Watermelon Woman

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cheryl Dunye’s groundbreaking 1996 film — a landmark exploration of Black lesbian identity, love, and history. This screening is part of the Feast Festival’s 2026 lineup, offering a chance to revisit a vital, fiercely personal story that still resonates today.

Perfect for film lovers, queer historians, and anyone curious about the roots of queer cinema, this event invites you to settle in for a screening that’s equal parts intimate, bold, and beautifully human. Expect laughter, reflection, and maybe a few tears — this one’s a keeper.

Accessibility: wheelchair accessible, seated. Content notes: contains alcohol use, sexual references, homophobia, racism, strong language, and nudity. Viewer discretion is advised.

Get ready to be reminded why Watermelon Woman remains a touchstone in LGBTQIA+ cinema — and why we’re still talking about it, three decades on.
