Bethesda Film Fest offers free screening access to seven documentaries
Films by area filmmakers include GayBash doc "Lipstick and Leather."
Last October, Reel Affirmations included Amy Oden’s documentary
Lipstick and Leather in one of its virtual shorts programs.
A look at the iconic alt-drag party GayBash along with its drag founder Donna Slash and regular performers Jane Saw and Ana Latour, the 20-minute short features poignant, pre-pandemic footage of the queens giving their all on stage for a boisterous crowd at home venue Trade — back when all that was possible and routine. Oden’s film has now returned to the virtual festival realm with its selection in the 9th annual Bethesda Film Fest.
