The tour behind ‘Snipe Hunter’ brought fans together on several levels at Geodis Park.

When Ann Walter called the local sheriff's office, she learned that NASA, indeed, was looking for a piece of equipment that had gone lost.

Nashville Scene
Best Repertory Series Queer Qlassics

Illustration of a person painting a mural that reads “Nashville Scene”

When The People's Joker screened in the Belcourt's Queer Qlassics series, director Vera Drew handed out stickers on the sidewalk — and my partner and I ran into Grammy nominee Aaron Lee Tasjan (whose latest album explores coming out) in the popcorn line. That's just the surface of the community and happy chaos of this July series, which featured a Q&A with Drew, a local queer film history seminar, and screenings of tearjerkers (Brokeback Mountain) and camp oddities (D.E.B.S.) alike. Its focus on "stability in hostile times" is especially important now — and so was its revolutionary sense of joy.
