Frameline\u2019s 2023 festival lineup includes Pixar\u2019s new film Elemental, the Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott-starring Bottoms, a screening of Chasing Amy and its new reflective doc, Chasing Chasing Amy, and the Billy Porter and Luke Evans-led Our Son.<\/p>\n
The 47th edition of the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival runs June 14-24 and will feature 90 screenings of features and shorts across 11 days before offering a virtual encore between June 24 and July 2. That includes 12 world, 16 North American and nine U.S. premieres, with the opening night film Fairyland, Andrew Durham\u2019s adaptation of Alysia Abbott\u2019s memoir, set to feature an in-person appearance from producer Sofia Coppola.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is nothing like seeing a great film at the cinema \u2014 sharing an experience in the same moment as friends and strangers alike,\u201d James Woolley, executive director of Frameline, said in a statement. \u201cDespite the challenges that have reshaped moviegoing, we are proud to present Northern California\u2019s largest film festival this year. It says so much about the power and resiliency of queer art and community, as well as the urgent need for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other major screenings at this year\u2019s festival include a free all-ages matin\u00e9e for Pixar\u2019s latest film, Elemental, which is set to wide release in U.S. theaters on June 16. Queer high school comedy Bottoms \u2014 which stars The Bear\u2018s Edebiri and Bodies Bodies Bodies\u2018 Sennott \u2014 is also slated to screen at Frameline47, with Shiva Baby\u2018s Emma Seligman directing the film about two girls who start a school fight club.<\/p>\n
There is also the long-awaited YA big-screen adaptation of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Directed by Aitch Alberto, the story follows Aristotle and Dante, two Mexican American teens who explore through their blossoming friendship their struggles with things like their racial identity and sexuality while growing up in late-\u201980s Texas.<\/p>\n
The Porter and Evans-led Our Son, which follows the lives of a gay married couple on the brink of divorce and facing a custody battle over their 8-year-old son, will screen following its Tribeca Film Fest debut. Meanwhile, Theater Camp, which had its debut at this year\u2019s Sundance Film Festival and focuses on a group of camp staff who band together to save their theater camp after its owner ends up in a coma and her \u201ccrypto bro\u201d son takes over, will screen. Amy Sedaris and Ben Platt both star.<\/p>\n
Many of the programming slate\u2019s selections explore the past and present of queer cinema history and collective history of the LGBTQ+, as well as its legacy. That includes an unofficial double feature of Kevin Smith\u2019s long-debated Chasing Amy, starring Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams, along with Sav Rodgers\u2019 personal look at the film\u2019s complicated legacy and impact on his own life, Chasing Chasing Amy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pairing of Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith\u2019s 1997 cult classic, with Sav Rodgers\u2019 directorial debut, Chasing Chasing Amy, is a perfect encapsulation of not only this year\u2019s festival, but of what it means to be a queer filmmaker,\u201d Allegra Madsen, director of programming at Frameline, said in a statement. \u201cHow do filmmakers \u2014 and all of us \u2014 deal with our problematic cultural past when it was both so formative and so damaging? For queer people, there isn\u2019t always a roadmap to follow. We\u2019re charting our own paths, and the Frameline47 films explore this, no matter the genre.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another festival pairing is the Lea DeLaria, Tig Notaro, Kate Pierson, Peppermint and Ming-Na Wen-starrer Glitter & Doom, a musical that traces a budding romance between a young musician and a spirited circus kid to the soundtrack of The Indigo Girls. Fans of the folk-rock duo can also catch the Alexandria Bombach-directed documentary on the musicians, It\u2019s Only Life After All, during the 2023 festival.<\/p>\n
All of this will be screened along with marquee screenings Cora Bora, directed by Hannah Pearl and featuring Hacks actor Megan Stalter, and Jordan Danger\u2019s Pride Kickoff film God Save the Queens, which features drag icon Alaska, who will perform during the film\u2019s after party at Oasis.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrameline47 is meant to be eclectic. In the same way there\u2019s no single queer or trans narrative, there\u2019s no one way LGBTQ+ cinema should look,\u201d Madsen said. \u201cInstead, we have a multitude of stories that we\u2019re so thrilled to share in June.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Frameline festival will feature 47 screenings at the historic Castro Theatre, along with the Roxie, CinemaSF\u2019s Balboa Theater, 4-Star Theater, Vogue Theater and The New Parkway Theater in Oakland. The festival\u2019s return to the East Bay will see the first-ever Oakland Opening Night and Centerpiece films, along with a Centerpiece after party at Fluid510.<\/p>\n
