CLOSING NIGHT SCREENING – Chasing Chasing Amy

12-year-old Sav Rodgers watched the film Chasing Amy, and his life was forever changed. Developing a kinship — and maybe a slight obsession — with it as he grew into his queerness, he decides to fund and direct a documentary that examines its role in LGBTQ+ film culture.

Featuring a post-film Q&A moderated by this year’s Festival Programming Director, Cat Palmer, with the film’s director, Sav Rodgers, cast member, Riley Rodgers, and Senior Director of Entertainment & Transgender Inclusion at GLAAD, Alex Schmider.
