The 2017 Sundance Film Festival kicks off this weekend — and its offerings are as queer as ever. The festivities, which run January 19-29 in Park City, Utah, feature LGBT films, Q&As, and events like Armie Hammer’s Call Me By Your Name, Jill Soloway’s I Love Dick, and documentaries whose subjects range from civil rights icon Bayard Rustin to transgender YouTube star Gigi Gorgeous. See a preview ahead, and find out more information at Sundance.org.
