We’re kicking off Pride Month with a film club dedicated to the many wonders of Queer Cinema (or what parts of it can be found on Netflix anyway). Obviously queer films are always welcome in all the other categories as well, but this one is strictly dedicated to queer films. Fiction, documentary, comedy or drama – anything you can find, as long as a non-heterosexual theme or storyline is at its centre.
FILM CLUB RULES:
Have a look around Netflix for any film with an LGBTQI* theme or storyline that grabs your interest. You may nominate one or two titles that you want to watch with the film club. Please don’t suggest a film if you’re not going to be watching it with us.
The nomination deadline is on Tuesday at 8pm. We will then put it to the vote.
Vote remains open until Wednesday 6pm, and then at 8pm we watch whichever film has won.
You will get the option to sign up for the DM live chat while we watch the film, which is highly recommended. A sign-up poll will be posted at the same time as the film poll.
I saw it last year at The BFI Flare festival and loved it. Definitely a brilliant under the radar film. It’s about personal loss and trying to carry on somehow. It’s very warm, funny and bittersweet. That’s my pick.
