April 8th – The Queer Image #3: Love Lies Bleeding & Aurélien Lepetit
Start #3 : 20.30h
Film: 20:45h

Schuur and Nieuwe Vide jointly present The Queer Image: an intersectional interdisciplinary film program with a queer feminist character. Together we choose a film around themes that play a role in the community. Films in which LGBTQIA people and women are not marginalized or victims, but rather make their voices heard and are in the spotlight.

At every screening, Nieuwe Vide invites a maker who will present a visual work inspired by the themes of the film. Think of performance art, video art, or an artist talk. We will also organize an introduction or discussion for each film and invite you to have drinks in the Schuurcafé and meet members of the community and the makers.

On April 8th is the next edition:

Love Lies Bleeding  In a remote new Mexico Town, gym manager Lou’s life turned upside down with the arrival of bodybuilder Jackie. Jackie, who works at Lou’s criminal father’s shooting range, is dead set on entering a major body building competition in Las Vegas and Lou is all too eager to help her reach this goal. The two lovebirds’ happiness is rudely awakened after Lou’s sister suffer severe physical abuse. Things get out of hand quickly and Lou is forced to face her family’s violent past head on.
