“A Zombie Farce That Wears Its Bedazzled Heart on Its Sleeve” – Variety.
When zombies crash a Brooklyn warehouse party, a fierce crew of gays, lesbians, trans folks, drag queens, club kids, and messy frenemies drop the drama, grab their sequin-encrusted heels, and slay—literally.
Catch this special repeat screening of Queens of the Dead—a dazzling queer apocalyptic zombie survival tale directed by visionary debut filmmaker Tina Romero, the rightful heir to horror legend George A. Romero.
This stunning cult phenomenon expertly marries biting horror with sharp wit, delivering the kind of queer representation we have been longing for and features a stacked iconic cast including Margaret Cho, Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), Dominque Jackson (Pose), Cheyenne Jackson, Jack Haven (I Saw The TV Glow), and Nina West.
Screens with Pitch, Pleez! winning short Flight Risk directed by Mohammad Awad.

DIR: Mohammad Awad
When Muhammad is “randomly selected” for airport interrogation—again—they expect the usual racism. But when accused of joining ISIS and questioned for the Milo in their bag, the pressure mounts, and Muhammad is faced with an impossible choice: come out to strangers before telling their own mother or find another way. Darkly funny and radical, this sharp, satirical Pitch, Pleeze! winning short flips the script on surveillance, identity, and dignity. Muhammad may be a menace—but they’re no terrorist.
