REELS ON WHEELS
Reels on Wheels
REELS ON WHEELS is a new initiative of Fairy Tales that is geared towards the exhibition of films to organizations in the Calgary area that are interested in GLBTTQ issue education. It is also a project that strives to increase the visibility of queer films and artists in areas that lack accessibility to GLBTTQ work.
[See bottom of page for UPCOMING SCREENINGS]
Why?
Our mission is to promote diversity education and help build the foundation for safe and supportive environments. We are here to not only educate and further awareness on GLBTTQ issues, but also to generate discussion that will stimulate, inspire and foster compassion and understanding. Too often, people are marginalized because of differences.
This is an exciting opportunity to create a disarming environment that pairs education and entertainment.
What will ROW do?
- Reels on Wheels can help to identify the GLBTTQ educational issues that your organization would benefit from.
- ROW will then help determine a film that would stimulate discussion on that issue.
- ROW will provide the film and all necessary equipment for the screening.
- ROW will work with you to program a post-film discussion either with a guest speaker or a discussion facilitator.
What will you do?
- Provide the venue for screening.
- Publicize the event.
- Liaise with ROW Project Coordinators on all other components of the screening.
