We are excited to announce that our queer anthology film, Stories of our Lives, is screening as part of the Bird’s Eye View for Pride 2020 Takeover by Campbell X, an amazing trans filmmaker! Campbell X is a luminary in contemporary British queer cinema, and for Pride Month this year, they have curated a mixture of features and shorts exploring the black queer experience—including our little film! 

Stories will be screened alongside two other amazing films: Lucah Rosenberg-Lee’s  Passing, a tender documentation of the lives of 3 trans men of colour; and Tracy Heather Strain’s Sighted Eyes Feeling Heart, the first feature documentary based on the life of visionary African American playwright, Lorraine Hansberry. For details on how to watch all 3 films, click here.

Our very own Jim Chuchu will be in conversation with Campbell on Facebook Live tonight at 8pm EAT (6pm British Standard Time!)! Come take part in this incredible conversation here!
