Join us at 7:30 pm on October 18th for a screening of John Cameron Mitchell’s film ‘Shortbus’!

At 7:30 we will commence a 1/2 hour fun-filled interactive workshop with folks from the Sexual Health Resource Centre, including games. The SHRC crew will also be bringing a sex toy kit and will answer any of your questions. Come and bring your friends. Movie starts at 8pm!

Spatially connected through a cartoon New York City, a number of individuals’ stories develop: there’s Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee), a frigid sex counselor who’s unhappily married to Rob (Raphael Barker) “the two Jamies,” (Paul Dawson and PJ DeBoy) who struggle with their relationship, searching new paths of sexual enlightenment; and a lonely, Polaroid-obsessed dominatrix to trust fund hipsters.

These stories and others meet in the secret downtown club that gives the film its name, a “salon for the gifted and challenged” where initiates go to eat “potcorn,” participate in orgies, or just watch as self-proclaimed orgasmic superheroes do their thing.

When the city’s lights fail, the film rides to its delicious climax, a joyful carnival of desperate souls and gleeful deviants.
