REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., April 6, 2000

The Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) presents one of the favorites from last year's festival: the gay British TV soap opera Queer as Folk. Produced by Channel Four for British television, the series has broken taboos with its frank sexual openness and nudity. The storyline chronicles the lives and loves of a trio of gay men from Manchester. The series' new season, Queer as Folk 2: Same Men. New Tricks, will screen the following Sunday, April 16 at 4pm.
