ABOUT THE EVENT

aGLIFF, Austin’s LGBTQ+ Film Festival in partnership with AFS Cinema present SEBASTIANE as part of AFS Cinema’s QUEER CINEMA: LOST & FOUND monthly screening series curated by Elizabeth Purchell from the popular podcast Ask Any Buddy. British filmmaker Derek Jarman strips bare the homoeroticism lurking just below the surface of the story of Saint Sebastian in his controversial debut feature. SEBASTIANE is an earthy, arty classic of early British queer cinema.

ABOUT THE FILM

VICTIM | CANADA| 1992 | 1 hr 22 mins

Director: Lynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman

In the 1950s, lesbian pulp novels dared to illuminate forbidden worlds, igniting a bold underground culture filled with secret codes and rituals. FORBIDDEN LOVE brings this bold era to life with personal stories, scripted drama, and timeless hits, celebrating defiance and triumph over repression with wit and warmth.

Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
