Celebrating Norwich Pride 2010

To celebrate Norwich's second Pride Festival, Cinema City in conjunction with Norwich Pride and the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival are screening a series of films centred on life in the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community.

Thursday 29 July, 9.00

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES (15)

Introduced by George Pearce, Chair of Norfolk Constabulary Independent Advisory Group

The most successful French film of the 1970s, based on a long-running boulevard farce which went on to enjoy an '80s afterlife as a Broadway musical. Gay cabaret owners Renato and Albin are persuaded by Renato's son to act straight in an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of his fiancée’s parents.

Sunday 1 August, 5.00

BREAKFAST ON PLUTO (15)

Introduced by Michael Fletcher, Hospitality Team Leader, Norwich Pride Collective

The film follows the exploits of Patrick Braden, an endearing but tough young man. Abandoned as a baby in a small Irish town and aware that he is somehow different, Patrick survives in his harsh environment through his wit and charm, plus a sweet refusal to let anyone change who he is.

Sunday 8 August, 5.00

CHILDREN OF GOD (15)

An important and bold work that tells a tale of young love set against a backdrop of violent homophobia and social unease.

Sunday 15 August, 5.45

AND THEN CAME LOLA (15)

Sexy lesbian romp, with an irreverent nod to the popular art-house classic RUN LOLA RUN.

Sunday 22 August, 5.30
