Movie with Pride
Think with Pride UT, together with Concordia Enschede, starts the movie program "Movie with Pride". In the evening of the second Tuesday every month, we will bring (back) a movie that addresses sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and general queerness to the big screen in the beautiful and prestigious arthouse movie theatre of Concordia, right in Enschede's city centre (Oude Markt 15).
With this program, we hope to further promote diversity and inclusion by connecting LGBTQIA+ people and communities (especially us at the UT!) with a broader public and the region's cultural landscape. Next to fostering coherence and connections between people and in the queer community, we try to bring up awareness of, reflection on and discussions about some crucial topics that confront the current society, including sex/gender binarity, identity politics, patriarchy and capitalism.
Movies here are clustered into three. Read below about the three sub-programs!
The movie normally starts at 19:30 and you can enter the venue at 19:00. After the movie we will have ample time to chat, about the movie and about life, over some drinks. One ticket costs 11 euros, 9 euros with a student card. We promise the movies will always be in English, either in audio or with subtitles.
We have tickets available for members who want to join but are not able to due to their financial situation. Please reach out if this applies to you.
programs
Movie with Pride consists of three types of movie activities.
Queer classics
Our selections of classic queer movies - familiar ones like the Oscar winners Midnight Cowboy, Boys Don't Cry, Brokeback Mountain, Moonlight...; global pioneering queer movie-gems like the Swedish Fucking Åmål (aka Show Me Love), Spainish La mala educación (aka Bad Education), Hongkongese 春光乍洩 (aka Happy Together), French La Vie d'Adèle (aka Blue Is the Warmest Colour), Korean 아가씨 (aka Agassi; The Handmaiden), Belgian Girl...; and masterpieces from queer author-directors like Pedro Almodóvar, François Ozon (Dans la maison, aka In the House), Apichatpong Weerasethakul (สัตว์ประหลาด, aka Sat Pralat; Tropical Malady; ลุงบุญมีระลึกชาติ, aka Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives), Tsai Ming-liang (河流, aka He Liu; The River), Gus Van Sant (Mala Noche; My Own Private Idaho; Milk)... - I can name so many of them!
Queer share
Next to our selection, we invite people from the community, especially ones who are active at the UT and in Enschede region, to choose movies close to their hearts and share their movies with some personal talks and introductions. It should be a good occasion to get to know fellows who share similar stories, troubles, confusions and ambitions, meanwhile having perhaps interesting experiences in getting to know themselves and finding their ways of life.
Queer now
When movies with prominent queer elements are scheduled in Concordia's own program, a special screening may be organized and included in the 'movie with pride' series next to the regular ones. The movie curator from Concordia will share with audience about how the movie connects to our queer/pride community.

But I'm A Cheerleader (1999), Jamie Babbit
This movie is selected by Exaltio, the lgbtq+ youth association of Enschede.
Megan is a typical all-American girl: a cheerleader with a boyfriend. But she's not too keen on kissing her boyfriend, and she's really close with her cheerleader friends. Plus, her locker is filled with pictures of girls. Her parents and friends jump to the conclusion that she's gay and send her to a "sexual redirection" school, where everyone openly embraces their homosexuality. Now, Megan has to figure out if she'll conform to expectations and become straight or follow her feelings for the beautiful Graham.

2023-10-10 Love, Simon
Queer classic - Screening as part of the Rainbow Days Enschede
Everyone deserves true love. But for seventeen-year-old Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) it is a little more complicated: he still has to tell his family and friends that he is homosexual and he does not know who the anonymous classmate is with whom he fell in love online. Solving both issues turns out to be hilarious, terrifying and turns his life upside down.
2023-09-12 Passages

Together with his British husband Martin, he lives in Paris, where he is working on his latest film. After a difficult day of shooting, he meets the pretty schoolteacher Agathe in a club, with whom he begins a love affair as impulsive as it is stormy - it is simultaneously the end of his marriage to Martin.

2023-06-13 Mommy

2023-05-09 Your Name
Queer share - trans/non-binary meeting group
This movie is picked by the trans/non-binary meeting group of Th!nk with Pride, they highlight the great music and beautiful animation. Also, they say the movie is "implicitly trans", join us for the viewing and let's discuss if you agree!
2023-04-11 Rafiki
Queer share - Britt
"A queer film from a nation where homosexuality is banned by law. That alone is enough reason to go see Rafiki. At the same time, Rafiki is not just a brave Kenyan film. The energetic and loving relationship of the main characters (despite all the difficulties they encounter) offers, as director Kahiu describes, a much-needed counterbalance to 'the single story', the idea that the African continent deserves above all pity. Conclusion: a must see, and then I haven’t even mentioned the upbeat soundtracks."
2023-03-14 Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Queer share - Tessa
"When you're observing me, who do you think I'm observing?” For this month’s Movie with Pride I wanted to select a movie by a lesbian director that celebrates the female gaze - and you will see plenty of gazes between the beautiful leads as their love blossoms on their little private island (literally and figuratively). Next to the love story, I also like Portrait of a Lady on Fire (original title: Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu) for the other, often untold, story about friendship and mentorship between women."
2023-02-14 God's Own Country
Queer share - Tom
“For valentine’s day, I wanted to share a movie that certainly has some romance in it, but is not too sappy or cheesy. God’s Own Country immediately came to my mind! It’s a story about two men, their ways of loving and caring, all set in a moody British landscape. I stumbled on this movie a while ago and was engaged all the way through, so much that I’d love watching it again with you. See you there!”
2022-12-13 The Handmaiden
Queer share - Nimisha
I chose this movie because it's one of those films which can make you feel good and bad at the same time. It is not your regular movie but it's also not the movie where you need to think too much. You would love the characters and hate them. And biggest of all, it's not queer focused but at the same time, can make you feel all queer instantly.
