Out-N-About Walk* - Belfast Pride Event

Sunday, 27th July, 1p.m., Shaw's Bridge, Lagan Valley Regional Park

 

Out-n-About's next walk, to take place during Belfast Pride, will be held in Lagan Valley Regional Park. The walk starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday 27th July.

This will not be a difficult walk.

However, the path may be mucky in places so it is still recommended that you wear decent walking boots. You should also bring a lunch with you.

If you'd like more details, contact Neil at out_n_about_ni@yahoo.co.uk.

Neil, the organiser of Out N About, is currently looking for someone willing to help out with the planning, recce-ing and leadership of new walking events. It would probably involve an informal planning meeting once every few months, obviously in addition to assistance at the walks themselves.  Interested? Contact Neil at out_n_about_ni@yahoo.co.uk.

PRIDE FILM FESTIVAL: The Wolves of Kromer (1999)

Sunday 27th July, Catalyst Arts, North Street Arcade, 8pm

Starring: James Layton and Lee Williams. Narration by Boy George. Directed by: Will Gould

In a small village there were once a couple of young beasts that fell in love with one another. However, as in all macabre love stories there is a mob that has been blinded by the emotional and moral confusion that has been created by an evil force. The question is whether the beasts will be able to live their life and love each other, or if they will be murdered in the end.

Lesbian Line presents: It's in the Water (1998)

Tuesday 29th July, Catalyst Arts, North Street Arcade, 8.30pm for 9.00pm

Starring: Keri Jo Chapman, Barbara Lasater Directed by: Kelli Herd

Azalea Springs is a white Texan paradise only a short limo-ride from Peyton Place and Stepford. Everyone is rich, the men are rugged and the women have big hair. Yet scrape a perfectly manicured fingernail over the veneer and underneath lies a seething hot-bed of lesbianism and homosexuality. Then at a charity do, a rumour spreads that there's something in the water that turns people queer.

PRIDE FILM FESTIVAL: The Trio (1999)

Wednesday 30th July, Catalyst Arts, North Street Arcade, 8pm

Starring: Gotz George, Christian Redl, Jeanette Hain, Felix Eitner, Angelika Bartsch

Directed by: Hermine Huntgeburth

It’s an odd rule: "No exchanging of bodily fluids within the team," but then it’s an odd team. Professional con artists Zorbel and his daughter Lizzie have a vacancy for an able pick pocket. Enter the very amiable Rudolf: it’s a shame that he’s a crap thief, it’s a shame that he’s so handsome, but then you can’t have everything or can you?

German, with English subtitles.
