Join us at our LGBTQ+ film evening in Burnley. Our free film night is for students and film lovers alike, playing short films about and by the LGBTQ+ community.
There will be two screenings of short films along with a Q&A with some of the featured filmmaker with screening 1 at 6pm followed by the Q&A. After a short break, screening 2 will begin at 8pm. Please note that audience members need to be 18 years or older. This is not due to content, but because the films are unrated.
There will be refreshments before the film screening to celebrate the event at 5:30pm.
Some of the films which will shown include:
- I Would Like to Live on the Moon (2023) by Emily Burke – a short animated film which shines a light on mental health in the LGBTQ+ community.
- I’m Fine (2023) by Weronika Trzpis – a short animated film about mental health in the LGBT community.
- King Henry (2024) by Harry Faint – a short drama supported by the charity It Gets Better UK. It’s about two teenagers elected prom king and king.
- Embrace (2022) by Latesha Merkel – an animated love letter to the asexual community.
- The History of the Carabiner (2023) by Gianna Mazzeo – a tongue-in-cheek, historical documentary and fashion film hybrid. It takes viewers on a journey through queer history to trace the origins of the carabiner as a lesbian symbol.
- Ticker (2023) by Thom Petty – a BFI Network film starring Paul Copley and Ian Gelder as an older couple living in a British moorland farming community, with one half of the couple’s health in jeopardy.
This evening will be delivered by Daniel Waller and Emily Burke (a former student and one of the film-makers).
