Pariah (2011)

Grassmarket Community Project is screening Pariah (2011) on Wednesday 21 October, at their cinema space in the Grassmarket Community Picturehouse, 86 Candlemaker Row. It's a 2011 film directed by Dee Rees, and it's her feature debut. She describes it as a tender exploration of Black lesbian identity, and it runs for 86 minutes with a 15 certificate.

The screening is hosted by the Grassmarket Community Project, a wheelchair-accessible Edinburgh venue. Their cinema programme runs on a sliding-scale ticket model, and all the income goes back into keeping the screenings running. The film is shown with English descriptive subtitles, so it's accessible for those who need them.

On the night, the doors are open from 18:00, and the film starts promptly at 19:00 without trailers, so if you want to be settled in before the first frame, you'll want to arrive a bit early. Tickets are £3, £5, or £7 on a sliding scale, and entry is free for Grassmarket Community Project members, open door meal attendees, and anyone else in need of a free ticket. The whole thing runs until 20:00.
