The Vito Project presents; Bolenso (2015), Wednesday 27th June @ 7pm
Sincerest apologies, but A Deal With The Universe (2018) will no longer be shown on June 27th.
The VITO Project is delighted to present a rare screening of Bolesno, a documentary by Hrvoje Mabic (Croatia, 2015).
Bolesno is the true story of Ana, a Croatian girl who was interned in a psychiatric hospital by her parents, who didn’t react well to her homosexuality. Heavily traumatized by five years in the Lopaca Psychiatric Hospital, Ana is now free but struggling to re-establish a semblance of normal life. The film follows Ana’s singular journey of transformation and ends two years later when Ana is finally ready to move on.
Bolesno is a rare and poignant documentary bringing to light the horrors and consequences of “conversion therapies”, or “sexual reorientation therapies”.
The project is endorsed by BFI Flare: London LGBT film festival, 56 Dean St, QX Magazine, Gay’s the Word, ACT UP London, Gay Mates, a Change of Scene, the Cara Trust, I-Base, UK-CAB, Positively UK, Gaydio, NAZ Project, Frank Byrne & his walkers and Broad Appeal Podcast.
Doors to the cafe/bar will open at 18.00 for a 19.00 screening. Come early to secure a seat as it can get very busy and we do not take bookings. The doors to the Cinema will be shut once capacity is reached.
This is a free event but we need your donations on the night to ensure the continuation of the VITO project.
