Frameline49 Film Festival Opening Night Screening; "Jimpa"

The world’s largest and longest-running LGBTQ+ film festival is returning to San Francisco and Oakland with 11 days of 100+ queer films. Show up for queer and trans stories June 18–28 at #Frameline49 as a reminder that the world is watching.

John Lithgow and Oscar winner Olivia Colman star in Sophie Hyde's funny and heartfelt tale of a queer family reunion, as three generations of an Australian family reconvene in Amsterdam. In a bold and unforgettable performance, Lithgow plays the titular Jimpa, an HIV-positive academic at the end of his tenure in the Netherlands, whose filmmaker daughter (Colman) comes to visit with her non-binary teenage child (Aud Mason-Hyde), just as they’re coming into their sexuality and contemplating a move to Europe.
