Retrospective Screening: Full blast and Welcome To Africville
When: Wed., June 15, 8 p.m. 2016
Media Queer, the online database preserving Canadian LGBTQ+ moving image works, presents two films from their archives. Full Blast, based on a novel of the same name, tells the story of five rural characters going nowhere, including Charles, a gay man returning to the small town of his childhood. Welcome to Africville is a faux-documentary short telling the story of three generations in an Africville family, including an openly gay woman in her 30s.
