On Thursday, June 11th, Club Cafe will host a free, 21+ screening of Derek Jarman’s seminal 1993 film, BLUE.
The experimental film was released four months before Jarman lost his battle with AIDS. His illness left him partially blind in the final months of his life, only able to see shades of blue. This 79-minute film visually consists of an unchanging blue screen, accompanied by music and narration exploring illness, death, and life.

The screening will be held at the South Side music venue on June 11th, with doors at 7pm and the film screening at 8pm. Local filmmaker Cullen J. Sanchez will host the screening.

In lieu of admission charges, Club Cafe will be accepting donations for Allies Pittsburgh, a local well-being center that provides HIV testing, treatment, and therapy to the community. Donations are not required; the screening is free to the public.
