Pride! A Rainbow in Your Cloud offers a diverse lineup of films and events to celebrate Stockholm Pride. Starting at 12:00, "Barnens Pride" features the classic musical "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), directed by Victor Flemming. This enchanting tale follows Dorothy, played by gay icon Judy Garland, as a tornado whisks her away to the magical land of Oz. Despite the wonders around her, Dorothy yearns to return home, embarking on a journey with her friends to find the powerful Wizard of Oz and defeat the Wicked Witch of the West. The film, suitable for ages 7 and up, beautifully explores the theme of discovering home.

At 14:00, "Pride ungdom" presents "Tomboy" (2011), a coming-of-age film directed by Céline Sciamma. This award-winning French film tells the story of a ten-year-old girl who, upon moving to a new area, is mistaken for a boy and decides to play along, leading to reflections on gender and identity. Following this, at 16:00, "Pride klassiker" screens "Teorema" (1968), a dramatic Italian film by Pier Paolo Pasolini. This enigmatic tale features a mysterious stranger who seduces every member of a wealthy family, leaving them forever changed.

The evening continues with the Scandinavian premiere of Bruce LaBruce's "The Visitor" (2024) at 18:00, a dramedy inspired by "Teorema," followed by Aspen's Quiz i bistron at 18:30, a Pride-themed quiz hosted by John. The night concludes with the Pride premiär of "Love Lies Bleeding" (2024) at 20:00, a thrilling film by Rose Glass about a reclusive gym owner who falls for a dreamy bodybuilder, blending romcom and noir in a neon-drenched 80s setting. Aspen is open from 11:00 to 22:00, offering a full day of celebration and entertainment.
