The story is a dark comedy that involves a high school girl and her new bad boy boyfriend taking down the popular crowd. Tickets are $4 with an SUID and $7 without one at the Schine Box Office.

This is the 17th year the festival has been at SU. It will take place in Shaffer Art Building’s Shemin Auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. Friday with “Sins Invalid” before its kickoff reception at 8 p.m. Cara Levine, a graduate student in counseling and counselor education, said that the films screened will showcase developments within the global queer community. Later on Friday there will be a speaker and a screening of “Kuma Hina.” Saturday and Sunday will also feature two films each and speakers throughout the day. Roller derby players, OMG WTF and Bonny Thunders will also be hosting an informal Q&A and meet-and-greet on Saturday.
