What is Reel Youth?

Reel Youth, is a bi-monthly screening program for youth age 14-20 that offers free screening in a creative space to where LGBTQ+ youth not only get to tell their stories, but also hang out in a safe space on a Friday night while interacting with peers, expert panelists and guest artists.

Films will screen at the Glitterbox Theater at 6:30 pm for each date. Light refreshments will also be provided, so invite your friends and join us for the fun!

Next Screening: D.E.B.S. on August 23rd

Stay excited! This film stunned the queer festival circuit when it debuted in 2005. Plaid-skirted schoolgirls are groomed by a secret government agency to become the newest members of the elite national-defense group, D.E.B.S. (aka Charlie’s Angels with lesbians).
