Our name is a nod to ancient Greek mythology and the nine Muses who – as a collective - represented literature, history, science, culture and the arts and were thought to have been created to inspire and uplift in times of hardship.
About Muse: The Cinephiles
This is a cinephiles group for queer women predominantly, but is also open to the wider LGBTQ+ community and their guests. We are committed to celebrating our queer community within a co-created ethos of mutual respect and kindness.
Our aim is to provide a queer cinephiles group that stimulates a mix of thoughtful discussion, playfulness, and curiosity. Our screenings will focus predominantly on celebrating queer women – showcasing both celebrated and hidden queer cinema gems, we aim to foster a playful curiosity and build a vibrant, supportive community.
We respectfully request that men (gay or cis) and straight women attend only as guests of our lesbian and queer women members. We believe that this policy contributes to the overall well-being of our attendees and helps create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and respected. 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. We are committed to celebrating our community within a co-created ethos of mutual respect and kindness.
Please note: PHOTOS AND VIDEOS will be taken at our events. Our photographers will be capturing the vibe at all our events. Some of these will be posted on our social media. Please come and chat to a host if you would prefer not to appear online.
