    Gay Men's Book Group-Chicago is a free, open monthly book discussion group welcoming male-identified individuals of all ages who are interested in reading and discussing gay-related literature, both fiction and non-fiction. Books to be discussed are selected by the group and posted on their Facebook page and via their newsletter email.

    October's selection is In Memoriam by Alice Winn. In 1914, war feels far away to Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood. They're too young to enlist, and anyway, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle — an all‑consuming infatuation with the dreamy, poetic Ellwood — not having a clue that his best friend is in love with him, always has been.

    Join us at the Center on Halsted (2nd floor) for a freewheeling discussion of this thought-provoking book.

    Cabo Negro

    Join CPT members at Chicago International Film Festival for the premiere of CABO NEGRO.

    Moroccan friends Soundouss and Jaâfar arrive at a luxury villa in the resort town of Cabo Negro to await Jaâfar’s American lover, who is meant to join them there. The days go by, but the American doesn’t appear or answer Jaâfar’s calls. Left on their own in this place of transience, the villa becomes their refuge — but only for so long. As the harsh cultural and financial realities of life outside the villa creep in, the two friends seek out fleeting moments of connection with the other misfits of Cabo Negro. Profoundly subtle and rich, celebrated author Abdellah Taïa’s feature debut is an enchanting, tender ode to kinship and generosity between those pushed to the margins of society.

    Order tickets directly from the festival. The screening is on October 18 at 6:00 p.m. at Gene Siskel Film Center.

    ALIGNED - A NEW FILM by Apollo Bakopoulos STREAMING OCT 29

    The Queer Expression Film Fest has proudly brought the Chicago premiere of many outstanding queer films, including Eismayer, The Summer with Carmen, Horseplay, Sebastian, and many more. We are committed to showcasing diverse stories that resonate with the LGBTQ+ community.

    We are thrilled to announce the screening of Aligned,  a remarkable new film written and directed by Apollo Bakopoulos, on Tuesday, October 29, at 7:00 PM at Facets, 1517 W  Fullerton.

    In Aligned,  two men from different worlds — one in Athens, the other in New York —  discover that their connection transcends what they learn through their  professional dance training.  Though they share a cultural heritage,  their lives are starkly different.

    Alex's  voyage from New York to Greece for a scholarship mirrors his feelings  toward Aeneas—both foreign and familiar, comforting yet isolating. It’s a  story of belonging, identity, and the unexpected ways we find  connection.

    Join us for this exciting premiere, followed by a special talk-back with Apollo Bakopoulos. Don’t miss this chance to engage with the filmmaker  and delve deeper into the world of Aligned.

    Written & Directed by Apollo Bakopoulos.

    Starring Dimitris Fritzelas, Panos Malakos, Mantalena Papadatou, Anna Magou, Theodoris Panas, Yannis Adoniou.

    Order tickets for the film in advance here.

    Queer Expression Film Fest is sponsored by Open Space Arts.

    Get Ready for Dark Comedy with a Twist!

    Mercy Killing by Alandra Hileman, follows Mercy, a coffee shop barista with a secret: she’s also a serial killer. The only person in on her secret? Thana, the Grim Reaper, who’s also Mercy’s sort-of-girlfriend. Their relationship gets even more complicated when Mercy starts flirting with Angie, a true crime podcaster suspicious there’s a serial killer on the loose. Add Thana’s jealous ex, Harmon (also a Grim Reaper), and you’ve got a hilariously dark love triangle with life-and-death stakes!


    Chicago’s own Greta Zandstra, a director known for her creative storytelling, is leading the production, featuring a talented cast:

    • Stephanie Fongheiser as Mercy
    • Madeline Ackerlund as Thana
    • Lydia Hanman as Angie
    • Artem Kreimer as Harmon

    OSA's 20-seat theater guarantees an up-close experience with immersive storytelling that pulls you right into the action.

Matt Baume chronicles our lives playing out on the small screen in this most engrossing and entertaining tome.
