Reel Queer Film Festival

Schedule:

11:00 AM - 2:00 PM: BRUNCH FILM: The Wizard of Oz
Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives. The Wicked Witch of the West is the only thing that could stop them.

2:30 - 4:00 PM: The ABCs of Book Banning
In recent years, more than 2,500 books have been removed from school districts around the US, labeled as banned, restricted, or challenged, and made unavailable to millions of students. By no accident, the themes targeted are the usual scapegoats of the American Right-LGBTQ+ issues, Black History, and women’s empowerment-impeding the power of future generations to develop their own thoughts and opinions on critical social issues. By weaving together a lyrical montage of young readers and authors, THE ABCs OF BOOK BANNING reveals the voices of the impacted parties, and inspires hope for the future through the profound insights of inquisitive youthful minds.

5:00 - 6:00 PM: Closing Night Champagne Toast
Join us for our closing night Champagne toast! This is our chance to network and chat about the what we loved about the festival, to thank all our hardworking volunteers, and to present the awards to this year's best films!
