WE TRY TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR LGBTQ+ INTEREST FILMS? (which we interpret generously!)
For films which are more likely to be screened mainstream, GAY TIMES do a good review. For other/more varied/independent films: QUEERGURU is a goldmine.
Sometimes we discover what gets taken out of mainstream films! e.g. the excluded lesbian storyline, with Frances de la Tour, in ‘Love Actually‘
Then it’s a matter of checking out the local venues from time to time and flagging films up on this website and on our FB Page. Check them out!
During lockdown they may have access to good LGBT films online too eg KINOKULTURE link with Pecadillo Pictures
