Recognising the rights of LGBTIQ+ people, National Coming Out Day brings awareness of LGBTIQ+ experiences across the world.
National Coming Out Day was inspired by a single march. 500,000 people participated in the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 11, 1987, generating momentum to last for 4 months after the march had ended. During this period, over a hundred LGBTIQ+ identifying individuals gathered outside Washington, DC, and decided on creating a national day to celebrate coming out – this began on the 1st anniversary of their historic march.
Cinemas UK-wide will be sharing LGBTIQ+ stories to encourage acceptance, understanding and celebration in audiences.
This guide includes a synopsis, questions to ask before and after watching the film, review writing tips, extension activities and suggestions of what to watch next in your film club.
Black History Month returns with a host of cinemas presenting screenings across the UK. BHM is a chance for cinemas launching or running year-round strands to showcase their offer, and bring standout Black talent to audiences, uncovering under-appreciated works and rediscovering films that have captured and impacted our culture significantly.
Of course, Black history should be interwoven into our education and cultural understanding all year round, not just for one month, but we still need to take opportunities to highlight the experiences of African diaspora people up to the current day. As an opportunity to raise up the stories of those who have been marginalised, Black History Month can be used as a vehicle to start or continue important conversations and continue creating change – in on-screen representation, recognition of cultural impact, and looking to a more inclusive future.
Black history matters. Black Lives Matter. You’ll find further resources here.
