Free LGBTQ+ Film Series at St Bart’s Presents “Weekend”
Saint Barts Church, 109 E 50th Street ( East corner of Park Avenue), New York, NY, USAnthony Perrotto hosts a free gay film series sponsored by the LGBTQ+ Community at St. Bart’s, featuring films with gay themes.
Please join us 3/20 at 6PM for “Weekend”.
Please enter through St Bart’s Rectory Door, 109 E 50th Street (between Lexington and Park Avenues).
Following the film, we’ll have dinner at a moderately priced nearby Mediterranean cuisine restaurant.
Attendees are asked to bring cash to pay for dinner, as some restaurants do not provide individual checks for large groups. When that happens, it can be extremely difficult to settle the bill if some people are paying by card while others use cash. Depending upon what you order, I would estimate bringing $35-$60 in cash for your meal.Weekend:
The story begins on a Friday night in Nottingham, England. Russell, a quiet lifeguard in his late twenties, meets Glen, an outspoken art student, at a gay nightclub. What begins as a casual one night stand turns into something deeper when Glen asks Russell to talk about the encounter for an art project about intimacy. Over the course of the weekend they continue seeing each other, and their conversations become increasingly personal as they discuss sex, relationships, identity, and their very different views on love. Russell is cautious and emotionally guarded, while Glen is more provocative and philosophical. As their connection grows, they are confronted with the fact that Glen is about to leave the country for several years. By Sunday night they realize that their brief encounter has become meaningful, and the film ends with a quiet, emotionally powerful farewell. Much of the story unfolds through long, naturalistic conversations, giving the film an unusually intimate and realistic feeling.Interestingly, despite its modest budget and limited theatrical release, the film won major festival honors including Audience Awards at the SXSW Film Festival and Outfest Los Angeles and was named British/Irish Film of the Year by the London Critics’ Circle. It has since become something of a cult classic in LGBTQ cinema, often cited alongside Brokeback Mountain and Call Me by Your Nameas one of the most authentic relationship films of the past couple of decades.
