Limited Series: Committee for Gender Awareness and Empowerment

The Cinema Arts Centre Committee for Gender Awareness and Empowerment is dedicated to serving our entire community through inclusive programs and resources that educate, elevate, celebrate, and mobilize in support of transgender, non-binary, intersex individuals, and people of all genders. We believe that a society that recognizes the existence, dignity, and rights of all gender identities is one in which everyone is safer and more free.

We are presenting a special limited series for Fall 2025, featuring film screenings with discussions, live music, local artists, educational sessions, panel conversations, parties, and celebrations—all taking place right here at the Cinema Arts Centre. See detals below.
