This year’s CinemaQ is rife with work that exemplifies the breadth, depth and array of LGBTQ+ stories and their tellers.
Actor-playwright-director Colman Domingo is set to receive CinemaQ’s inaugural Ikon award, Friday, Aug. 12.
As for his career, the multi-hyphenate has already had a doozy of a ride. Well-known — and oft reviled — for his turn as Victor Strand in AMC’s zombie-apocalypse show, “Fear of the Walking Dead,” Domingo also played Ralph Abernathy in “Selma” and trombonist Cutler in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” He was a scene-stealer as X, a pimp in Janicza Bravo’s mad-wild indie “Zola,” based on an even madder, even wilder tweet gone viral.
“And I had to unpack why?” he says, thoughtfully. “And I think because I’ve had so many people wanting me to receive my flowers. People say, ‘Colman, you work hard, you show up, you do the work.’ And I think sometimes many artists or their work is still somehow overlooked by society. I know for sure I’ve been one of those people.“CinemaQ,” featuring films, guests, Q&As and a party or two. Aug. 11-15 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave.
As for this maiden award, “It’s perfect timing,” Garcia adds. “I wanted to lay the groundwork for future icons who have increased what I call the “Three Vs”: the voice, the vision and the visibility. And to me, there’s no one else right now who is riding that forward momentum at a very important point in their career than Colman.”
It’s Charles Busch’s kind of night as the drag legend brings his cult fave “Psycho Beach Party” and his latest, “The Sixth Reel” co-directed and co-written with Carl Andress to CinemaQ. While the Evening with Colman Domingo will be a high point in a festival promising no shortage of them, this year’s CinemaQ is rife with work that exemplifies the breadth, depth and array of LGBTQ+ stories and their tellers.
