In post-9/11 New York City, an eclectic group of citizens find their lives entangled, personally, romantically, and sexually, at Shortbus, an underground Brooklyn salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality.
It’s almost time to ride the Shortbus! On November 25, we are having a very special screening of John Cameron Mitchell’s deeply sweet, delightfully randy 2006 film. And we will have its star (and a true local queero) Sook-Yin Lee in the house to have a little salon after the film! It’s always a good time to come together and celebrate bodies and sexuality, but it feels particularly important for us to do that now, and that is exactly what Shortbus has on offer. It’s as progressive and provocative now as it was back in 2006 (if not even more so) and the optimism at its core is something we very much need more of. -PETER KNEGT
