Boston's Wicked Queer film festival turns 40 this year, and Abby and I are committed to actually watching some of the films! (We did not manage this last year.)
In-person screenings Apr 5-14, and then most (but not all) of the films/shorts collections are available streaming Apr 15th-22nd (feature films) or 15th-30th (shorts programs) -- though annoyingly, most of them require that you be in Massachusetts to stream them :/
How many will I manage to actually write up? Who can say.
Edit: Okay, I'm starting to buy tickets, and I'm only going to 6 programs live (4 feature films, and 2 shorts programs):
Though that doesn't count the stuff I plan to stream 😂 [Edit2: Okay, I think that's gonna be 7 features and maybe 4 short programs? Though there are another 4 shorts programs that I'm less interested in but might watch with Abby. And all of the shorts programs we stream we're likely to skip some of the shorts.]
