INCLINATIONS Film Club returns with a story of Queer Tango dancers in St. Petersburg, dancing in the face of prejudice in the hope of greater acceptance for the LGBTQI+ community.

The Queer Tango movement takes the popular dance and reinterprets it as both a provocation and celebration. Otar and Misha are members of this international community who challenge the conventions of traditional tango. The film documents two years in the life of this gay couple before their emigration. On their journey they are embraced by queer tango dancers across Europe.

Organised in association with Rebel Tango, Glasgow's own queer tango project. Preceded by dancing and followed by a discussion and Q&A with the filmmakers and some of the dancers featured in the film.
