Decadent Film Club

The Decadent Film Club is dedicated to screening important and unusual movies from around the world, in particular films that go against the grain, that are questioning, colourful, luscious and queer. These are films which will entertain, stimulate curiosity, provoke discussion, and expand horizons.
