Introduction

Some films resonate deeply with LGBTQIA+ audiences in subtle, surprising or unexpected ways. In this fun event, our special guests will champion some hidden gems, pitching their favourite queer-coded films and making the case for why they belong in the Queer Canon of Cinema. Then the audience will decide which films will be inducted ‘officially’ into the Queer Canon.

Guests

  • Travis Alabanza, award-winning writer, performer and theatre maker
  • Charlie Craggs, Award-winning trans activist, author and actress
  • Juno Dawson, best-selling novelist, screenwriter, podcaster and occasional actress and model
