In his brief, notorious life, David Wojnarowicz shook up the art world with explicit sexuality and raw dissections of toxic American culture. His powerful works earned the wrath of fundamentalist right-wingers in the years before his 1992 death from AIDS. Marion Scemama’s simmering portrait captures the serious, goofy, anguished, outraged, and horny sides of an essential artist and activist giving voice to unapologetic queerness at the end of the 20th century.

Picking up where his 2007 documentary For the Bible Tells Me So left off, director Daniel G. Karslake weaves the moving sagas of four devoutly religious families with gay or trans children. Inculcated for decades with homophobic dogmas and poisonous myths, parents and kids candidly recount their wrenching and transformative journeys of loss and love, judgment and acceptance, and tragedy and triumph.

A deep, affectionate look at the life and work of five remarkable queer artists: the late, legendary filmmaker Barbara Hammer; the inimitable poet, Eileen Myles; Rasheedah Phillips & Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother) of the revelatory multimedia Black Quantum Futurism collective; and wildly innovative performance artist Jibz Cameron (aka Dynasty Handbag).
