Queer Cinema Club #8 - With Belle Dommage

Join us for an exciting evening at our Queer Cinema Club! Film Screening & Drag performance + Q&A hosted by Belle Dommage The Queen (1968) Dir. Frank Simon The behind the scenes of a national drag queen contest in New York City, including the rehearsals leading up to the contest, the conversations in the dressing room and the jealousies that emerge before and after the competition. THE QUEEN is tacky, vulgar, distasteful, embarrassing, and often quite funny as it peeks behind the scenes of the event. But the film is more than accidental camp humor - it really is a historical artifact. Let’s discover together a selection of films that highlight the diverse and vibrant stories within the LGBTQ+ community. From iconic classics to fresh contemporary gems and thought-provoking documentaries, our lineup curated by Belle Dommage promises to entertain, challenge, and inspire. To ease you in, she will be giving a live performance, and after the screenings, stick around for an engaging conversation where you can share your thoughts and hear different perspectives. Whether you're a film enthusiast or new to queer cinema, this is a welcoming and safe space for everyone to enjoy and celebrate the power of LGBTQ+ storytelling. Come connect with others, enjoy great movies, and be part of a community that values inclusivity and representation. See you there!
