Welcome to our group! We welcome friends from all ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and age. We value diversity in all its forms and reject prejudice against immigrants and refugees. We watch and discuss valuable, meaningful movies. Please check out the many meetups already scheduled for the near future. We have a thing for edgy, boundary-pushing, and first of all foreign movies.

Music Box Theatre, 3733 North Southport Avenue, Chicago, IL, USJoin us for the "Reeling Film Fest.” the annual celebration of LGBTQ+ cinema. From Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi — known together as Los Javis — La Bola Negra follows three generations of men across pivotal moments in Spanish history, bound by pain, desire, and love. Carlos (Milo Quifes) longs to belong in a fractured Spain. Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente) finds connection across enemy lines. And Alberto (Carlos González) uncovers a long-buried family secret — one that finally gives voice to truths the past tried to erase.

Let’s watch “DEAD MAN” by JIM JARMUSCH + dinner, discussion
Facets, 1517 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL, USDead Man is a classic to watch on a big screen. A hallucinatory Western drifting between life and death, Dead Man (1995) is Jim Jarmusch’s haunting meditation on violence, capitalism, and spiritual decay in the American frontier.
The film follows William Blake (Johnny Depp), a mild-mannered accountant who travels west for work only to find himself wounded, on the run, and mistaken for the dead poet of the same name. As he moves deeper into unfamiliar territory, Blake is guided by Nobody (Gary Farmer), a wanderer who interprets his journey through poetry, memory, and myth.YOU CAN BUY YOUR TICKET HERE
I WILL HAVE DINNER AT “VEGAN PLATE” (across the street from Facets) at 5.50pm. I will be in Facets’ lobby at 6.45. After the show, we’ll discuss the film in Facets’ cozy lounge. Drinks are available.
