Where We Are NowReShape and the Cinema Museum present the third season of the VITO Project, a series of free monthly screenings bringing generations of LGBTs together to provide an alternative space to mix, watch films and share ideas.

The VITO Project is delighted to present Female Stories, an evening of some of the best, uplifting, insightful, flirtatious and joyous women-centred short fiction and non-fiction films.

Kids, kittens, and the overthrow of social norms – just another day for a typical Ukrainian couple.

Where We Are Now (2016), directed by Lucie Rachel (UK)
A mother-daughter story and an insightful look at a queer child and her transitioning parent and how life can bring us closer together.

Bootwmn (2015), directed by Paige Gratland, Sam McWilliams (Canada/US/UK)
Meet Deana McGuffin, bootmaker. Her fabulous gay boots are made with love, and for walking.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A/discussion.

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.

TICKETS & PRICING

This is a free event but we need your donations on the night to ensure the continuation of the VITO project. All donations go towards covering the costs associated with running the event (film licences, heating and lighting, rental of the premises, printing, promotion etc). Donations are VITO’s only source of funding and we need to raise an average of £5 per person just to cover our costs. So PLEASE DIG DEEP and give us a paper donation if you are able to.
