Queer cinema classics, cult discoveries and essential LGBTQIA+ stories presented with our friends at Funeral Parade.
Funeral Parade is proud to present The Skin I Live In, Pedro Almodóvar’s psychological melodrama about surgery and obsession.
After twelve years, prominent plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Ledgard has finally created a new form of damage-resistant skin, a breakthrough which could have saved his late wife. However, this modern miracle of medicine was only achieved through Vera, Ledgard’s captive and human guinea pig. Who is she? And what does she have to do with the doctor’s past? The Skin I Live In is a startling thriller which could have only come from one of queer cinema’s most singular voices.
With intro from artist, filmmaker and author Maz Murray.

Just in time for Spooky Season, Funeral Parade is proud to present A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, a queer-coded slasher classic.
The man of your dreams is BACK! That’s right, Freddy Krueger has returned to stalk Elm Street once again – and this time he’s enlisting teenager Jesse Walsh to help carry out his evil deeds. Freddy intends to possess Jesse’s body in order to take his bloody revenge on the teenage population of Springwood, Ohio. Will Jesse be able to resist him? A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge has become infamous for its homoerotic subtext and features an iconic performance from Mark Patton as slasher cinema’s first male “scream queen”.
With intro from film curator Sarah Cleary.
