Outfest UCLA Legacy Project presents:      
The Andrew J. Kuehn Jr. Foundation preservation premiere of director Jamie Babbit’s short film “Stuck,” along with her feature-length “But I’m a Cheerleader.”

“Stuck” (2001)
Two aging lesbians in a long-term relationship get into a heated argument that leads to an unfortunate traffic accident deep in the California desert. 

“But I’m a Cheerleader” (1999)
Now a venerated LGBTQ+ cult classic, this brilliant satire takes the heinous trend of gay conversion therapy and stretches it to hyperbolic heights. High schooler Megan Bloomfield (Natasha Lyonne) is more interested in listening to Melissa Etheridge than kissing boys, which spurs a panicked parental intervention and a road trip to True Directions. Bucking the film industry’s “dead lesbian” trend, Babbit ushered in a new cutting-edge queer comedy for a generation in real need of a laugh.

In person: Director Jamie Babbit
