Screening: Chocolate Babies (1996) by Stephen Winter
January 18 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Black Cinema Project and Mollasses PRESENT – Stephen Winter’s iconic film Chocolate Babies (1996) at Wharf Chambers on Thursday 18th January!
“Through a campaign of satirical surprise attacks, an underground band of radical Black queer HIV+ activists and drag queens take to the streets of New York City to combat conservative politicians and government apathy towards AIDS.
A frenetic debut feature from writer/director Stephen Winter, Chocolate Babies unleashes a world of anarchic camp and unapologetic Black queer power in one of the hidden gems of New Queer Cinema, ripe for rediscovery and ready to be introduced to new audiences.”
Location: Wharf Chambers, Leeds, UK
Doors: 6pm
Screening and Open Discussion: 6.30 – 9pm
Tickets: PAYF
