About Wicked Queer: Founded in 1984 by film programmer George Mansour, Wicked Queer is the 4th longest running LGBTQ+ Film Festival in North America. We are proud to be an all-volunteer organization. Our mission is to build community and to celebrate Queer storytelling and filmmaking through the uplifting of voices and stories not yet heard and to present and preserve the vibrancy of our histories. WQ: Docs celebrates the rich and vibrant true stories of the LGBTQ+ community and the ever-evolving art of the documentary.

RoxFilm is co-presenting the following screenings:

• ANY OTHER WAY: THE JACKIE SHANE STORY — Saturday Nov 16 @ 2:30 pm | MFA Boston

  • Directed by Michael Mabbot, Lucah Rosenberg-Lee (Canada 2024, 99 mins). A lost R&B star who eclipsed Etta James and Little Richard, trans soul singer Jackie Shane blazed an extraordinary trail with an unbreakable commitment to her truth. Forty years after vanishing from public view, this 20th century icon finally gets her second act.

• THE LIFE OF SEAN DELEAR — Sunday Nov 17 @ 1:30 pm | Brattle Theater

  • Directed by Markus Zizenbacher (Austria 2024, 82 mins). In The Life of Sean DeLear, friends and peers pieced together DeLear's video archives and writing samples into a fun and enlightening tribute, honoring the counterculture spirit of this American artist — who died of cancer in 2017.
