London: Artist and Activist Seminar: BiGS Against Homophobia (LGBT History Month)
Description
Screening of Brighton Bandits (Ian McDonald, 2007), followed by a discussion with the film maker.
Brighton Bandits is the first ever in-depth documentary about a gay football team. It debunks the myth that gay men don't play football. Brighton Bandits captures the passion for football in the gay community and allows the players to emerge as people with bold and poignant stories to tell. Sprinkled with humour and pathos, Brighton Bandits moves rhythmically between thought-provoking views to football action. With no commentary and no musical score in the film, the voices of the players and the sounds of the pitch keep it raw and real.
