Sunday has more great entertainment lined up, so let’s get to it – click on the title for ticket info, descriptions from the Wicked Queer festival website:
To A More Perfect Union: U.S. v Windsor, Museum of Fine Arts, 12 PM: co-presented by The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide , The History Project
A feature-length documentary that tells a story of love, marriage and a fight for equality. The film chronicles unlikely heroes — octogenarian Edie Windsor and her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, on their quest for justice: Edie had been forced to pay a huge estate tax bill upon the death of her spouse because the federal government denied federal benefits to same-sex couples – and Edie’s spouse was a woman. Deeply offended by this lack of recognition of her more than forty-year relationship with the love of her life, Edie decided to sue the United States government – and won.
First Timers, Brattle Theater, 2 PM
Shorts series featuring Spark, Virtually Yours, Cupid Prefers A Sniper’s Rifle, Some Girls, Taste Of Love, The Moth, Tristan, and Best Of Luck
The Fabulous Allan Carr, Museum of Fine Arts, 3 PM – co-presented by The History Project , The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide
Armed with a limitless Rolodex and a Benedict Canyon enclave with its own disco, Allan Carr threw the Hollywood parties that defined the 1970s. A producer, manager, and marketing genius, Carr built his bombastic reputation amid a series of successes including the mega hit musical film GREASE and the Broadway sensation LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, until it all came crashing down after he produced the notorious debacle of the 1989 Academy Awards.
White Rabbit, Brattle Theater, 5 PM – co-presented by Boston Dyke March , Boston Asian American Film Festival
Recently single, Korean-born LA artist Sophia Lee devotes herself to her public performance art, whether it’s a provocative Korean perspective in the park on the LA Riots or quirky digital art on social media. To pay the bills, she does odd jobs for TaskRabbit. When a filmmaker reaches out to discuss an acting role in his film, she is excited to explore the opportunity, only to realize he can’t distinguish between her art and her real-life identity.
Queerama, Arts/Emerson Paramount Center, 6:30 PM; co-presented by The History Project , The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide
Created from a treasure trove of archive, Queerama traverses a century of gay experiences, encompassing persecution and prosecution, injustice, love and desire, identity, secrets, forbidden encounters, sexual liberation and pride. The soundtrack weaves the lyrics and music of John Grant, Goldfrapp and Hercules & Love Affair with the images and guides us intimately into the relationships, desires, fears and expressions of gay men and women in the 20th century – a century of incredible change.
Hard Paint, Brattle Theater, 7 PM; co-presented by LatinX Pride , The Theatre Offensive
Pedro earns a living in chat rooms. The image resolution may not be perfect but when Pedro transforms himself into NeonBoy in front of the webcam he still manages to create the desired impression. Slowly, this young man dips his fingers into pots of coloured paint and glides them across his naked body. Glowing in the dark, NeonBoy follows his users’ commands until he agrees to meet one of them in a private chat room for money. But things change when Pedro’s sister Luiza moves out of their shared apartment and he notices that somebody is imitating his performances. He agrees to go on a date with his mysterious rival.
