LGBTQ+ Film Night

The LGBTQIA+ Staff Network are back for another cosy night in at Central Library to watch queer films with our friends, and we’re inviting you! We all love a good movie night, but nothing beats watching a film with your pals. So join us on Monday 14 July –  everyone is welcome!

We want you to help us choose what film to watch here, from the following choices:

Unicorns: The story of a queer South Asian nightclub performer living a double life, and a young, single father who works as a mechanic. When they meet, a search for identity is sparked.

Disclosure: An in-depth look at Hollywood’s depiction of transgender people and the impact of those stories on transgender lives and American culture.

Sweetheart: A socially awkward, environmentally conscious teenager named AJ is dragged to a coastal holiday park by her painfully boring family, where she becomes unexpectedly captivated by a chlorine smelling, sun-loving lifeguard named Isla.

Paris is Burning: New York City, 1980. In Harlem’s African American and Latinx drag-ball scene, rival houses compete in fierce contests for trophies. Meanwhile, legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women—including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, and Venus Xtravaganza—reveal the rules and traditions of the scene.

Vote for your favourite film till Sunday 13 July here

We will be bringing popcorn and Pic n’ Mix to keep your snack needs met whilst we all get cosy and enjoy the delights of the big screen!

Free – please drop in (film starts at 5:20pm on the dot)
