The Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) is hosting a film
festival in the exclusive private screening room at the One Aldwych
Hotel, Covent Garden, London.

Keith Angus - festival organiser - says "GALHA is proud to be
arranging this film festival, and offering a great selection of films
including a UK premiere that's only just previewed at the Berlin LGBT
film festival"

The carefully selected programme has been chosen to appeal to a
lesbian and gay audience, with a mix of the intriguing, fantastic,
disturbing, thought-provoking, and downright funny.

Online booking is open. The private screening room only seats 30
people so book now. Tickets are £8 per show, which not only gives you
a reserved seat in the private screening room, but also includes free
popcorn!

The programme kicks off on Saturday 10th March with the Magdalene
Sisters, a harrowing true story about the infamous Catholic laundries
for fallen women. The second film - also on the 10th - is Twenty
Centimetres, an Almodovarean fantasy comedy film which was showcased
at New York's 2006 LGBT film festival, and went down a storm.

Next in the programme is The God Who Wasn't There; a film documentary
that holds modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight and picks it
apart with help from luminaries such as Richard Dawkins. This is
preceded by the UK premiere of Moscow Pride '06 Uncut, a fascinating
depiction of the festival banned by city officials. It's just been
showcased at Berlin's LGBT film festival and GALHA is very fortunate
to have secured its UK premiere. This double bill is showing on
Saturday 17th March.

The fourth and final showcase is another double bill: 'Boys Beware!'
is a selection of short public information films from the 1950's
warning young people of the evils of homosexuality. These films have
only just been released into the public domain and really are a
must-see. These are followed by a Sunday matinee treat showing of
Brief Encounter. An affair de coeur superbly acted by Celia Johnson
and Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter is often described as one of the
ultimate gay films - for whom the subject of forbidden love in
ordinary lives - has special resonance. This final double-bill is
showing on Sunday 18th March.

Keith adds: "all these films are well worth seeing in their own right,
and to watch them in the comfort of a private screening room makes
them unmissable. And free popcorn? The icing on the big gay humanist
cake!"
