Flamingos on the Field

United States (2023) - Director: Keno'e Mullings

WORLD PREMIERE

Flamingos on the Field takes an inside, and on field, look at a rugby team out of Baltimore, Maryland, who six years after their official formation, won 1st place at the Bingham Cup tournament -- an International Gay Rugby Tournament held every 2 years in a new country.

The film follows two players Val Pizzo and 1st LT Malik Jones and their head coach Kirk Wiggins.

The film illuminates the love and connections that queer rugby has created in a tough city, the challenges a team like this can face, and the triumphs that have been overcome and have won the hearts of Baltimoreans.

Wonders

United States (2023) - Director: Huriyyah Muhammad

MID-ATLANTIC PREMIERE

Hardworking moms, Teeni and Cherice don’t ask for much. Like everyone else, they are on the grind, just trying to make a better life for themselves and their toddler. Struggling financially, things get worse when they come home to find an eviction notice plastered on their door. 

While WONDERS is a response to the eviction crisis across the country, at its heart is a celebration of the wisdom of our elders and the magic of our babies. It speaks to community, personal power and legacy presented with humor and imagination.
