Description

The Q26 and Cuties are excited to announce our Critical Eye Movie Night series! This special set of events is more than just film screenings; it also creates space to have an honest discussion about the media created to represent US and OUR realities. Come watch, review, and talk honestly about what these films did well and how we can continue moving forward with excellent queer media! Please join us on Saturday September 24th. Our September featured film is The Handmaiden. Set during Japan's occupation of Korea in the 1930s, Park Chan-wook's "The Handmaiden" centers on a woman who begins a romance with the Japanese heiress whose inheritance she has been hired to help steal. The two main women fall in love and enact their own plan for revenge without having to come out to, be outed, or be discovered by the men manipulating them.
