About the films 

Love Simon (PG Course Language): Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon it's complicated: no one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing. 

Tomboy (PG) is a 2011 French drama written and directed by Céline Sciamma. The story follows a 10-year-old gender non-conforming child, Laure, who moves to a new neighborhood during the summer holiday and experiments with their gender presentation, adopting the name Mickaël as they make friends with the local kids. 

Both films are open to all. Please note that Love Simon and Tomboy are rated PG, which means anyone under the age of 14 needs to be joined by an adult. People who are over the age 14 do not need parental guidance. There is no food or drink, including bottled water, inside the theatre. 

Pride Month programming is organized by the AGA Public Programmer, Michael Magnussen. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Michael.Magnussen@youraga.ca
