Saturday 16th November 2019 SHORTS: (DEEP) INTO YOU
It’s time for our holy sex-ational celebration of tantalising and erotic encounters in short form with tasty platter of BDSM, daddy power and wetness . Bring something cold to drink as you are guaranteed to get overheated
Sunday 17th November UNSETTLED: SEEKING REFUGE IN AMERICA : Although set in America this is a universal tale that could happen anywhere in the world where LGBTQ people go to seek safe refuge …..particularly in the UK.. It’s the very sobering story of 4 asylum seekers who have survived death threats , brutal harassment for their sexuality and/or their gender nonconformity. Whilst so much of the world are hostile to our very existence every reminder, such as this powerful documentary, should serve notice on our community. We need to do more to help our brothers and sisters as one day that could easily be us.
