Six features, two shorts, and a backyard full of Queer noise

BEPI Park — named for the Baylor, Enfield and Parkway Intersection — is Austin's tiniest 'park': an art-adorned traffic median and pedestrian island founded by local resident and lawyer Gary Schumann.

What began as a plain city median became an evolving miniature art installation with rotating themes, tiny fountains, sculptures and a beloved recycled 'traffic troll.' Margaret Barry's short documentary follows the neighbors who keep it strange and joyful, after festival stops including the San Antonio Film Festival.

The irreverent sequel to the cult drag hit Sh*t & Champagne — which played aGLIFF's PRISM 34 — catapults outrageous heroine Champagne White back into action. Filmed entirely in San Francisco with more than 80 Queer and trans performers, it's a slapstick love letter to 1970s exploitation cinema: equal parts glam, grit and guerrilla filmmaking.

When exotic dancer and divorcee Champagne Horowitz Jones Dickerson White is wrongfully convicted of murder, she's shipped off to Lady Prison — a corrupt, for-profit hellhole run by sadistic guards and a warden with a God complex. She stages a daring escape and dives into the shady underworld of luxury perfume, where arch-nemesis Pixie Pardonne Moi is plotting world domination one scent at a time.

Armed with razor-sharp wit, endless disguises and roundhouse kicks in stilettos, Champagne battles crooked cops, evil moguls and her own haunted past. It's a tale of revenge, redemption and rhinestones — where chosen family triumphs and drag saves the day.

Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning short documentary of the same name (Netflix, 2023), The Dads follows fathers of trans and nonbinary children forced to choose between country and family amid a shifting political landscape.

Filmed over the course of a year — from quiet retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota to protests, family milestones, a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision and the collapse of gender-affirming care — the film captures a moment of national reckoning with striking intimacy.

Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Luchina Fisher and executive produced by Dwyane Wade, it is a portrait of fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance — shifting the narrative away from what divides us toward what brings us together: love, connection and community.

Billie Jean King is a global icon whose impact on tennis and equality resonates around the world. But the personal turmoil behind this transformational figure has largely remained hidden from view.

Give Me The Ball! reveals the sacrifices King was forced to make behind the scenes even as she fought high-profile battles for the professionalization of her sport and equal treatment for women: escaping an unhappy marriage, hiding her sexual orientation, facing an eating disorder and staring down misogyny at every turn.

Through a trove of rarely seen archival material and powerfully honest interviews, the film cuts deeper than the 'Battle of the Sexes' showdown — a story of selflessness, struggle and triumph about a figure widely admired but never properly understood.

Out Laws travels between Namibia and the UK to follow three LGBTQIA+ activists at the forefront of dismantling the colonial-era laws that still criminalise Queer people today.

In Namibia, Friedel Dausab risks his safety taking on the state in a landmark case that could overturn a sodomy law enforced for more than a century. Awaiting the ruling, he travels to London to join Raven Gill (Barbados) and Rosanna Flamer-Caldera (Sri Lanka) to trace the colonial origins of the laws that criminalise them — and to deliver a landmark speech at the heart of the empire that exported them.

Rich historical storytelling reveals how anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation was engineered through empire, weaponised by religion, and is now revived by new alliances of far-right actors and political opportunists. Yet at its core, Out Laws is a story of resilience: a vibrant scrapbook aesthetic of archival collage and music-driven sequences that centres joy, defiance and Queer futurity.

Assembly follows internationally acclaimed artist Rashaad Newsome as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet — a multimedia takeover that converts a historic military facility into a Black Queer utopia.

Through stunning visuals and deeply personal performances, the film captures the transformative power of creativity as a fractured community comes together to find strength, solidarity and liberation.

A coming-of-age story about navigating unspoken romantic tension, choosing authenticity and honoring genuine connection, from filmmaker John La Costa and PupBear Productions.

Cast lead Aven Campau plays Dean/Aiden, with costume design by Michael Kouskolekas.

In this intimate exploration of his legacy, WICKET reveals how falling in love — with an artistic pursuit, with a person, or with yourself — can change the course of a life forever.

A story of resilience, identity and the transformative power of dance, from a Hip Hop pioneer dedicated to preserving the culture through education, storytelling and building spaces where people feel seen and celebrated.
