Queering the Canon: So Obsessed

Apr 3—Apr 7, 2025
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2025

In-person at BAM and streaming nationwide April 3—7 

NewFest is back at BAM with an entrancing collection of retrospective LGBTQ+ gems sure to captivate, mesmerize, and preoccupy—even after the lights come up! Burrow deep into a curated selection of tantalizing tales that highlight the all-consuming, obsession-inducing power of romance, art, family, and self-indulgence across a variety of settings.

With new restorations, 35mm prints, guest introductions, and in-person Q&As with legacy queer filmmakers, including Cheryl Dunye and Lisa Cholodenko, this bewitching week of queer cinema is primed to be your newest obsession.

Curated and presented in partnership with NewFest, New York’s leading LGBTQ+ film and media organization.
