| | | | GAZE ONLINE - SURVIVING PULSE: LIFE AFTER A MASS SHOOTING
RENT FOR €7.50
73 mins, USA, 2021, Digital, F-Rated
We said we would remember. But have we…?
In June 2016, Pulse Nightclub was hopping with happy clubbers until the unthinkable happened – a terrorist attack affecting hundreds of people and stealing 49 lives. Remembering Pulse, this film revisits survivors and friends and families of victims, sharing interviews held over a 5-year period, as time passes but wounds remain. Many of these experiences have never been aired before. Courage, pain and resilience shine throughout this moving documentary portrayal of the aftermath of violence. |

| | | | | | GAZE ONLINE - DEATH AND BOWLING
RENT FOR €7.50
64 mins, Canada, 2021, Digital
“I want you to see me. I want to see myself…”
Love, sex, death and gender are just a few of the topics in this incredibly bold and imaginative hour-long narrative from Canada’s Lyle Kash. A lesbian bowling league and the struggles of a trans actor form the setting, while the plot evolves into road movie, buddy film, and existential pondering on trans representation in art and life. Did we mention, it’s really funny too? The boxing scene in the desert is one of the most impactful and glorious episodes of trans imagery we’ve seen this year. |

La Haine
"This gritty contemporary classic captures the stories of three youths living on the outskirts of Paris and of society, and the conflict and tension that exists between their community and the Parisian police. As hard-hitting now as it was when first released in 1995, this film truly embodies the line “la haine attire la haine” (hatred begets hatred)."
