together." Like that film, "Night" moves at a lugubrious pace, as sinuous and velvety as its protagonists' incessant cigarette smoke. This hypnotic film is as fleeting as the many encounters Won-gyu has over the course of one noir-tinged night in Seoul. A kind of episodic.
