I Saw That: Queer Movie Club

I Saw That (Queer Movie Club) is a free event created for the community to come together and enjoy a film, for free! Bring Your Own Snacks!

For our 20th IST:QMC we will be showing Beautiful Thing (1996, R, 89 Mins) directed by Hettie MacDonald

Overview from Rotten Tomatoes:

Shy Jamie (Glen Berry) and athletic Ste (Scott Neal) are teen boys who live near each other in the London projects. Both boys think they could be gay, and finally explore their feelings when Ste is allowed to stay over at Jamie's place after an incident with his abusive father. There, the boys grow close and open themselves up to the idea of homosexuality, while Jamie's caring mother, Sandra (Linda Henry), and quirky teen neighbor, Leah (Tameka Empson), offer much needed emotional support.
