Painting the Spectrum 10, showcases the Caribbean in its final week with four regional films and closes with ‘Spectrum Night’ where its open mic encourages contributions of song, poetry, music and even dance.
On Tuesday, two films will be shown. The first, Sade’s Story, is a SASOD-produced documentary short, which chronicles the experiences of transgender Guyanese fashion designer, Sade Richardson.
The second is The Abominable Crime, a documentary that explores the culture of homophobia in Jamaica through the eyes of gay Jamaicans 
who are forced to choose between their homeland and their lives after their sexual orientations are exposed.
On Thursday, Spectrum Night, another documentary short produced by SASOD, Jessica’s Journey, will be shown. The film highlights experiences of discrimination, violence and the struggle for acceptance by a Guyanese trans-woman who eventually left for the United Kingdom because she did not feel safe in Guyana.
The feature film Antiman tells the story of a young boy who must prove his masculinity to his father, while he pines for a young man in the homophobic Guyanese countryside. Antiman is a film about self-discovery and masculinity.
Following the films, the stage will be open to persons wishing to showcase their talents.
