PERSPECTIVES FILM SERIES

Contemporary Calgary in partnership with Pink Flamingo launch a new film series curated by Alia Aluma, that includes QTBIPOC films, diverse voices, global titles and narratives that confront prejudices.

Perspectives Film Series will be presented monthly between September, 2021 through June, 2022. Join us for the first two screenings of this 10 part film series:

Tangerine (2015)

September 2 @ 7:00PM to 9:00PM 

Magnolia Pictures, Duplass Brothers Productions and Through Films present in association with Cre Film & Freestyle Pictures Co. A film by Sean Baker.

September’s Perspective touches on the theme of Women & Men; Vibrant, poetic, and real, Tangerine (2015) reveals the true challenges that women face in different regions and stages of their lives. Exploring the realities of violence against women, coming-of-age, love and relationships, these titles will bring tears and genuine laughter, forcing us to confront our biases and notions of freedom. 

Pink Flamingo Pride After Party will immediately follow.

Details coming soon!
