About this Event
Opening Night After Party @ 99 Bottles
Keep the celebration going after the screening! Our friends at 99 Bottles are hosting the official Opening Night After Party. Plus, festivalgoers will receive BOGO cards from our generous sponsor, 99 Bottles. Conversations are expected after this undergorund art film screening during our LGBTQ+ FIFF.
7:30pm @ Burns Court // Opening Night Film: Velvet Vision
Velvet Vision tells the story of photographer and director James Bidgood, whose groundbreaking 1960s beefcake photographs defied convention. Bidgood’s elaborate fantasy scenarios—bathed in lush, surreal color—transcended the genre and reshaped queer visual culture. His iconic 1971 film Pink Narcissus, originally released under the mysterious credit “Anonymous,” remains a landmark of queer cinema and underground art.
Join us as we kick off the Fabulous Independent Film Festival with this dazzling portrait of an artist who blurred fantasy and reality in unforgettable ways.
