QUEER|ART|FILM is a monthly screening series, traditionally held at IFC Center, in which special guest LGBTQ+ artists present and discuss the films that have most inspired them.

 

One of the city’s most adventurous repertory programs. The overall picture that emerges from the series is of a queer cinema that is barely, if at all, concerned with the problems of representation and the burdens of identity politics, and that has never been shy to speak its name.

Fall 2022

 
 

Still from Bloodsisters: Leather, Dykes, and Sadomasochism, 1995, directed by Michelle Handelman

Queer|Art|Film returns this Fall once again to the IFC Center with a season curated by multidisciplinary filmmakers with a season curated by multidisciplinary artists Heather Lynn Johnson and Sarah Zapata.

This season, as we navigate a rollback of our right to bodily autonomy and rising fascist attacks on our community, our curators seek to find solace and solidarity in unexpected places, and offer not an escape but perhaps a re-lensing of the wavering world around us through films hand-picked by an impressive cohort of queer artists. The lineup includes performance icon Cassils alongside downtown darling Ela Troyano; interdisciplinary artist and oral historian Tamara Santibañez; multidisciplinary queer Caribbean artist Christopher Udemezue; and finally the truly legendary photographer and activist Lola Flash. The films promise to tickle all of your horror and sadomasochistic delights, so don’t miss these one-of-a-kind screenings!
