LGBTQ Virtual Film Discussion

LGBTQ Virtual Film Discussion Online

Are movies your thing? Looking for a conversation about LGBTQ topics?

Join us for the LGBTQ monthly film discussion series! Each month we will discuss an LGBTQ film through the library's Kanopy collection. It's all about watching films, sharing stories, and having an honest conversation about the tough issues faced by the LGBTQ community.

This month we are watching:

KIKI

KANOPY LINK: https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/12157262

 

25 years after "Paris Is Burning" introduced the art of voguing to the world, Kiki revisits New York City's thriving underground ballroom scene.  It's a larger-than-life world in which LGBTQ youths of color are empowered by staging elaborate dance competitions.  It's also a safe haven for struggling, at-risk teens who find acceptance within the Kiki community.  Going beyond the glamour of the balls highlights the serious challenges facing queer black and Latino youth.

 

This series allows us to explore complex topics. Due to adult content and mature themes, viewer and participant discretion is advised.

The program will be presented online using Webex. Registration is required. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions on how to join the meeting. Don't see the email? Check your spam folder.

The Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance has partnered with Burton Barr Central Library to produce a program featuring a series of award-winning films that showcases the experiences of the LGBTQ community. The series highlights the artistic contributions both nationally and internationally of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender films and filmmakers. Our goal is to create a diverse film series that educates, entertains, and offers the viewer an opportunity to experience the challenges and triumphs firsthand.
