Queer Cinema Club x MUBI Present: the Canadian Premiere of Rotting in the Sun

On August 31st, we are teaming with up with MUBI to host the Canadian premiere of Sebastián Silva’s Rotting in the Sun!

Sun stars Silva as a heightened version of himself who spends his days taking copious amounts of ketamine while researching painless ways to kill himself as his maid (Catalina Saavedra) cleans up around him. Things take takes a turn when Silva runs into social media influencer Jordan Firstman — also playing himself — at a queer nude beach in Mexico, and then takes quite another when Silva goes missing (which his maid may or may not have had something to do with), leaving Firstman on a mission to find him.

A biting satire of class, queer culture and filmmaking itself, Rotting in the Sun is the late summer, graphic gay sex-heavy delight we've all been waiting for.  What’s more: Silva and Firstman will be joining after the screening for virtual Q&A! Tickets are now available here (and going fast). And sorry kids, you must be 18 years of age to attend.
