Seventh Row

🎬 What stories are being told about queer and trans lives — and which ones are still missing? That’s the jumping off point for Living Out Loud, a free 3-day online summit on queer + trans storytelling in film, theatre, TV, and history. 📅 Oct 3–5, 2–4pm ET 💻 On Zoom | 🎟️ Free

no please keep perpetuating the ahistorical, nonfactual idea that no "positive", "non traumatic" LGBTQ media representation existed before a couple of weeks ago, really enjoying it

HAMNET left @amuredda and me dry-eyed, so we dug into why it didn’t work for us, how it adapts the novel, and why some passing knowledge of Shakespeare might hinder rather than help your appreciation of the film seventh-row.com/2025/12/12/ep-…

The Long Take is a space for deep, layered film conversations about film with the same small group, over 4 months. 🎟️ Space is capped at 20 — save your seat before we start Nov 2. seventh-row.com/the-long-take

🎬 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.

📍 Sunday, Oct 5 | 2–4pm ET 👉 Register free to join us: seventh-row.com/livingoutloud

I’ll frame the film, we’ll watch it together, then rewatch key scenes + discuss. This kind of curated screening is something I usually only offer in my paid programs.

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

If you missed today’s conversation, you can catch the replay when you register for FREE! And we’ll continue tomorrow and Sunday afternoon with more conversations!

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/livingoutloud

🌈 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.

@EmiGarside 💡 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/livingoutloud

@EmiGarside We're also joined by: ✨ Dr. Elspeth Brown — Historian & director of the LGBTQcollaboratory, who has led major projects preserving queer + trans oral histories. ✨ Angelo Madsen — filmmaker (North by Current, A Body to Live In) Register FREE to attend: seventh-row.com/livingoutloud

🌈 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.

@cj_prin @TyleKurner @bwestcineaste We’ll dig into: ✨ Why so many queer films fly under the radar ✨ Which stories get told — and which don’t ✨ How context + history shift the way we watch ✨ How queer + trans stories can connect deeply, even if they’re not your story Register free: seventh-row.com/livingoutloud

🌈 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.🧵
