Highlights include opening night, where a red carpet reception at AFS Cinema precedes Rent Free, screening for its Southwest premiere; directed by Fernando Andrés, this Austin-set dramedy follows best friends Ben and Jordan trying to survive the rapidly changing city. There’s also aGLIFF’s Queer Black Voices dinner where winners of the Queer Black Voices Fund – æryka jourdaine hollis o’neil, Brandon R. Nicholas, Deshon Leek – will have their films screened.
