The August 25th show will be a regular film screening.
Gearing up for our next Metro screening! Monday, September 16th @6:45 pm… save the date for when we present another special screening of the new TELUS Originals feature documentary film, Flashback (2024) at the Metro Cinema.
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

This revue of talented amateur and experienced performers is for Orange Shirt Day and benefits Edmonton 2Spirit Society.
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.

Welcome to Pride Week 2025!
The march is the annual kick-off to Pride Week. This year, every post-secondary institution in Edmonton will be marching across our campuses at the same time. We encourage the MacEwan community to gather representing their work areas, clubs, teams, or groups to join as we march across campus. This march is an act of celebration and solidarity with the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Show your support and pride by grabbing a sign, representing your community, and marching across campus.
We will start in Griffins Landing (gathering at 11:30 a.m. and marching at noon) and walk across the pedway to Allard Hall for opening remarks. Opening remarks from campus leaders will be shared.
All are encouraged to attend. ASL interpretation will be provided at the opening ceremonies.
