London Film School, Cinema A
Across the two nights, the programme combines shared screenings with a different curated film block each evening, followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
After the screenings, the evening opens up into a more relaxed space for conversation, with snacks, filmmakers, guests and the wider QUEERHUB community coming together beyond the screen.
Your ticket is for the full evening. Come for the films, stay for the conversations, the people and the chance to discover something new.
As this is a curated event with limited capacity, attendance will bring together a mix of filmmakers, film enthusiasts, students and members of the wider queer community.
After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email. A second email will let you know whether you’ve been invited to book your place by purchasing a ticket.
