LGBT+ History Month 2025

Thu 06 Feb — Fri 28 Feb 2025

Throughout February The Garden Cinema is celebrating LGBT+ History Month. Join us for a selection of contemporary and classic queer titles (some of which have been proposed by members), alongside exciting partnership events.

Marlene Dietrich performs one of the first ever female-to-female kisses on a Hollywood screen in Josef von Sternberg’s Morocco (1930) and Renate Müller playfully bends genders in Reinhold Schünzel’s 1933 musical comedy Victor and Victoria.

David Lynch’s enigmatic cult classic Mulholland Drive screens alongside Miranda July’s wildly original queer heist comedy Kajillionaire, Tom Ford’s poignant debut A Single Man and Derek Jarman’s visionary Jubilee.

Queer East presents Ben Mullinkosson’s documentary The Last Year of Darkness about Funky Town, the underground queer club in Chengdu, China
