Aero Theater
Filmmaker Nia DaCosta and actor Tessa Thompson
Nia DaCosta re-imagines Ibsen's classic play -- which scandalized the 19th century world with its depiction of a woman's conflict between passion and material stability -- casting bi actress Tessa Thompson, placing it in the 1950s, and making the central love triangle Queer.
Hedda Gabler finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life. Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt—pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.

Filmmakers Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein, and Irwin Rapport, Chair, Board of Directors, The Foundation for the AIDS Monument
On the eve of 1987’s Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, surviving families and friends of people who have died of AIDS prepare panels to be added to a large-scale memorial quilt project. Drawing from the sea of names memorialized, director Robert Epstein focuses on the lives of six people. Alongside the intimate profiles offered, through news footage and interviews, Epstein puts the AIDS crisis in the larger context of social and government response to the disease.

Director Lizzie Borden and actor Adele Bertei
Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power… The movie that rocked the foundations of the early Indie film world, this provocative, thrilling and still-relevant classic is a fantasy of female rebellion set in America ten years after the Second American Revolution. When Adelaide Norris, the black radical founder of the Woman’s Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women (across all lines of race, class and sexual preference) emerges to blow the System apart.
In near-future New York, ten years after the “social-democratic war of liberation,” diverse groups of women organize a feminist uprising as equality remains unfulfilled.

Vidiots Eagle Theater
What movie better deserves the "Not Queer But Queer" label? Historians may debate exactly why Judy Garland was such an icon to the gay community, but for years being a "friend of Dorothy" was code for how closeted queers could find each other. See her in this iconic role.
Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives. The Wicked Witch of the West is the only thing that could stop them.
