Reel Stories is a free monthly series dedicated showcasing international queer cinema, with a focus on marginalized perspectives. All screenings are in partnership with City of Asylum. City of Asylum builds a more just community by protecting and celebrating creative freedom of expression. They provide sanctuary to literary writers exiled under threat of persecution, so that they can continue to write and are not silenced.
Every event is free and open to the public

Upcoming Event: Jonathan
Join us on August 31st for a screening of Jonathan. Jonathan is 23; he and his aunt, Martha, work on their farm. Jonathan also devotes himself to looking after his father Burghardt, who has cancer. Burghardt’s long-lost boyhood friend Ron appears on the scene and his health visibly improves. The family sees Ron as an intruder; then Jonathan discovers that, many years ago, his father and Ron were deeply in love.
