As part of our Never Going Underground season Queer Media brings their pop-up cinema event Queer Story Showcase to the People’s History Museum to mark International Women’s Day. Celebrate the stories of queer women with a triumphant selection of seven amazing female led LGBT+ short films. Watch the joy, the sadness, the ups and downs, and the strength in coping with what life throws at you, all wrapped up in a bit of humour with a side order of realness. The event will include a screening of a feature film that will be announced nearer the time. Watch this space for further details!
