SUMMARY:Looking Awry: Representing Bisexual* Desires On Screen
DESCRIPTION:In LGBT+ politics and activism bisexual people are often left out of the conversation. To consider bisexual people – our lives\, our desires\, and the difficulties we face – enriches our understanding of sexuality\, foregrounding issues that we otherwise might not consider. This is eye-opening when considering cinematic representations of bisexuality. Taking a ride through cinema’s invocations of bisexuality\, from well-known Hollywood neonoir thrillers to underground queer filmmaking to the extremities of European art cinema\, let’s take a moment to consider representations of bisexual desire on screen. \nPresented by Jacob Engelberg\, programmer of Brighton-based queer film strand\, Eyes Wide Open Cinema. In partnership with Queer Film Network UK & Ireland. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor. Accessible toilets available. BSL interpretation for event. Hearing loop. \nContent note: discussion of sexual assault and suicide. \nTicket prices on a sliding scale according to your circumstances. Choose between FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8 (prices include CCA booking fee) according to what you can afford.

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: The Haunting
