To celebrate FilmPride's short film screenings in the Light Room across 22 - 24 May, we take over the theatre space with a bang!
Please join us for a very exciting launch night party featuring some very special guests, musical entertainment, and free popcorn.
With a screening of the documentary celebrating YLAF - the York Lesbian Arts Festival - featuring many famous faces: '3000 Lesbians Go To York'.
'3000 Lesbians Go To York' tells the extraordinary true story of how a lesbian bookseller (who also happened to be trans) created the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ women in the UK; and how, from 1998 to 2008, the quietly conservative city of York became the unlikely centre of all things lesbian. For one thrilling decade, thousands of women flocked to the York Lesbian Arts Festival each autumn, to meet their favourite authors, buy books, hear top female artists live on stage and dance the night away.
Please note, all our films are captioned.
More details released soon!
