This year’s Gold on Film festival at Curzon Goldsmiths is celebrating the best in local, LGBT and animated films.
A still from award-winning short film Sign
Beginning on Friday 16 March, the annual festival is held at Curzon Goldsmiths cinema based in the Richard Hoggart Building on Lewisham Way.
Now in its second year, it spans five days and will show a huge variety of films ranging from a short documentary about the Battle of Lewisham to an advanced preview screening of highly anticipated Chinese animation Big Fish & Begonia.
Gold on Film gets underway with a screening of two of the most celebrated films of recent years in LGBT cinema.
On 16 March it will show feature-length documentary Queerama and short film Sign back to back.
Queerama is a compilation of archive footage from 1919 to the present, from both documentary and fictional sources, set to music, illustrating the huge changes in LGBTQ life in Britain over the 20th century.
It is directed by Daisy Asquith, Senior Lecturer and convenor of the MA Filmmaking at Goldsmiths, University of London.
