WHAT IS REEL STORIES?

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: Twilight’s Kiss (Suk Suk)

Despite years of societal and personal pressure, Pak and Hoi are proud of the families they have created through hard work and determination – yet something is unleashed in them which had been suppressed for so many years.
