**WIN TICKETS TO THE PARTY OF THE YEAR AND SEE SHORTBUS AT THE LONDON FILM FESTIVAL**

Shortbus Lovers and The Works, the UK and Ireland distributors of John Cameron Mitchell's new film SHORTBUS, are offering its MySpace fans the opportunity to win the most coveted invite in town this October - an invite to the most unique party around. One that has rocked Cannes, Toronto and New York - a SHORTBUS premiere screening and After-Show Party. See the YouTube video of the New York party in the 'Films' section for a taster.

We have two tickets to the Gala Premiere of the most talked-about film of the year taking place during the London Film Festival at the Odeon West End, Leicester Square on October 24th followed by a limited guest-list party with the director and cast at a secret central London location.

Send us messages and comments about all things nice and wonderful and Shortbus-related and tell us you want to see 'Shortbus in London' and you'll be thrown into the hat for the chance to win. Add friends, get them to do it too and we'll all party like, well, a champagne bottle popping it's cork!

For Shortbus Lovers in Ireland we also have tickets for the gala screening of Shortbus at the Cork Opera House on October 14th. If you'd like to see the film there, do the same and say you want to see 'Shortbus in Cork,' add friends and get them to do it too and force them to invite you if they win ... a little S&M can come in handy sometimes!

Join the Salon and be a Shortbus Rider before the film is released in December. See you there.

The official theatrical poster for Shortbus has been launched for its US release. It is not confirmed yet whether the same artwork will be used for the UK/Irish release.

Either way, 'release' is certainly the right word to describe it!




Our myspace fansite has also been re-designed in its honour :-)

WHAT THE LONDON FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAMME SAYS ABOUT SHORTBUS:
To an effortless cool soundtrack, a camera swoops and sweeps through a charmingly animated New York cityscape, before introducing us to the in flagrante characters at the heart of John Cameron Mitchell's playful pansexual study of modern relationships. Shortbus is 'a salon for the challenged and gifted', presided over by Mistress Justin Bond. Louche and lively, it's the place where characters come together (pun intended) to join in all manner of erotic acts, or simply to share in the music and campy chat. At the heart of the film is the conundrum of why modern city folk have such difficulty opening up emotionally, even when physical barriers are broken down. There's Sofia, the pre-orgasmic couples counsellor who's faking it with her husband; Severin, the unhappy dominatrix who can't let anyone get close; the Jamies, a long-term gay couple considering opening up their relationship; as well a motley assortment of more minor characters (the former Mayor of New York is a particular favourite). Their dilemmas and encounters are woven together with great warmth and wit, and whilst the film concentrates on the characters' sexuality, it does pack real emotional force. Whatever your take on its polymorphous pleasures, Shortbus (both movie and club) has great lines, great music, a joyful feel, and a rendition of 'The Star Spangled Banner' in a league of its own.
