Two of the many films to see at the upcoming PRIDE Film Festival from Jan. 29 to 31 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre put whimsical and homosexual twists on both a popular high school play and a French documentary, which explore the present-day lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer culture.

Films like the “High School Musical”-esque “Were the World Mine” by director Thomas Gustafson and the documentary “Gay … So What?” by director Jean Baptiste Erreca will be the two most interesting films to IU students, said Maarten Bout, marketing director for the Buskirk-Chumley.
