In Celebration of Wicked Queer's 35 years we are revisiting films that made an impact on our culture and continue to resonate. Angela Robinson's debut feature film (an expansion on her award-winning short film of the same name) stunned the queer festival circuit when it debuted in 2005. Plaid-skirted schoolgirls are groomed by a secret government agency to become the newest members of the elite national-defense group, D.E.B.S. (aka Charlie's Angels with lesbians). Angela Robinson has gone on to be one of the foremost out queer directors working in the industry today (PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN, WQ 2018). Come and check out her first feature film.

Jakob is 17 years old, works at a slaughterhouse and struggles with a crippling anxiety disorder. After a chance encounter with a 26-year-old stranger over a sex-cam chat, his journey to Nevrland begins.

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
