This summer, we are teaming up with the Queer Summer Film Program, which runs from July 9 to 20 and aims to celebrate and explore perspectives of queer love, sexuality and gender diversity. Organized together with various film festivals and queer organizations, the program consists of a balanced program of queer films: unforgettable classics as well as new gems.
Dreamers
After living undocumented in the UK for two years, Nigerian migrant Isio is caught and sent to the Hatchworth Removal Centre. She hopes for a fair asylum hearing and is convinced that, as long as she strictly follows the rules, she will be released – even if her charismatic new roommate Farah tells her this is a naive mistake. As Isio adjusts to life in the Removal Centre, she finds herself falling for Farah, as well as becoming close to her new friends Nana and Atefeh. When Isio’s asylum application is rejected, Farah suggests they escape together to give their love a chance. Isio initially refuses. But when events beyond their control threaten the promise of a new life, she realises that she has to start playing by her own rules.
