OPEN EYES: Queer Film Night

"Open Eyes, Queer Film Night" takes place the first Friday of each month at the Femina Potens Art Gallery. Open Eyes features local artist's provocative, critical, and engaging films currated by Stephanie Yang. In addition to the engaging film screenings, Open Eyes also hosts hot buttery popcorn, cold beer, discussion and an open mic for directors or artists who can provide a film of five minutes or less.

Get ready to rock out to some seriously gay music videos at Femina Potens queer film night! Over the past two decades we have seen the power of a hot video. It can immortalize a band or group and make a director the next big thing. But can a queer music video do something even greater? We will be exploring what happens when queer artists take over behind and in front of the camera. Recently a multitude of gay musicians and filmmakers have joined forces and mediums to share their stories with the world. This month's 'Open Eyes will look at several of these music videos and engage with local filmmakers who are (re)claiming this form in comedic, political and artistic ways.
