In anticipation of the 22nd annual film + music festival happening November 10-14, Sound Unseen will offer a one-day mini marathon fundraiser. Included in this event are two films that were previously screened virtually at the 21st annual festival (Queens of the Revolution & Dinner in America) and a SECRET SNEAK PEEK preview of a film that will be part of the upcoming festival in November.
Admission covers the cost of all three films; come for one or all three.
One price for the whole shebang!
Specific times for each screening will be made available prior to the event.
Queens Of The Revolution (Minnesota in-person premier) is a portrait of Mejunje, a cultural center in Santa Clara that paved the road for LGBTQ+ rights in Cuba. The film highlights the bravery of people who have fought for their lives and identities for decades. Meandering through the streets of Santa Clara, into the homes of drag performers and on to the stage, the film tells the story of Mejunje through a chorus of voices. This community was violently persecuted but instead of fleeing, they chose to stay and fight for change in the country they love.

Dinner in America is a coming-of-age dark comedy about two misfits who find each other through music and chaos. Simon is a punk rocker with a knack for starting fires and the cops hot on his trail. Patty is—at best, ignored, and at worst, tormented, by the world around her—with little to no hope for a more positive future. The only thing she cares about is PSYOPS, an underground band that Simon just so happens to lead. When they accidentally meet, the two go on an epic journey together through America’s decaying midwestern suburbs, only to find that sometimes it’s nearly impossible to get a decent dinner in America.
