Come celebrate le***an visibility week at the Roxie this Sunday!!

Le****ns didn’t always get to see themselves on screen, but between Stonewall, the feminist movement, and the experimental cinema of the 1970’s, they built visibility and transformed the social imagination about q***rness. Filmmakers Barbara Hammer, Su Friedrich, Rose Troche, Cheryl Dunye, Yoruba Richen, Desiree Akhavan, Vicky Du, Jenni Olson, and film critic B. Ruby Rich, among many others, share moving — and often hilarious — stories from their lives to discuss how they’ve expressed q***r identity through film.

Stop by Mother and show your ticket for $1 off of drinks the day of the screening!
