Run It Back

Celebrating the iconic and groundbreaking queer films that shaped our history and paved the way for today’s queer cinema.

Introducing Run It Back

Introducing Run It Back, Inside Out’s 2025 retro screening series at Paradise Theatre, where we hit pause on the present to celebrate the iconic and groundbreaking queer films that shaped our history and paved the way for today’s queer cinema.

In the lead-up to our 35th anniversary in 2025, Inside Out’s programming team has curated a selection of iconic queer films that challenged the industry and redefined their moment.

A vintage-style photo shows a crowd gathered outside a theater with a marquee that reads "Welcome to Paradise." Text on the image says "Inside Out" and "Run It Back" in the upper left corner.

Financial support for Run It Back has been provided through the Pride and Remembrance Run
