A screening of the new film in The Lesbian Bar Project series followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Erica Rose and stalwarts of Manchester's sapphic scene and an unmissable after party. "The Lesbian Bar Project: FLINTA" captures the vibrant stories of the FLINTA communities in Cologne and Berlin, showcasing the evolution of queer culture amidst the decline of traditional lesbian bars in Germany and puts into context scenes around the world and in our city.
The Lesbian Bar Project goes international! For the past three years, the Emmy and GLAAD Award-Winning docuseries has been telling the stories about lesbian queer bars and the communities they serve in the United States, and this is the first international episode.
“The Lesbian Bar Project: FLINTA” documents the complex and triumphant stories of the FLINTA (Female, Lesbian Intersex, Non-Binary, Trans, and Agender) communities in Cologne & Berlin, Germany; a reflection of where the queer community is headed internationally.
Despite Lesbian Bars disappearing in Germany, there’s a growing FLINTA movement that epitomizes the evolution of queer culture.
The episode features Boize Bar owner Payman Neziri, comedian Ricarda Hofmann, human rights activist Anbid Zaman, politician Tessa Ganserer, and party collectives Bebex and Girls Town.
Enjoy a Q&A with filmmaker Erica Rose and a panel of guests. And then the After party with Manchester sapphic party starters The Mix-stress and Good Afternoon.
