Shetland Film Club will be screening two films as part of LGBT History Month on 17th and 18th February. LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-sexual) History Month is an annual celebration of Britain’s LGBT citizens, which aims to break through the silence that still surrounds the lives of many people who do not conform to conventional notions about sexuality and gender and help to end the sense of isolation and bewilderment felt by so many LGBT people, particularly the young. It aims to make bullying unacceptable and to help to dispel the anxiety and confused rage that drive some people to aggressive and hostile behaviour.
Both films are being shown as part of Shetland Film Club's outreach programme, and the Club acknowledges grant support from Shetland Arts and the Arts Development Fund.
Weekend will be screened at the Shetland Museum and Archive on Friday 17th February at 7.30pm, whilst We Were Here will be shown on Saturday 18th February at 7.30pm. Tickets are available on the door or from Shetland Box Office on 01595 745555, www.shetlandboxoffice.org
