Presented by Reclaim the Frame and Leicester Queer Film Club, this tender story of first love, belonging and growing up follows neighbours Jamie and Ste as their friendship deepens into romance over the course of one long, hot summer.

Adapted from Jonathan Harvey’s acclaimed play, Beautiful Thing transforms the familiar landscape of a council housing estate into a world alive with warmth, wit and bold primary colours, casting everyday life in a new light. Thirty years on, it's a joy to discover, or rediscover, this much-loved but underseen film.

Reclaim The Frame's anniversary celebration of Beautiful Thing forms part of the Film Audience Network's Rip It Up season, with support from the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding, and from Film4.
