We only want to grow together and learn from each other. Come join us!” (TOS)

April 18: AIM Book "The Words That Remain"
2024-04-18 14:00 - 15:30 | ON
Join us to discuss this fabulous book, which explores Brazil’s little-known hinterland as well as its urban haunts. This is a sweeping novel of repression, violence, and shame, along with their flip side: survival, endurance, and the ultimate triumph of an unforgettable figure on society’s margins. The Words That Remain explores the universal power of the written word and language and how they affect all our relationships.
“Stênio Gardel’s The Words That Remain is deceptively simple, heartbreakingly honest, and a compelling examination of intimacy in relationships that invites the reader to experience queer desire and survival through new perspectives. Bruna Dantas Lobato’s translation brings the text to life, capturing the yearning for social and personal autonomy through fragmented memories. When love and life fail, Gardel’s novel reminds us how language can be a form of resilience, offering us comfort and a path forward.”

May 23: AIM Movie - And Then We Danced
2024-05-23 13:00 - 16:00 | Kelly Library – St Michael’s College, 113 St Joseph St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
AIM Movie is held at the John M. Kelly Library, Rm 115, at the University of St. Michael’s College. Please join us for conversation afterwards.
2019, Written and directed by Levan Akin. 1hour, 53 minutes.
A passionate coming of age tale of love and liberation set amidst the conservative confines of modern Tbilisi, AND THEN WE DANCED follows Merab, a devoted dancer who has been training for years with his partner Mary for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. The arrival of another male dancer, Irakli, who is gifted with perfect form and equipped with a rebellious streak, throws Merab off balance, sparking both an intense rivalry and romantic desire that may cause him to risk his future in dance as well as his relationships with Mary and his family.
The film premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where it received a fifteen-minute standing ovation. It was one of the most favourably reviewed films out of Cannes that year. Screening of the film in Georgia sparked protests due to its portrayal of a gay love affair.
Thursday, May 23, 2024, 1 – 4 PM (EDT) – Please note that this is earlier than usual.
Location: Kelly Library, Rm 115, University of St. Michael’s College, 113 St Joseph Street, Toronto M5S 1J4
