Femme18
After a homophobic attack shatters his life and career as a drag performer, Jules is left haunted and angry. When he spots one of his attackers in a gay sauna months later, he sees a chance for revenge. Disguised and unrecognisable without his drag persona, Jules begins to infiltrate the man’s life, but what starts as retribution soon becomes something more complex. Adapted from their BAFTA-nominated short, directors Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping deliver a bold, stylish thriller exploring power, identity, and seduction.
UPDATE: this screening will no longer be introduced by Guardian film critic Ryan Gilbey as previously advertised. Apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience caused.
Reviews
‘Revenge is rarely a tidy business. But Femme, a savagely sexy queer erotic thriller, explores just how messily complex retribution can be.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer
‘George MacKay and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett utterly thrill in this sexually charged, suspense-filled watch. Don’t let this one pass you by.’
★★★★
Sophie Butcher, Empire Magazine

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
