Pre-Brokeback Hollywood cranked out dismal fare like William Friedkin's Cruising and the Village People biopic Can't Stop the Music. So the locals who, in April 1981, packed themselves into Chicago Filmmakers' 90-seat screening room on West Hubbard Street to see queer life depicted onscreen must've been thrilled. Three decades later, Reeling: The Chicago Lesbian & Gay International Film Festival, the second-oldest such fest in the U.S., returns with a crop of films that proves maturity—even in the ageist gay community—isn't always a bad thing.
