The VITO Project is delighted to present Stranger by the Lake (L’Inconnu du lac) a 2013 French drama-thriller film written and directed by Alain Guiraudie and starring Pierre Deladonchamps and Christophe Paou. The screening will be followed by an open discussion. Guests to be announced at a later date.

Stranger by the Lake is a stunning, confrontationally explicit psychological drama that tests the lengths and limits of sexual desire without inhibition or taboo. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival where Guiraudie won the award for Best Director. The film also won the Queer Palm award.

The project is endorsed by BFI Flare: London LGBT film festival, 56 Dean St, QX Magazine, Gay’s the Word, ACT UP London, Gay Mates, a Change of Scene, the Cara Trust, I-Base, UK-CAB, Positively UK, Gaydio, NAZ Project, Frank Byrne & his walkers and Broad Appeal Podcast.

Doors to the cafe/bar will open at 18.00 for a 19.00 screening. Come early to secure a seat as it can get very busy and we do not take bookings. The doors to the Cinema will be shut once capacity is reached.
