Few queer artists have achieved the sort of cultural impact as the recipient of our Queer Luminary Award, GUINEVERE TURNER. Apart from writing the screenplay for the iconic horror film, “American Psycho”, Guinevere has starred in some of the most influential and important queer films of the past three decades: “The Watermelon Woman”, “Go Fish”, “Chasing Amy”, “Itty Bitty Titty Committee”, “The Owls”, and “Who’s Afraid of Vagina Woolf?”. She also wrote the screenplays for “The Notorious Bettie Page” and “Breaking the Girls”, amongst others.

Join us as we celebrate Guinevere’s phenomenal achievements as a queer luminary. The presentation will take place directly before the screening of our Sapphic Centerpiece film, HEALED, in which she co-stars. Guinevere will be on-hand to accept her award and will also participate in the Q&A following the film screening.
You must have a pass or ticket to HEALED to attend this event
