AGLIFF Centerpiece Movie at Alamo South
The Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival remains the city’s preeminent gay cultural and social event.
Calvin Williams and John Livingston
Sure, Last Splash reels in thousands of intense partiers from across the U.S. twice a year.
Jake H. Gonzales, Lisa Whitaker, Asif Hassan
Galas for Equality Texas and Human Rights Campaign, as well as other health and political-themed organizations turn out the “A Gays.”
Glenn Doonan, Chris Oakleaf and Kristina Hager
Not to mention arts or sporting events, which, cliche or not, appeal to gay and lesbian sensibilities in droves.
Melanie Tiemann and Collin Acock
Yet AGLIFF ties all these fields together through its incredibly varied film selections. And now it’s snugly camped at Alamo South. From the sound of its board members and staff, the nonprofit festival is thriving, even in tough economic times.
Lori Barrett and Chris Trickey
The Centerpiece Movie? “Antique,” a complicated comedy from Korea about four men and a pastry shop. Only one of the four is gay-identified. Yet the various romantic, commercial, gustatory, criminal and psychological entanglements reflect a healthy inclusion of gay themes. I actually saw it twice, once on an inferior DVD screener, then, gloriously, on the big screen.
It’s one of the best films of the year — of any stripe. Grade: A.
