Friday, June 2, 2023 at 7PM (CST) WINTER BOY Directed by Christophe Honore. France, 2022 17-year-old Lucas is drifting through his last year of boarding school until the sudden death of his father strips away everything he took for granted. Left filled with anger and despair, he visits his older brother in Paris seeking comfort in the new city. Friday, June 9, 2023 at 7PM (CST) THE FIVE DEVILS Directed by Lea Mysius, France, 2022 Vicky has a mysterious gift: she can recreate any scent she comes across, even that of her beloved mother Joanne. When her estranged aunt suddenly returns to town, the invocation of her fragrance plunges the young girl back in time to unravel a past replete with family secrets and queer romance. Friday, June 16, 2023 at 7PM (CST) GREAT FREEDOM Directed by Sebastian Meise. Austria, Germany, 2021 In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for everyone. Hans is imprisoned again and again under Paragraph 175, a law criminalizing homosexuality. Over the course of decades, he develops an unlikely yet tender bond with his cellmate Viktor, a convicted murderer. Friday, June 23, 2023 at 7PM (CST) MONEY BOYS Directed by C.B. Yi, Austria, France, 2021 Fei makes a living in the big city working as a hustler. His world collapses when he realizes that his family accepts his money but not his homosexuality. Broken-hearted, Fei struggles to create a new beginning in his life. Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7PM (CST) MATTHIAS & MAXIME Directed by Xavier Dolan, Canada, 2019 Two childhood best friends are asked to share a kiss for the purposes of a student short film. Soon, a lingering doubt sets in, confronting both of them with their preferences, threatening the brotherhood of their social circle, and, eventually, changing their lives.
