The Discovery Film Series, sponsored by the Rossmoor LGBTQ+ Alliance, provides opportunities to view movies featuring LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or storylines, ranging from mainstream dramas to indie comedies or coming-of-age tales, often exploring love, identity, acceptance, societal challenges, or simply existing authentically, serving both LGBTQ+ audiences and broader cinephiles interested in diverse human experiences. 

Every month, on the 1st Tuesday, we come together to view selected films. See our Event Calendar and Events List for more details about upcoming films.
