from the Wicked Queer festival website:
Feminista, Arts/Emerson Paramount Center, 7 PM: co-presented by Cambridge Women’s Center , Boston Dyke March , Feminist&Queer Happy Hour
Feminista is a feminist road movie. In 2015, Myriam Fougère joined a group of young activists who had formed a caravan to travel across twenty European countries – from Turkey to Portugal, by the way of the Balkans, to Italy, Spain and Portugal. Revealing how this new breed of politicized women inhabit their personal lives, Feminista documents how a dedicated international group of young feminists traveled across miles and territories to unite forces with other women.
My Life with James Dean, Brattle Theatre, 7:30 PM; co-presented by The French Cultural Center
Invited to present his first feature film « My life with James Dean » in Normandy, the young director Géraud Champreux has no idea this film tour is about to change his life. From wild stampedes to woeful screenings, from trawler trips to drunken evenings, Géraud ends up finding inspiration in this unlikely town at the end of the earth.
Pinsky. Alfond Auditorum @ Museum Of Fine Arts, 8 PM; special guest Amanda Lundquist; co-presented by Boston Jewish Film Festival
Sophia Pinsky is doing just fine: she has a job, an apartment, and a girlfriend. That is, until her girlfriend breaks up with her and her grandfather dies on the same day. As her life starts to unravel, Sophia moves back in with her overbearing Russian-Jewish grandmother in the Boston suburbs. When her grandmother reveals that not only is she dating again but she’s in love with the family’s rabbi, Sophia is pitted grandmother in a struggle to define loyalty and love, all while trying to become a “real adult,” once and for all.
M/M, Arts/Emerson Paramount Center, 9:30 PM; co-presented by Boston Underground Film Festival
Wayward Canadian, Matthew, crushed by the isolation of being new to Berlin, turns his sexual desires toward Matthias that spiral into a dark fixation of assumed identity. Soon, this obsessive power struggle between the two, careens toward brutal passion and violence in a bid for dominance.
Queercore: How To Punk A Revolution, Brattle Theatre, 9:30 PM
A documentary on Queercore, the cultural and social movement that began as an offshoot of punk and was distinguished by its discontent with society’s disapproval of the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender communities.Interviewees discuss homophobia, gender, feminism, AIDS, assimilation, sex, and, of course, art.
