Salome, Salome, Salome was so moving, how beautiful is to share the love for great films. All those conversations around doing an endless run of Salome that would explore the many and varied versions and adaptations of the play and the myth filled us with energy and inspiration.

Many things to our incredible guest speakers jaye🖤hudson and for helping us see through the veils. 🤍

Thanks to everyone who came to discover a new Salome —and now has hunger for more. ✨
