Our favourite quirky queer cinephiles are back with a Christmas vendetta to serve up alongside complimentary lashings of mince pies and mulled wine. Using short queer films linked to the past, present and future, this re-invention of the old British seasonal staple A Christmas Carol aims to create a moral introspective of human nature, and a changing self, through the lens of time. Meet Ama, a Japanese diver who become the subject of the female gaze, peer through the archive footage of Lankester Harding and his subjects of desire from his Pathé Baby Cine camera and watch the tale of two men meeting on a hook-up app for the first time unfold. Stay after for some festive fun, frivolities and chat.
