Seventh Row

🎬 What if talking about movies felt more like improv? Not “being clever on cue” improv. But listening closely. Picking up on what someone just noticed. Adding something new. Discovering something together. That’s the spirit we bring inside The Long Take—a new space I've built.

Tomorrow is the finale of Living Out Loud. We’ll watch a 2017 British short that revives queer archives and stages a script about a gay couple facing blackmail.

📜 A lost 1950s gay script. 🎬 A queer short film that mixes archives + fiction. 💡 And a live discussion to unpack it together.

Join us this weekend for panel discussions with @emigarside, @cj_prin, @tylekurner, and more on Friday/Saturday. Join us on Sunday for a queer short film screening and discussion with @bwestcineaste. Register FREE to access all three days: seventh-row.com/livingoutlou…

🌈 Living Out Loud starts this Friday! A 3-day FREE online summit exploring queer + trans stories and histories on screen (and beyond). Each day builds on the last — you’ll get the richest experience if you join for more than one, but you’re welcome to drop in for any.

💡 Expect rich, interactive conversations about how we remember queer and trans lives — and the role film, theatre, TV, and archives play in telling these stories. And yes, you’ll get to join in, too with your own Qs and ideas. 🔗 Free registration: seventh-row.com/livingoutlou…

🌈 Tomorrow we kick off Living Out Loud — a free, 3-day online summit on queer + trans cinema and history. Day 1 (Friday, Oct 3, 2–4pm ET): Reclaiming Queer + Trans History Queer and trans people have always existed — but history books rarely tell the full story.

🌈 What makes a story queer or trans? Depends who you ask — and the era you’re looking at. Is it about LGBTQ+ characters? LGBTQ+ filmmakers? Or something else entirely? Join @cj_prin, @tylekurner, @bwestcineaste, and Lena Wilson as they dig into it and why this matters.🧵
