Ira Sachs Queer Quotations

Working on the Obama campaign was a life-changer for me. I realized during that campaign that structure is the name of the game, and so, soon after the election, filmmaker Adam Baran and I started Queer/Art/Film, a monthly series at the IFC Film Center in downtown New York that invites queer artists to present the films they love to an audience.

My films might have been queer - because I was - but they were not gay.

Without community events like NewFest, I don't think we'd have a queer cinema in America.
