Pride på Aspen: Kokomo City & Love Lies Bleeding
Aspen Pride! A Rainbow in Your Cloud continues its celebration with two compelling film screenings. At 18:00, the documentary "Kokomo City," directed by D. Smith, takes center stage. This 2023 film offers an intimate and unflinching look into the lives of four Black transgender sex workers in New York and Georgia. Through their candid stories, the film explores themes of joy, sorrow, depth, superficiality, and reflections on identity and belonging within the Black community and society at large. "Kokomo City" has received critical acclaim and audience awards at both the Sundance and Berlin film festivals.
Following this, at 20:00, is the Pride premiere of "Love Lies Bleeding," a 2024 thriller directed by Rose Glass. This film features a reclusive gym owner with a dark family history who becomes infatuated with a dreamy bodybuilder. The film blends elements of romcom, thriller, and bodybuilder noir, set against a neon-drenched 80s backdrop. Known for her visionary work in "Saint Maud," Rose Glass delivers a tense and visually striking film that delves into the intense and often dark intersections of love and obsession. Bio Aspen will be open from 13:00 to 22:00, ensuring a full day of engaging Pride activities and entertainment.
