FRAMELINE 49: SALLY
Known for being the first American woman to fly in space, astronaut and physicist Sally Ride is one of NASA’s most prominent figures. Even though she logged nearly 350 hours in space, little was known about Ride’s personal life — until now. Currently celebrated as the world’s first-known LGBTQ+ astronaut, Ride had a long-term partnership with Billie Jean King’s mentee-turned-science-writer and professor Tam O'Shaughnessy, which they kept private until Ride’s passing in 2012.
For this Sundance Award-winning documentary, diretor Cristina Costantini (Mucho Mucho Amor) uses a seamless blend of archival footage and intimate interviews to paint an honest and affecting portrait of Ride. Preserved in books, our collective pop-cultural memory, and even a Janelle Monáe song, Ride’s legacy looms large. However, by juxtaposing its titular subject’s storied career with her struggles with fame, privacy, and queerness, this film understands that even history’s most enduring heroes are just like us.
FRAMELINE 49: COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT
Poet and activist Andrea Gibson’s work is defined by striking vulnerability. A single line of poetry can hold many — often contrasting — truths. Come See Me in the Good Light, which is directed by Ryan White (The Case Against 8, Frameline38) and produced by comedian and writer Tig Notaro (One Mississippi), echoes this multiplicity with its deeply affecting portrait of Colorado’s Poet Laureate.
After receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, Gibson and their partner, fellow poet Megan Falley, unearth a profound sense of resilience in small, everyday joys. Life’s moments can be both tough and tender, holding grief and humor, and ache and elation, in equal measure. Backed by Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach and executive produced by Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile, this Sundance Festival Favorite Award-winning meditation on mortality illuminates, with exquisite tenderness, what it means to really live.
FRAMELINE 49: DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES
Celebrating the complex interior lives and loves of Black queer people across a spectrum of experiences, Dreams in Nightmares is expertly helmed by sophomore director Shatara Michelle Ford (Test Pattern) and authentically and honestly portrayed by a cast of majority queer and trans Black actors. Lyrical and rich, the film invites us to imagine how we heal best, what is gained by saying yes, and what we lose when we deny our truths.
Struggling after multiple layoffs and haunted by dream messages from the ancestors that aren’t yet clear, Z (Denée Benton) jumps into the prickly, comfortable, deeply-loving bonds of two of her oldest friends for a short New York vacation. When they realize their missing fourth, Kel, hasn’t been heard from in months, the three set off on a spontaneous cross-country road trip/rescue mission, with a trope-defying Black queer bent. As they travel further than they anticipated in search of Kel, the trio confront personal demons and messengers, interpersonal audacity, and their own choices that increase — or sacrifice — their Black, queer, artistic joy.
