Winter film series 2021

With COVID-19 limiting how our community gathers together, the New Bedford LGBTQ Winter Film Series provides us with an opportunity to connect over our mutual passion for movies. Thanks to funding and support provided by Mass Humanities, the New Bedford Winter Film Series was a virtual event in 2021, with fans screening the films in advance and then participating in a panel discussion of the movies and the messages on Zoom. For information on upcoming events, follow the New Bedford LGBTQ Winter Film Series on social media.
