In Episode 2 of Art Imitates Life I'm joined from Sintra, Portugal by my friend Jasmim Bettencourt, a fellow Instagram film critic and aspiring filmmaker. For Pride month, we decide to discuss all things LGBT cinema and talk about the #QueeringCinema Instagram event that Jasmim set up. The films we discuss are: Weekend (2011, dir. Andrew Haigh); Love, Simon (2018, dir. Greg Berlanti); Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019, dir. Celine Sciamma); Moonlight (2016, dir. Barry Jenkins); and also the works of Derek Jarman and Kenneth Anger.
