At the heart of each of these five films is a scrappy, fierce idea that observes the world around them and says “okay, but what about this” — and then shines a light on a corner of existence that pulses with life and would appreciate the validation. These stories are witnesses and records of living as a subversive act. Resourcefulness, enthusiasm, patient endurance, sharp focus and sincerity are all survival mechanisms as well as attributes which benefit social animals. This quintet of films is not a retrospective, but rather a reinforcement, strengthening all who undertake the experience. Welcome to Queer Qlassics.

Wed, Jul 1 at 7:00pm: Join us before MOONLIGHT for the Queer Qlassics Opening Night Mixer in the upstairs Jackson Education and Engagement Space at 7:00pm (free with your ticket to MOONLIGHT at 8:00pm) | BUY MOONLIGHT TICKETS

For one night only, poet and podcast host Kashif Graham will revive his Typewriter Poetry Pop-Up where ticket holders will be able to request a complimentary custom poem written on-site during the mixer. The poetry pop-up is limited time only, first come first serve. We will also be joined by MashUp!
