JUMP ON IT

Welcome to Curious Sources where we screened three iconic films that make us CURIOUS; including Magic Mike XXL (2015), Hustlers (2019) and Zola (2020). Looking at curious source material all claiming to be based on true stories; on the surface level these films are described as provocative, sexual, suggestive, and entices people with their explicit nature and gyrating forces but underneath they question a more sinister fight for survival and an uneven playing field.

The screenings were followed by a pop-quiz you didn’t know you needed co-hosted with some of our favourite pop-culture aficionados delving deeper into the allure that is pop culture, as well as discussing social media’s presence in film, sexuality on screen, and the female/male gaze on screen!

Our Curious Sources season is being brought to you by Film Feels: CURIOUS, a UK wide cinema season taking place June-July 2022 and celebrating films' unique ability to transport us, to illuminate ideas, and to spark exciting conversation.
