Sebastian + Filmmakers Q&A

A secret double-life becomes a source of liberation and transformation in SEBASTIAN writer/director Mikko Makela’s intriguing exploration of sex, identity, restraint and abandon. Max, a struggling young writer, creates a new identity for himself as a sex worker: Sebastian. Opening himself up to a previously unexplored world, Max suddenly finds himself unburdened by expectations and invigorated by possibility. But soon he must decide where Max ends and Sebastian begins… Featuring a fearless and powerful performance from Ruaridh Mollica that takes Max’s journey of self-identity through ecstasy, shame, and exhilarating liberation, SEBASTIAN is a compelling exploration of the transgressive power of queer sexuality and the transformative impact that can result from embracing a new identity. The screening will be followed by a live-on-stage Q&A with director Mikko Makela and producer James WatsonPT1H50M182025-04-03
