MOVIE NIGHT · Pride Month

Celebrate Pride Month with a special movie night at ICANA - Sede Belgrano in Buenos Aires. Join us for a screening of a film that highlights the strength and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community in the USA. Let's come together to honor and empower LGBTQIA+ individuals everywhere. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy a night of impactful documentaries. See you there!

Watching a movie can often be something that many of us look forward to, it allows us to relax, disconnect and have a good time. When we watch a movie, we experience different emotions, it helps inspire motivation and can even give us energy for real life!
Program created and coordinated by ICANA. Sponsored by the US Embassy in Argentina.

The program is in English and it includes:

• Movie watch (90 minutes).
• Discuss the movie with the audience (30 minutes). The discussion will be facilitated by ICANA staff. The exchange of ideas is fun and participants may learn something about the film from someone else that they didn't pick up on themselves.

Program open to the community at large. +17 years old. Intermediate and Advanced level of English. Free of charge.

Synopsis: A group of queer and trans actors in Los Angeles audition for the role of coming out. As they reenact typical coming out scenes, they draw from their own biographies, intertwining with the filmmaker and blurring the line between reality and performance.

Themes: Civil Rights; LGBTQ+; American Experience; Fight for Equality

Run Time: 1hr 22m

Synopsis: In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. Such raids were not unusual in the late 1960s, an era when homosexual sex was illegal in every state but Illinois. That night, however, the street erupted into violent protests and demonstrations that lasted for the next six days.

The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world.
