CINEMAROSA was created as an independent initiative by filmmaker and artist, Hector Canonge. After its short run at a community house in Woodside, Queens, Canonge reached out to the Queens Museum of Art where CINEMAROSA has been hosted since 2005. After seven years of consecutive screenings, Canonge explains that “CINEMAROSA is as strong as ever because there is a need to provide this type of service for the Queer community of Queens and NYC at large.” The monthly free screening program has featured local, national and international filmmakers whose works best reflect the diversity of lives in experiences in the LGBT community. Canonge adds that “through CINEMAROSA and its hosting institution, the Queens Museum, it has been possible to create a safe LGBT cultural hub in Queens where audiences, artists, filmmakers, and representatives from other LGBT organizations come together and share their visions, views and ideas.”
FREE ADMISSION but RSVP is recommended: info@cinemarosa.org |
