For this special Reel to Real Cinema evening, we will be heading across to our friends at the RBC Film Theatre for a screening of HOUSE OF GLOSS, an intimate and affectionate portrait of a queer trans femme couple — Opal, a drag queen, and Lana, a DJ & graffiti writer, created by D&G based filmmaker and sound artist Mark Lyken. After the film we will be joined by Mark for a Q&A style discussion. Please note the Stove café will not be open for this event!

About Reel to Real:
Reel to Real Cinema is a monthly film space in the Stove Café. Featuring an eclectic mixture of conversational films – from artist made shorts to feature length documentaries, locally made to international cinema, Reel to Real is a space for discussion and thought-provoking films, you are welcome to join us after the film for a short discussion about the themes from this month’s selection.
Screening in association with Dumfries Fairtrade in recognition of World Fairtrade Day. Followed by informal Q&A.
When a massive Chinese factory complex in rural Ethiopia plans an ambitious expansion to a second site, the realities of industrialisation are pulled into focus.
Made in Ethiopia takes a panoramic view, following three women involved in the project from polar perspectives: Motto, the formidable businesswoman in charge of the expansion project, factory worker Beti who has staked her future on the work opportunities the factory provides, and farmer Workinesh, whose land has been earmarked for the new industrial park.
Filmed over four years, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound change.
