Join us for a special holiday edition of Queer Cinema, in collaboration with Queer Rotterdam. The festive season feels complicated in different ways for many queer folks but also reminds us to celebrate how beautifully we create our own circles of care and celebration. We’ll be screening Tangerine, a vibrant and heartfelt film that celebrates resilience, tenderness, and the power of chosen family.

After the screening, stay with us for cozy winter-themed arts & crafts and a cup of hot chocolate. So, however you feel about the holidays, joyful, complicated, or somewhere in between, you’re warmly welcome here.

Tangerine follows two transgender sex workers, Sin-Dee Rella and her best friend Alexandra on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. When Sin-Dee learns that her pimp, Chester, has been unfaithful, she goes on a chaotic quest to find him and his new lover, dragging Alexandra with her. The film is known for its raw, realistic portrayal of its characters, its use of humor, and its unique visual style, having been shot entirely on iPhones
