Families Like Ours, a new and inspiring documentary film about LGBT+ people and families living in Sheffield is set to premiere at the Odeon Cinema in Sheffield on 17 September 2014.
The film, which is part of E.D.E.N Film Productions’ project raising awareness of homophobia and transphobia in the UK, features interviews with prolific LGBT rights promoters, as well as Sheffield residents sharing their stories about what it’s like to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning in the UK today. It also features Lisa Hall of Team Climax!
The main focus of the film is family and all the wonderful shapes and constellations in which they come and you can watch it – for free!
Everyone is invited to come to the free screening of the film in Sheffield on Wednesday 17 September at 10am (just register for a ticket here) and chances are that watching the film will leave you feeling both educated and inspired.
Families Like Ours has been created by members of Sheffield’s LGBT community taking part in a project run by E.D.E.N Incubator. The project hopes to raise awareness of homophobia and transphobia and the film will prove to anyone that Sheffield is a very open and inclusive place to live.
“The participants of E.D.E.N Incubator have worked so hard since March to create such a powerful film that will educate and provide awareness for homophobia and transphobia. The group members have developed skills in sound recording, using a camera, editing, interviewing and presenting. It has been a fantastic project, one where we have all grown close as a group and we are all looking forward to showing the final product at the Odeon Sheffield Cinema. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the project throughout its journey,” said Claire Watkinson, E.D.E.N Managing Director.
After the film screening there will be chance to ask questions to the participants of the E.D.E.N Incubator project about their filmmaking experiences and there will also be after show celebrations at Icons bar on West Street in Sheffield from 12.45pm.
