Free Film Screening: “Desert Hearts”
“Desert Hearts” is a classic queer film which was groundbreaking when it was released. Set in Reno, Nevada in 1959, it tells the story of a university professor awaiting a divorce who finds her true self through a relationship with another, more self-confident woman. The film stars Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau with a supporting performance by Audra Lindley. Presented by the King’s Theatre, the screening is free with free-will donations welcome! Please reserve your seat by booking here.
