The lesbian film event will kick off at 6:30 p.m. with a set by Forest City rocker, Sarah Smith, before the slate of movies unspools.
“Attendees can enjoy the performance safely from their own vehicles, broadcast on the big screen and over the drive-in radio,” festival organizers said.
Tickets go for $35 a vehicle with no cap on the number of occupants in each car. Tickets can be purchased online at llff.ca. The Oxford Drive-In is located at 684471 68th Road in Zorra.
“We recommend dressing warmly and perhaps bringing a blanket because the nights are getting chilly,” organizers warned on the fest’s website. “Please bring a mask and sanitizer to use in public areas.”
Leashed dogs also are welcome.
Visitors can bring a lawn chair, as long as they distance themselves from others.
The feature film for the evening is a New Zealand production called Same But Different directed by filmmaker Nikki Si’ulepa.
I Know Her and After You Left, both American short films, are also on the bill.
The festival follows in the footsteps of other local events that have shifted to a drive-in model in the age of the coronavirus. At the beginning of August, for example, music-starved blues lovers drove to the Purple Hill Country Opry near Thorndale to see a lineup of acts that included Thundermug’s Bill Durst from the safety of their sedans, pickups and Volkswagen camper vans.
The London Lesbian Film Festival is a registered not-for-profit that, in the words of organizers, “aims to portray the richness and diversity of lesbian experiences and to strengthen our communities.”
