Description

SPECTRUM and the Queer Night Out Waterloo Region are pleased to partner with Apollo Cinema to present the Rainbow Film Club! Join us each month for a classic of queer cinema. You can also join SPECTRUM and the QNO Waterloo Region for a Queer Night Out discussion group in the week following each screening to discuss the film. 


William Friedkin’s (The Exorcist, The French Connection) controversial film stars Al Pacino as a rookie cop who is sent undercover in New York’s S/M districts to trap a serial killer, targeting gay men, particularly those men associated with the leather scene in the late 1970s.

Films screened as part of the Rainbow Film Club are drawn from suggestions from community members/online lists of "notable classic queer films." Many films may contain outdated & problematic language or themes that can be disturbing to some audience members. We encourage those considering attending film screenings to conduct their own independent research.
