BRIGHTON BANDITS DOCUMENTARY FILM (20/11/2007)
A documentary about BRIGHTON BANDITS FC by director Ian McDonald will be shown on Sunday 2 December at 7pm in the Sallis Benney Theatre, University of Brighton, as part of the CINECITY Brighton Film Festival. Tickets are £3 on the door and the 40 minute film will be followed by a Q&A with a panel of speakers organised by the Brighton and Sussex Sexualities Network. Click here for full details.
"Brighton Bandits is the first ever in-depth documentary about a gay football team. It debunks the myth that gay men don’t play football. The Bandits were crowned Gay Football League Champions in 2006. In following the team’s quest to retain their title, Brighton Bandits not only captures the passion for football in the gay community but also allows the players to emerge as people with bold and poignant stories to tell. They also raise issues that trouble them from the camp hedonism of the gay scene to the future of a Gay Football League. Sprinkled with humour and pathos, this engaging documentary moves rhythmically between thought-provoking views to football action. With no commentary and no musical score in the film, the voices of the players and the sounds of the pitch keep it raw and real."
