Neighborhood Nights

There’s no substitute for catching a great film on the big screen with an enthusiastic audience. This year, we wanted to honor the Bay Area’s independent theatres and the ways they’ve each become uniquely woven into their respective neighborhoods and communities. For Neighborhood Nights, we’ve carefully selected a trio of late-20th century queer cinema classics that tie into some of the recurring themes and strands of the Frameline47 program.  

Chasing Amy

Is Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy — where Ben Affleck falls for out queer Joey Lauren Adams — a straight man’s lesbian fantasy run amok, or does it actually depict the nuances of pan- and bisexuality better than many films made today?

Desert Hearts

Not only one of cinema's great lesbian films but also one of the essential book-to-screen adaptations, Desert Hearts brings Jane Rule's 1964 novel to life against the stunning backdrop of the American desert.

Serial Mom

With our diverse strand of films exploring motherhood, we couldn't help but include one of queer cinema's most unforgettable matriarchs, Beverly Sutphin (a hilarious Kathleen Turner), in one of John Waters' funniest features.
