Queer Film Guide Author and NY Times Writer Kyle Turner - Lecture and Film

It’s time to push past the gatekeepers of what makes a movie “great” or “culturally significant” and get a broader view of what’s out there. Kyle Turner has penned "The Queer Film Guide", a selection of 100 of cinema’s greatest queer films that are often overlooked but foundational to the art form and the wider culture. Join us for a special presentation from Kyle himself and a screening of a film from his book, Born in Flames (1983, Not Rated, 1h 20m).
