Movie Night: "You Can Live Forever" (2022)

Details

It's been a hot minute since our last in-person meetup!

Join us for an evening of commiseration and bonding over food, drinks and/or movie night!

We will first be meeting at The Sugarbowl (10922 88 avenue) at 7.30PM for food and drink. We will then walk over to Metro Cinema (8712 109 Street) for the 9.15PM screening of "You Can Live Forever" (2022), Official Selection: 2022 Tribeca Film Festival , LA Outfest, Calgary International Film Festival.

Film synopsis:
"In the early ’90s, gay teen Jaime is sent to live with her devout Jehovah’s Witness relatives after the death of her father. Jaime makes an unexpected connection with Marike, daughter of a prominent Witness Elder. The two are instantly drawn to each other and begin a secret, unspoken romance. But when their attraction becomes too obvious to hide, the community moves to separate the two, forcing them each to make a terrible choice between faith and love."

Tickets for the film can be purchased in advance here: https://ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/7068?siteToken=bfsmvs00k2v5xfayv313wkqpkw

Parking is rather limited in the neighbourhood, so please plan in advance. ETS bus number 9 stops nearby. Bus numbers 4, 637, 723, and 726 stop a few blocks further south. Cycling infrastructure is plentiful, along with bike racks to lock up.

Looking forward to seeing everyone! :)
