Filmmakers Barbara Hammer\, Su Friedrich\, Rose Troche\, Cheryl Dunye\, Yoruba Richen\, Desiree Akhavan\, Vicky Du\, Jenni Olson\, film critic B.

However\, other readings are possible. Academic writer Alexander Doty saw Dorothy as a lesbian\, torn between her attraction to the femme Glinda and butch Wicked Witch of the West. Meanwhile\, internet user ‘Spoofmaster’ posted a reading of the film online which regards Dorothy as asexual because she chooses gay non-human companions – that’s the Scarecrow\, Tinman\, and Cowardly Lion – whilst in Oz. We invite viewers to focus on the latter idea and think about asexuality and its hiddenness (or not!) in popular culture. \nIntroduced with the reading of extracts from Spoofmaster’s post in The Asexual Visibilty & Education Network’s online forum\, titled ‘The Wizard of Oz: an asexual reading.’ \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598311′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.

Despite chasms in political and religious viewpoints\, the townspeople are universally charming and warm\, even whilst battling over a historic vote on an anti-discrimination ordinance. The Gospel of Eureka takes a personal and often comical look at negotiating differences between religion and belief through performance\, political action\, and partnership.
