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.
Open Space Arts presents the Chicago premiere of SUMMER’S CAMERA, a tender South Korean coming-of-age romance about first love, grief, photography, and the secrets we inherit from the people we love.
After the death of her father, high school student Summer discovers one of his old cameras and begins using it to document her first year of school. Her lens soon turns toward Yeon-woo, the star of the school’s soccer team, and Summer’s shy crush opens the door to a new understanding of herself. But when she develops the unfinished roll left behind in her father’s camera, Summer uncovers a hidden piece of his life—one that reshapes her own journey into queer identity, memory, and love.
Written and directed by Divine Sung, SUMMER’S CAMERA premiered at BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival and has been praised as a dreamy, beautifully shot queer coming-of-age drama.

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.
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.
