The final day of aGLIFF was much like the days before it: moderate crowds, the usual broad mix of films and the continued comforting presence of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann welcoming us to the festival before each screening.
I started the day with the My Queer Movie Competition shorts, a just slightly eclectic collection of 13 films in every conceivable style. Kudos to the aGLIFF programmers for presenting a shorts program with something for every taste, from David Goldstein and Jeff Keith's beautifully romantic Now & Forever to Eliane Lima's dark and striking (if somewhat impenetrable) Leonora to one of my favorites, Austinite Zach Green's hilarious The Green Family Elbow, about a family enduring anti-gay bullying although no one in the family is gay.
Another favorite short is Christopher Peak's Looking, a poignant documentary about men who use Craigslist to meet other men for secret sexual encounters.

Let’s take the multi-platinum rock band from Northern California, Tesla. The group, which currently consists of lead vocalist, Jeff Keith, multi-instrumentalist, Frank Hannon, lead and rhythm guitarist, David Rude, bassist and pianist, Brian Wheat and drummer, Troy Luccketta, have experienced several change ups in the lineup over...
