Moonlight

Aspect Film Club is a community film club for people of colour.

Aspect Film Club presents MOONLIGHT, the brilliant coming-of-age movie directed by Barry Jenkins.

MOONLIGHT follows Chiron through three stages of his life: childhood, teenagehood and adulthood. The film portrays life in America as a Black and gay man, in a coming-of-age drama full of tenderness — and complete with beautiful cinematography. A well-deserved Oscar Best Picture winner, starring Trevante Rhodes and André Holland.

Warnings for physical and emotional child abuse.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Aspect Film Club is designed for people of colour to connect with fellow film lovers and watch cinema from around the world. Allies are kindly requested to respect the intentions of the space.

Our mission is to intentionally build and foster community. We choose to centre people of colour in an effort to move away from the whiteness/white sensibilities that can dominate arts communities and conversations. We want to develop into a place for you to regularly catch up with friends, connect with new people, watch a movie on a big screen, and celebrate cinema.

Thank you to everybody who has come to an event so far — we truly appreciate the support! <3
