No Man's Land with Rosie Turner + Q&A
This screening will be followed by a panel Q&A with Rosie Turner (Director & Presenter), Maxine Heron (Not a Phase) & Lucy Davidson (Chair).
Ticket and merchandise proceeds from the event will go towards supporting Not A Phase, a trans-led, nationwide charity committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans+ adults through awareness campaigning, social projects, and funding trans+ led initiatives.
Join Rosie Turner for the first screening of No Man’s Land, a ground-breaking new docu-series exploring what it means to live, love, and survive as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in regions where identity itself can be an act of defiance.
Told through dynamic “postcards” filmed around the world including Thailand, Finland and Brazil - the series captures queer life in all its colour, complexity and courage.
The series follows Rosie as she immerses herself in local communities.
Each episode explores a country with a complex and evolving relationship with queer rights, from underground love stories and chosen families to activists and allies quietly fighting for change. No Man’s Land reveals the resilience of queer individuals navigating systems designed to silence them.
This isn’t a polished travelogue - it’s raw journalism with a heartbeat, using filmmaking to capture both the unfiltered reality and surprisingly joyful portrait of global queer life.
This screening will feature the Brazil episode, alongside exclusive preview footage from upcoming episodes set in Thailand and Finland.
The Brazil episode explores the contradiction between Brazil’s vibrant queer culture and its ongoing violence and political tension surrounding LGBTQ+ rights.
Set across Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval preparations, Rosie investigates how a country celebrated globally for its queer visibility and Pride culture can simultaneously remain one of the most dangerous places in the world for trans people.
