Pink Wednesdays – “Gay cinema night”

Posted on Apr 10, 2006

I have some gay friends who would rather use Colgate shampoo than be seen at a “gay” movie night (you know who you are), however, i have others who will manipulate this occassion into a “be seen at” cruise (watch my eyes).

rds, Cinema Nouveaux around the country will be screening a so-called “Gay” movie every Wednesday night. Here’s their explanation:

The art-house cinemas of Ster Kinekor – South Africa’s largest film theatre chain – Cinema Nouveau will be meeting the seemingly insatiable desire for great gay movies every Wednesday from 12 April 2006. “Pink Wednesdays” will see a memorable gay or lesbian themed film shown weekly at Cinema Nouveau.

Inspired by the remarkable growth of Out In Africa – the most successful film festival in the country; last year boasting an attendance of 18 000 – Pink Wednesdays target the ardent gay and lesbian film-going audience. (A survey by Mambaonline has shown that an astonishing 49% of respondents had seen a movie in the last week.)
