Bless them, but it can be alienating for us more seasoned folks.

  • San Francisco 2019-12-15: All We’ve Got – Bay Area Premiere

    oin us for the Bay Area premiere of ALL WE’VE GOT, with Q&A to follow featuring the film’s director, along with special guests!

    ALL WE’VE GOT is a personal exploration of LGBTQ* women’s communities, cultures, and social justice work through the lens of the physical spaces they create, from bars to bookstores to arts and political hubs.

    In ALL WE’VE GOT, filmmaker Alexis Clements travels the country to explore the factors driving the loss of these spaces, understand why some are able to endure, and to search for community among the ones that remain. From a lesbian bar in Oklahoma; to the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center in San Antonio, TX; to the WOW Café Theatre in New York; to the public gatherings organized by the Trans Ladies Picnics around the US and beyond; to the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, the film takes us into diverse LGBTQ* spaces and shines a light on why having a place to gather matters. Ultimately, ALL WE’VE GOT is a celebration of the history and resilience of the LGBTQ* community and the inclusive spaces they make, as well as a call to action to continue building stronger futures for all communities.

    Tickets must be purchased from the Roxie to attend this event. Get your tickets here: https://www.roxie.com/ai1ec_event/all-weve-got/
