Lesbian Space Princess

THE FUTURE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE STRAIGHT! Queer joy takes up space in Lesbian Space Princess, one of the summer open-air highlights. What begins as a mission to rescue an ex becomes a journey towards self-love. Along the way: camp humour, cosmic chaos, and a gleeful send-up of heteronormativity.

BRAZIL SNEAK SCREENING RECAP

Another movie night in the company of friends. This time: a Brazilian road movie with hard edges and a big heart. The first screening of 2026, Central Station (Central do Brasil, 1998), takes us across Brazil as Dora helps a young boy find his father. As their unlikely bond grows, her cynicism slowly gives way to compassion. Their journey becomes a moving exploration of human connection.
