From PLGFF Press Release
QDoc, the only queer documentary film festival in the US, begins June 3 and runs through June 6 at the Clinton Street Theater. This is the festival's fourth year of bringing queer documentaries to Portland.

PLGFF recommends the film William S. Burroughs: A Man Within which screens Saturday, June 5 at 6:00 pm. Burroughs, along with the poet Allen Ginsberg, was a dominate voice in American beat literature-one of the most innovative and influential literary periods in American history.

The film features previously unseen footage of Burroughs and interviews with John Waters, Laurie Anderson, Gus Van Sant, David Cronenberg, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and many others. Burroughs was one of the first to cross the dangerous boundaries of queer and drug culture in the 1950s, and write about his experiences. Eventually he was hailed the godfather of the beat generation and influenced artists for generations to come.

You can't resist the mythological danciness of Pegasus Dream! Halfway between Battles and Of Montreal, these two newcomers are making a bountiful way about town with their bouncy meets heavy pop magic.

Having played shows now with Starfucker and other great locals that keep your feet moving, you'd better catch these guys before they fly away into dancey greatness!
