Queer Film Theory 101

Series Site

Queer Film Theory 101 at Alamo Drafthouse takes an in-depth look at the queerest “straight” films ever produced. We’re outing all of your favorite films! Is TITANIC a genderqueer love story? Yeah! Does POINT BREAK explore latent homosexuality in extreme sports culture? Absolutely. Is JAWS about the violent fear of queer desire? Yes, yes, and we’ll tell you why. To this day, there are so few representations of LGBTQ+ people in film, so we improvise, we read between the lines, we make adjustments to our head cannon, and zero in on all the queer subtext available. Join us every month for a new entry in our screening and lecture series. Hosted and curated by Micheal Foulk.
