GLO Movie Night: Desert Hearts (1985)
Join us for our quarterly GLO Center Movie Night event on Saturday, August 23rd at 4:00 PM at Moxie Cinema, featuring a special screening of the film Desert Hearts (1985).
Set amid Reno’s dusty casinos and divorce “dude ranches” in 1959, Desert Hearts follows a button-down East-Coast professor who, during her six-week wait for a quick Nevada divorce, strikes up an unexpected friendship with a free-spirited local woman. Their growing bond unfolds into one of the screen’s earliest, truly affirming lesbian romances—portrayed with warmth rather than tragedy—making the film a landmark of queer cinema and a perfect feel-good pick for The GLO Center’s movie night.
🗣️ Pre-Movie Discussion: Before the movie, there will be a brief lead-in discussion to explore the film's themes and its relevance today.
📖 There will be a book drawing either before or after the movie. The book for the drawing "Desert of the Heart" by Jane Rule is what the movie is based off of.
🎟️ Admission: FREE
🎟️ Tickets: Available at moxiecinema.com or at the Box Office. Tickets are first come, first serve.
This event is brought to you by The GLO Center as part of our mission to foster connection and celebrate LGBTQ+ stories. We hope to see you there!
