Last month we announced that we had appointed a new Staff Events Manager<\/a> to plan staff only events every term.<\/p>\n

The first of these will be a virtual Media and Book Club, which we hope to make a regular event.<\/p>\n

The idea is to pick a film, TV show, documentary or book for the group to watch or read individually (all suggestions welcome) and then we\u2019ll get together to have a chat about it over a cup of tea or a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

October\u2019s choice, Gossamer Folds<\/a> was suggested by a Kaleidoscope member and is available to stream for free as part of the Iris Prize LGBT+ Film Festival 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the summer of 1986, ten-yr-old Tate Millikin is uprooted and forced to move to the suburbs of Kansas City. When his transphobic father discovers that their next door neighbour is a trans woman named Gossamer, he forbids Tate to even say hello to her. As Tate\u2019s parents\u2019 marriage unravels, Tate defies his father\u2019s orders and, instead, forms a powerful bond with Gossamer and her father, Edward, a retired English professor.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can watch the movie for free from 8-11 October<\/a> and we will then host the discussion on Wednesday 14 October at 8pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Please add the event to your diary and join using the link below.<\/p>\n
