ALIGNED - A NEW FILM by Apollo Bakopoulos STREAMING OCT 29
The Queer Expression Film Fest has proudly brought the Chicago premiere of many outstanding queer films, including Eismayer, The Summer with Carmen, Horseplay, Sebastian, and many more. We are committed to showcasing diverse stories that resonate with the LGBTQ+ community.
We are thrilled to announce the screening of Aligned, a remarkable new film written and directed by Apollo Bakopoulos, on Tuesday, October 29, at 7:00 PM at Facets, 1517 W Fullerton.
In Aligned, two men from different worlds — one in Athens, the other in New York — discover that their connection transcends what they learn through their professional dance training. Though they share a cultural heritage, their lives are starkly different.
Alex's voyage from New York to Greece for a scholarship mirrors his feelings toward Aeneas—both foreign and familiar, comforting yet isolating. It’s a story of belonging, identity, and the unexpected ways we find connection.
Join us for this exciting premiere, followed by a special talk-back with Apollo Bakopoulos. Don’t miss this chance to engage with the filmmaker and delve deeper into the world of Aligned.
Written & Directed by Apollo Bakopoulos.
Starring Dimitris Fritzelas, Panos Malakos, Mantalena Papadatou, Anna Magou, Theodoris Panas, Yannis Adoniou.
