Open Space Arts invites you to join us for our next Queer Expression Film Fest screening at FACETS Film Forum, part of our ongoing Gay Movie of the Month series.
While cycling along the Danube with his family, 16-year-old Didac encounters a mysterious boy in the river. This unexpected meeting alters the course of their journey, stirring hidden tensions and shifting the family dynamic in subtle but profound ways. Beautifully shot and quietly mesmerizing, ESTRANY RIU unfolds as a tender, poetic coming-of-age story—an atmospheric exploration of adolescence, desire, and the fragile bonds that hold a family together.
ESTRANY RIU (Strange River) is primarily in Catalan, with additional dialogue in German and will be shown with English subtitles.
These monthly screenings celebrate bold, intimate, and internationally acclaimed queer cinema, bringing powerful stories to the big screen while creating space for conversation, community, and connection. Each program is thoughtfully curated to showcase filmmakers whose work explores identity, desire, and human connection with honesty and artistry.
Screenings take place on the final Monday of each month at 7:00 PM at FACETS Film Forum (1517 West Fullerton).
We often choose a nearby spot to gather for a casual, informal dinner before the screening, so keep your options open and watch for those details as the date approaches.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of compelling queer storytelling and shared cinematic experience.
