Exploring Gender and Sexuality - NYTimes.com Film Society at Lincoln Center Niels Schneider and Kate Moran in "You and the Night," a film directed by Yann Gonzalez. With the Supreme Court overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, and gay marriage being legalized in one state after another, the struggle for sexual equality has taken precedence over the fact of sexuality in the gay, lesbian and transgender liberation movement. But sex, in all its variety, some of it explicit, is the main subject of NewFest, the New York L.G.B.T. Festival. The series, which runs Friday through Sept. 11 at the Walter Reade Theater and the JCC in Manhattan, begins with Stacie Passon's "Concussion," in which a suburban lesbian begins turning tricks for a female clientele after sustaining a head injury. It ends with Chris Mason Johnson's "Test," whose main character, a young male dancer in 1985 San Francisco, anguishes about whether to be tested for H.I.V. Also on the bill: Christina Voros's cheerful documentary "Kink," which examines the inner working of a pornographic movie studio; Travis Mathews's "Interior Leather Bar," which reimagines the 40 minutes of censored material cut from William Friedkin's 1980 movie, "Cruising"; and Yann Gonzalez's "You and the Night," which focuses on an orgy and a mystery couple.
