Films
Never Mind The Gap (dir. Angel Daden / Georgina Madison) - a documentary that intercuts animation with a discussion on bisexuality, followed by a vox pop on the streets of Soho where people were asked to respond to a word beginning with ‘b’ on camera.

Transgressions (dir. Angel Daden) is inspired by bisexuality and works with intangible identity by locating it within objects and a domestic environment. A visually dynamic film that aims at challenging preconceptions and reminding you there are more than two waysof looking at sexuality.

The Other Other (dir. Anna Maria Staiano) features interviews with people like Peter Tatchell and Jeremy Joseph of G.A.Y. at the time London’s pride festival changed its name to include bi and trans people. It questions the myths and prejudices created by a fictitious polarisation of hetero and homo sexuality, and reclaims biusexuality as a valid sexuality in its own right.

Finally we have Manchester’s first screening of a new bi community film from London about the joys and fears of attending a bi social group for the first time.
