Lesbian friendship and community are at the center of director Rose Troche’s sexy and witty landmark debut, newly restored in 4k, featuring a Q&A with Troche and co-writer and star Guinevere Turner!
Academy Award nominee River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves star in Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant's stunning, sensitive tale of two young sex workers. Mike Waters (Phoenix) is a pensive narcoleptic who dreams of the mother who abandoned him, and Scott Favor (Reeves) is a wayward son of the mayor of Portland—and the object of Mike's complex desire. Navigating a volatile world of clients and thieves, Mike takes Scott on a quest from the grungy streets to the open highways of the Pacific Northwest in search of an elusive place called “home.” Visually dazzling and thematically groundbreaking, My Own Private Idaho is a stirring look at unrequited love, life at society's margins, and a merry band of outsiders.
Queering the Canon: Besties is presented in partnership with NewFest.
