Queer Film Night: Pariah (2011)
It is still an indescribable feeling to be able to spend a week together, when we can talk about our issues without being questioned, without having to explain tediously whether it is important or not - or even an issue.
This is exactly why more and more of us come together every year: new small groups, old organisations, creative communities, members of growing movements. We are fed up, so we build safe, shared and just spaces for ourselves and our communities, demanding change. So let the feminist flag fly high, RESIST THE PATRIARCHY!
Schedule
Queer & Cozy Film Night at CSAK! Feminist Festival!
On this occasion we will screen the 2011 American drama Pariah.
A 17 year old Alike is trying to discover and form her own identity in two different worlds: among her queer friends she is an openly butch lesbian, but her strongly conservative Christian mother can only accept her as a feminine, heterosexual girl. Szerelmek, friendships and family ties are questioned and rewritten in this captivating coming-of-age story that asks a question familiar to LGBTQI+ people: should we suppress our identities for the possibility of wider social acceptance? Or do we risk rejection in order to finally express ourselves freely?
A film won the Best Cinematography Award at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and has been part of the permanent film collection of the US Congress Center since 2022.
The film will be screened in English with Hungarian subtitles.
If you're looking to unwind at the end of the week, have a good chat or just chill out with a couple of relaxing films, come on in for a quiet night of movie watching!
Equipped with soft cushions, blankets and mood lighting, we're waiting for you with the ambience of a classic sleepover. All you have to do is make yourself comfortable!
Feel free to bring anything that will help you relax: nail polish, a book, yarn if you knit or crochet, and of course your friends.
Pets are welcome too!
Popcorn is available at the bar, while stocks last.
The programme is open to everyone.
Admission is free.
