Forum Cinema Presents: 19th London LGB Film Festival On Tour Please contact NLGBA to arrange meeting and/or transport to cinema and we hope you'll join us for a drink in the bar following the screenings.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Scott Heim in which a teenage hustler
and a young man obsessed with alien abductions cross paths, together discovering
a horrible, liberating truth. (Please note: due to the Pink Picnic there will be no meeting point at NLGBA, please join us at the cinema. Also due to earlier closing times on Sunday we unfortunately won't be able to meet for a drink in the bar afterwards.)
A beautifully composed character-driven drama which tells a tale of friendship and growing love with cracking humour and good old-fashioned sensitivity. 40-something Dora has a cleaning fetish and only has time for her beloved cacti. When Polish refugee Jolanta, believing she has accidentally killed her boss, begs Dora to hide her in her apartment, Dora agrees and soon finds herself falling for Jolanta’s sexy curves and feminine guile.
The NLGBA are proud to present the first short film made by young people
from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual community in Northamptonshire. This film
promises to be as engaging as it is challenging. It is independent, community
filmmaking at its best. With an experimental sound track and creative
image making this digital short is an opportunity to showcase the work
of Northampton’s young creative talent.
Tobi and Achim are best buddies and also cox and oarsman on a rowing team. Summer comes and along with the rest of the team, they set off to the countryside to take part in a national competition. As Achim gets increasingly friendly with his girlfriend, Tobi begins to realise that his feelings run deeper for his friend than even he was aware…
‘All my life, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a rock star’, drawls Jacki (Gina Gershon). Based on the autobiographical musical by LA singer/songwriter and tattoo artist Chen Lovedog, Prey for Rock & Roll tackles the rise and fall of becoming almost famous in Clamdandy, her band of 20 years.
An odd couple are getting hitched. Andrew is an ex-bus driver from Croydon and Jeremy is a literary lion who lives in Chelsea. There is an enduring frankness and refreshing clarity to their accounts of their very different lives. Beneath the surface there are tensions about contrasts in outlook and interests, but ultimately this is a true love story.
