Film Synopsis: Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis. Its plot revolves around a production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet by a prestigious New York City company. The production requires a ballerina to play both the innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. One dancer, Nina (Portman), is a perfect fit for the White Swan, while Lily (Kunis) has a personality that matches the Black Swan. When the two compete for the parts, Nina must confront parts of herself long kept repressed, including her own sexuality.

**Winner of Academy Award for Best Actress (Portman)

Film Synopsis: Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) are a married lesbian couple living in California. They have each given birth to a child using the same anonymous sperm donor. Nic, an obstetrician, is the primary breadwinner and the stricter parent, while Jules is more laid back and lives as a housewife who is starting up a landscape design business.

The younger child Laser (Josh Hutcherson) is eager to find his biological father, but has to be 18 to find the identity of the sperm donor. He begs his 18-year-old sister Joni (Mia Wasikowska) to contact the sperm bank in order to meet their biological father, Paul (Mark Ruffalo). The first meeting goes well. Find out what happens then this Saturday, 3pm!

Being young and queer in India can be tricky. You often feel left out in your circle of friends. You struggle to come out. You pore over numerous google searches to find that iota of information which will give you a sense of identification and belonging. Ever since our first public meeting on June 12 this year, we have seen participation from many people- people from the entire spectrum of LGBTIQ(age no bar!), students studying in Delhi, youth who work and of late, people who are from a less privileged background. We've participated as a group in public LGBT events including July 2nd celebration, Delhi pride parade and Nigah Queer Fest.

It has been a mosaic of ideas, fun, heartwarming life stories and most importantly, hope - a hope for the queer community and especially for queer youth out there! A hope that says out, loud and proud- here, in India, it is getting better!

Join us to make it better!
