SUMMARY:Reel Q Presents: A Pride Month Screening of "10s Across the Borders"
DESCRIPTION:This program is preceded by a FREE happy hour with complimentary drinks and snacks! Doors open at 6 pm. \nIt is City of Asylum’s distinct joy to welcome back our longtime partners Reel Q for a joyous queer film screening this Pride Month! Reel Q’s mission is to increase the availability and accessibility of queer film in Pittsburgh\, and this program features international cinema centering queer characters. Previous screenings have shown films such as Finlandia (Mexico)\, Happy Together (Hong Kong)\, and The Queen of My Dreams (Pakistan/Canada). This June\, Reel Q presents “10s Across the Borders.” \nSet in Thailand\, the Philippines\, Malaysia\, New York\, and elsewhere\, “10s Across the Borders” is a pan-Asian queer film that confronts homophobia\, transphobia\, and racism while celebrating the region’s underground ballroom culture. As the title suggests\, Sze-Wei Chan envisions a world where members of Ballroom communities far from New York can also score a perfect 10. \nThis film follows three leading characters of Southeast Asia’s ballroom scene—Teddy from Malaysia who ran away from his homophobic father\, Xyza from the Philippines who found beauty in herself after being rejected by the modeling world\, and Sun who was born to a Thai sex worker mother and European father. \nIn the film’s finale\, the performers’ surreal performance cuts between Southeast Asia’s back alleys and New York’s bustling streets\, dissolving boundaries of nation\, gender\, race\, age\, religion\, and class to soar beyond the rainbow. This is Southeast Asia’s answer to the seminal documentary\, the 1990 classic Paris is Burning. \nIn addition to the film screening\, this program includes a voguing demonstration by True T Pittsburgh. \nReel Q hosts one of the oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals in the world. Since 1985\, Reel Q has remained steadfast in their mission and worked diligently to highlight the diverse experiences of our worldwide community. For the better part of a decade\, City of Asylum has been partnering with Reel Q to bring unique\, international queer films to audiences (for free!) in a series formerly known as “Reel Stories.” From dramas to documentaries to playful rom-coms\, we are honored and delighted to serve as a platform for these beautiful works to reach new audiences. \nAbout Your Visit:  \nThe in-house restaurant\, Cucina Alfabeto\, is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays\, but there will be complimentary popcorn and snacks provided for attendees.  \nShare this:
