Enjoy an afternoon of escapism with a special double feature of the latest in queer cinema, Edie & Thea: a Very Long Engagement and An Englishman in New York.

Edie & Thea is an American film from 2009 which follows the lives of feisty and delightful community activist couple Edie and Thea who are finally getting married after surviving 42 years of personal and political battles. An Englishman in New York is a 2009 biopic that chronicles the English gay writer Quentin Crisp's later years spent in New York City. It’s a follow-up to the 1975 TV movie The Naked Civil Servant with John Hurt reprising his role as Crisp.

Delicious afternoon tea will be served by charming matinee guydolls as you mingle at Sydney’s best independent cinema, the Chauvel. Presented by ACON and Queerscreen.
