Lesley Loksi Chan’s poignant work of archival intimacy blends fragments of her research notes with the unfinished footage of Lloyd Wong, a man who documented his life living with AIDS in the early 1990s. Rough and unprocessed, her film explores the meaning of queer inheritance, of incompletion, and the act of repeated looking.

Join us for conversation, connection and a little collective exhale as we press pause on the screenings and gather around the table. Good films nourish the mind. But, good food and good company take care of everything else!

A kilted warrior crowns the New York skyline in this joyous tribute to Jesse Rae, a musician from the Scottish Borders who plugged into the electric current of Parliament-Funkadelic. From bringing 80s NYC to a standstill atop the Brooklyn Bridge to shaping seminal hits like Inside Out, Rae fused tartan swagger with transatlantic groove to craft a mythic, pluralist vision of Scotland in the key of funk!

Filmed in Angus, Scotland, Soft Fruit follows migrant seasonal workers on an industrial berry farm as they pick, prepare and transport crops. Candid conversations and scenes of rebellious, collective gathering appear alongside observational footage in shifting visual formats – from high-definition video to 16mm, and CGI inspired by medieval Islamic cosmography – building a layered sense of time and place.
