Reel Q brings back its popular Pittsburgh LGBTQ + Film Festival for its 36th year, showcasing 14 feature films, over 60 short films and four in-person screening events. This year’s lineup will be a hybrid of in-person and online screenings, so you can watch in a crowd or from the comfort of your own home.
This year’s festival runs October 8-16 and its in-person portion will take place at various locations, including the Central Outreach Wellness Center and the Andy Warhol Museum on the North Side, and True T Studios in Bloomfield. The first film in the lineup will be Sexplanation, described as “a fun queer film exploring the failures of sex education in our schools and how we can do better.”
In addition to the screening, the first evening will also include a drag show and food trucks.
Other films include Korean film Oxtail soup, the Iranian short film Nicki, and the canadian film Jump, darling.
Also shows is Workaholic queen, a documentary by local filmmaker Angela Washko. The film, which premiered in February at the Slamdance Film Festival, follows the life of drag queen Ms. Kasha Davis after her stint as a contestant for the popular reality show. RuPaul’s Drag Race. Washko spoke to the Pittsburgh City Paper about the film in February, saying she wanted to use the story of Ms. Kasha Davis (the character of Ed Popil) to examine Drag race‘s about the art form, and Popil “realizing that his worth as an artist shouldn’t be determined by the popularity offered by a reality TV show.”
