The annual NewFest 'Queering the Canon' series is set to return in 2025 with a spotlight on all-consuming romance. This year's edition, titled 'Queering the Canon: So Obsessed,' features a significant 4K restoration of Lisa Cholodenko's 'High Art,' along with other screenings such as 'Single White Female' and 'Stranger Inside.' The event, taking place from April 3 to 7, aims to explore narratives where curiosities turn into obsessions, highlighting themes of romance, art, and personal indulgence. The festival strives to immerse attendees in the captivating world of legacy queer films.
"High Art centers on aspiring magazine editor Syd (Radha Mitchell) who discovers her upstairs neighbor is Lucy, a renowned yet reclusive photographer (Ally Sheedy). As complex emotions ignite, Syd lures Lucy out of early retirement when they begin an artistic collaboration."
"This year's theme is dedicated to when curiosities become full-blown obsessions, curating mesmerizing tales of the all-consuming power of romance, art, family, and self-indulgence."
