TELUS originals FLASHBACK (2024)

July 18, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm MDT

Theatre or Movie Event

Metro Cinema 8712 109 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
HIV Edmonton presents a screening of the new TELUS Originals feature documentary film, Flashback (2024) at the Metro Cinema.

Following the screening HIV Edmonton's Executive Director Catherine Broomfield will host a discussion panel with AIDS Network of Edmonton/HIV Edmonton founder Michael Phair, Queer Historian Ron Byers and from Tangerine Productions Film Director Peter Hays.

It was the Studio 54 of the Prairies, a club that owner John Reid vowed would be a safe place for ‘gay people and their friends.’ Flashback is the story of a defiant disco dance culture of sweat and sex and drugs and fashion.

Located in a conservative northern Canadian city often hostile to queer people, Flashback became a sensation on the international club circuit despite police raids, threats of violence and the scourge of AIDS.

Flashback is a ghost. But it comes alive again in the memories of the people who were there and the legends they left behind.

2024 Edmonton Queer History Month

October 1, 2024 @ 8:00 am - October 31, 2024 @ 11:30 pm MDT

Pride Gathering

City Of Edmonton #1, Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Queer History Month in Canada is a relatively recent initiative that aligns with global efforts to recognize and celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ history. Like similar movements in the U.S. and the U.K., the development of Queer History Month in Canada reflects the country’s unique history of 2SLGBTQ+ rights, activism, and social change.

Recently, Edmonton-based organization Rainbow Story Hub Foundation started the conversation of formalizing Queer History Month as a national observance across Canada.

In the meantime, there is growing community momentum to share these stories – including right here, in our city.
