Queer Spectrum is a monthly series of screenings and events curated by aGLIFF for our community and free or discounted for our aGLIFF members. Through this series, aGLIFF continues to be a platform celebrating LGBTQ+ stories and films year-round.
Unfolding over the course of Valentine’s Day in New Jersey, a young intersex sex worker must run from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways, forcing him to confront his past. Ponyboi bursts off the screen in this bombastic, edgy, and campy roller-coaster ride of a film.
The door is always open … The lives of an ex-sex worker trying to go legit, an aspiring actress, and a model with a weakness for men and drugs become intertwined when they all move into the same Manhattan apartment.

aGLIFF, Austin's LGBTQ+ Film Festival in partnership with Rocket Cinema and Meanwhile Brewing will present a special Pride Month screening of 1995 coming-of-age teen comedy and gay cult classic CLUELESS. Shallow, rich , and socially successful Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Her external demeanor at first seems superficial, but rather it hides her wit, charm, and intelligence which help her to deal with relationships, friends, family, school, and the all-important teenage social life.

Writer & Director: Amy Heckerling
Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd, Elisa Donovan, Wallace Shawn, Twink Caplan, Julie Brown, Justin Walker
