Boston’s Wicked Queer Documentary Film Festival returns for a 3rd year celebrating the rich & vibrant true stories of our LGBTQ community & takes place from November 15th to 22nd both in person & streaming. It opens with George Michael: Portrait of an Artist at the Museum of Fine Arts on Friday Nov 15th at 7P. The film takes you into the raw open spaces of George’s life where he broke the glass ceiling. This documentary gracefully & compassionately tells his story & gives tribute to this life. I never did meet George Michael but I did party with Wham! bass player Deon Estus during the MTV Music awards back in the 80’s that made me a big fan but more about that another time. Boston’s Wicked Queer Film Festival turns 40 this year founded back in 1984. Now as we head into these challenging times telling our stories, sharing our lives & affirming that existence becomes more relevant than ever as we deal with over 600 anti LGBTQ bills in states across the country, book bans & attacks on our LGBTQ community are on the rise. Recently the Queer Film Institute Board producer of Wicked Queer, WQ Docs, Queers Do Cinema podcast & Queer Film LA stated, “We cannot predict where the next four years will take us, but QFI is committed to carrying forward the legacy of those before us. For over forty years, the film festival has been a space to come together, to learn from one another & to witness stories of Queer resilience from around the world. We will continue to celebrate Queer voices & stories & stand firm against any attempts to divide or harm us.”
