Come join us at THE ARZNER Cinema for an afternoon dedicated to sapphic culture ! This time we are screening a brand new documentary by Regan Latimer, "Bulletproof : A Lesbian Guide to Surviving The Plot"
We’ll gather from 3pm for drinks at The Arzner's bar before the screening starts (4.00pm), then stay on for some more fun time together, debating on what we have just watched 🍹🍻
Synopsis:
In 'Bulletproof: A Lesbian's Guide to Surviving the Plot,' filmmaker Regan Latimer takes an insightful, immersive and personal look at queer representation on television and media's power to shape how we see ourselves. Witty, fast-paced and laced with pop culture references, Regan journeys across North America and beyond in her quest to understand the forces that influence the stories we see on our screens. Original animation and personal anecdotes are interwoven with wide ranging conversations with television insiders, LGBTQ+ community advocates and people who just love to watch TV. As Latimer navigates an ever-evolving media landscape, the filmmaker learns first hand that representation done well has the power to transform.
About Arcana:
Finding films that truly reflect lesbian and queer women’s lives remains a challenge. They are difficult to produce, to finance, to distribute, to promote, to find, to screen… one movie that comes to you has gone a very long way.
Stories where we are not marginal, implied, tragic, or killed — but visible, complex, joyful, political, alive. Bringing those images and queer and lesbian representation to the big screen matters.
** Arcana stands loud and strong with our trans brothers and sisters ** Any form of hate, discrimination, or transphobia will not be tolerated at any of our events. If you have any concerns or questions about this requirement, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll do our best to address them.
