Director Jennifer Kroot joins us to share her thoughts on the displacement of counter culture in San Francisco, overcoming religious trauma, and why the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are part of the heart and soul of San Francisco.Leviticus is a queer coming of age horror film that is meant to be seen on the big screen! Director/writer Adrian Chiarella and actor Joe Bird join us to discuss making an original story with bold ideas, an opening scene that pulls you in from the start, and how religion (and beyond) uses fear as a tool to divide.Hunky Jesus is screening on June 26th at the Castro Theater.

Frameline 2026 - At the Place of Ghosts and Black Burns Fast
Jun 1300:31:19Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIt's time to celebrate Frameline's 50th anniversary (June 17th-27th), the longest running and largest LGBTQIA film festival in the world! We are proud to bring you two very different films that celebrate representation from international independent voices.At the Place of Ghosts is a trauma-centric horror film that follows two estranged brothers as they venture into the wilderness to exorcise a demon and confront the ghosts of the past in order to find healing and closure. We are joined by director Bretten Hannam to dive into the difficulties of filming in the middle of a dense forest, the importance of sharing the indigenous language, and the sibling dynamics and family secrets at the core of this film.Black Burns Fast is a sweet and awkward coming-of-age story about a scholarship student at an elite all girls' private school whose world is turned upside down when she forms a crush on the new girl in school. Director Sandulela Asanda shares why she wanted to share a lighthearted queer narrative, telling a story that she wanted to see as a kid, and how writing a letter to her 17-year-old self helped her write the screenplay.At the Place of Ghosts is screening on June 20th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!Black Burns Fast is screening on June 19th at New Parkway and June 26th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!Follow director Bretten Hannam on IGFollow director Sandulela Asanda on IGSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
