Spotlighting the best representatives of HIV and AIDS in media and culture, this years POZ Awards 2025 nominees for Best in Film or Television did not disappoint.

Julia Ducournau's Alpha is a body horror film about a 13-year-old girl who obtains a fictional virus while getting a tattoo. The story is guided by the Generation X reality of growing up- and coming of age- in the shadow of the emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic.

In Cashing Out, Matt Nadel chronicles the explosion of a morbid industry that emerged during the worst days of the AIDS crisis: viatical settlements. Companies or private investors would pay people with AIDS a lump sum to become the beneficiaries of their life-insurance policies. Nadel himself reveals that his father had been one of the people who bought in on the concept.

Director Matt Wolf's Pee-Wee as Himself brings us a portrait of the man behind the eccentric character, Paul Reubens, and how many of the mannerisms in Pee-Wee were inspired by his first love, Guy, who Reubens lost to AIDS.

Please Hold, by director and activist Alex Juhasz, chronicles the memory of two close friends, Jim and Juanita, both of whom died and both of whom requested that their final moments be documented.
