Angelenos! If you're looking for plans post-brunch and pre-the night's festivities, we've got just the ticket for you. 

USC is hosting The 6th Annual Don Thompson LGBT Film Festival on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The festival showcases the short films of USC students and alumni that are about, of interest to, or made by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex people.

Who knows, you could be seeing the next Ira Sachs or Patrik-Ian Polk before they get all famous!

We were fortunate enough to catch this brilliant film when it screened at Outfest in July and we had to share its new trailer with you, Instincters!

Grab your tissues. Here's the rundown:

"When a teenager with Down syndrome (Isaac Leyva) is abandoned by his mother, a gay couple (Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt) takes him in and becomes the loving family he's never had. But when their unconventional living arrangement is discovered by authorities, the men are forced to fight a biased legal system to save the life of the child they have come to love as their own."

Check out Any Day Now after the jump!

It's being reported that James Franco is taking a Queer Cinema course at NYU -- though he didn't show up on the first day of class. While we wait for Franco to open his mind even further, let's relish in some of the topics the class will tackle:

Week 1: “You Don’t Know Dick: The Courageous Hearts of Transsexual Men” (1997 documentary)

Week 3: “Loads” (12 minute film from 1971)

Week 7: “Bottom Values: Anal Economics in History of Black Neighborhoods” and “When are Dirty Details and Scenes Compelling? Tucked in the Cuts of Interracial Anal Rape,” both readings pulled from Kathryn Stockton’s book, “Beautiful Bottoms, Beautiful Shame.

Who doesn't have a PhD in Bottom Values?
