In celebration of Pride Month, the REELING PRIDE FILM SHOWCASE presented by MUBI, brings audiences together to enjoy LGBTQ+ cinema ahead of the highly anticipated 41st edition of Reeling. The showcase will feature contemporary LGBTQ+ cinema that highlights queer characters on their journeys of self-discovery and explores the connections with family, friends, or lovers that define us. These films represent the vast creative spectrum of contemporary Queer+ Cinema, from intimate chamber dramas to surrealistic horror-fantasies. Most of these deftly-crafted, emotionally intelligent works have never been seen in Chicago theaters despite previously premiering at the most prestigious film showcases, including the Cannes Film Festival, the American Film Institute, and the Toronto International Film Festival.
MUBI continues its vital support of independent film and Queer cinema, sharing five critically-acclaimed feature films from their distribution catalogue, presented & curated in partnership with Chicago Filmmakers.
We are delighted to present this special treat for Pride Month, and don’t forget, your PRIDE Pass unlocks exclusive benefits for this year’s Reeling: The 41st Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival.
