SEASON: PRIDE
CINEMA BEYOND THE BINARY
We’ve been celebrating Pride since May and now, in the lead-up to London Black Pride on August 10th, Queer Cognition turns its focus to Black queer stories from across the diaspora. This spotlight honours the complexity, resilience, and radical creativity at the heart of Black queer life.
This next chapter features a free screening of Pariah, the landmark debut written and directed by the acclaimed Dee Rees, alongside a powerful selection of short films that highlight Black queer voices and reimagine identity beyond binaries.
Programme supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London. Proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Network, funded by the National Lottery www.filmlondon.org.uk/filmhub.
SCREENING:
PARIAH
With a world premier at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and multiple award wins including the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award, Pariah is an intimate coming-of-age drama exploring identity politics, the search for belonging and chosen family.
Dir: Dee Rees
