Written by Pat Saperstein, Variety released the festival line up for NewFest 2024, which includes Stan Behavior.
An expert can be read here: “On the cusp of a historic election, the LGBTQ+ community is, once again, at a moment where we need to show up for ourselves and each other,” said NewFest Executive Director David Hatkoff. “As the largest queer film festival in the country, NewFest takes the responsibility of providing a safe and joyful space for queer audiences to celebrate queer stories very seriously. In our festival’s 36th year, we are thrilled to share films that inspire empathy, delight, discovery, and connection, and a lineup that honors the incredible diversity and creativity of the LGBTQ+ community. You coming?”
Stan Behavior follows local drag queen Goldie Hon, played by the world-renowned Ginger Minj. After a series of demeaning audience interactions at her weekly gig, Goldie commiserates with peers Cutie Pie (Heidi N Closet) and Belle Bottom (Marta BeatChu), determining that it’s time for them to unionize. Seeking legal counsel to move forward, Goldie meets with a lawyer (Yvonne Zima) discovered via an online legal forum, introduced to her as “Acquittal Queen”. Goldie’s situation turns dicey when Acquittal Queen is revealed to be an unhinged drag fan, and kidnaps Goldie to have her own in-home queen. Goldie’s road to gaining respect as an entertainment professional has just gotten a bit more complicated.
NewFest: The New York City LGBTQ+ Film Festival will be held from October 10 - 20, 2024.
