Join the Wellington Pride Festival for a fundraising screening of 'La Bola Negra' on 15 October at the Penthouse Cinema in Brooklyn.
LA BOLA NEGRA tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras - 1932, 1937, and 2017.
- Winner, Festival De Cannes: Best Director
- "A work of staggering genius" - Indiewire.com
- "Extraordinary" - Deadline
Starring Spanish music sensation Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. From Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis).
Ambrossi says "....For me, it’s part of the ongoing fight, it’s even a political decision. To have three openly gay men leading a major film, that’s still rare. Even today, many LGBTQ+ stories are told by straight actors. We wanted this film to truly be made by gay men, not just about them."
___Accessibility___

- The theatre is wheelchair accessible and wheelchair accessible bathrooms are available
