Mr. Gay Syria| Turkey, France & Germany | 84 mins | 2017, Ayse Toprak

Mr. Gay Syria follows two gay Syrian refugees who are trying to rebuild their lives. Husein is a barber in Istanbul living a double life between his conservative family and his gay identity. Mahmoud is the founder of Syria’s LGBTI movement and is a refugee in Berlin. What brings them together is a dream: to participate in an international beauty contest as an escape from their trapped lives and an answer to their invisibility. Will the dream come true or will the refugee crisis and the harsh consequences of being gay in the Muslim world shatter it to pieces?

No bar on site - please feel free to bring your own drinks. There will be a panel after the screening. All Last Frame events are 18+ unless specified.

There will be a panel discussion after the film hosted by Last Frame Club. Speakers: Leila Zadeh (UK Lesbian & Gay Immigration Group), Carine Koleilat (Lebanese Filmmaker) & Gsus Lopez (Filmmaker who works with LGBT themes).
