4/6/2025
Selma is a Czech immigrant, a single mother working in a factory in rural America. Her salvation is passion for music, specifically, the all-singing, all-dancing numbers found in classic Hollywood musicals. Selma harbors a sad secret: she is losing her eyesight and her son Gene stands to suffer the same fate if she can't put away enough money to secure him an operation. When a desperate neighbor falsely accuses Selma of stealing his savings, the drama of her life escalates to a tragic finale.
Uncomfortable Brunch has built a dedicated following over the last 11 years by offering audiences in Orlando a rare opportunity to engage with difficult cinema in a communal setting—all while enjoying a great meal. Now, Tampa cinephiles will have the chance to experience this one-of-a-kind combination of discomfort and dining.
About Uncomfortable Brunch
Uncomfortable Brunch is a film series dedicated to screening cinema that challenges, disturbs, and provokes discussion. Originating in Orlando, it has become a staple for adventurous filmgoers looking to explore the extremes of the medium—over mimosas and breakfast tacos.
Founded by Joshua Martin in 2014, with Kat Whitacre joining in 2017, Uncomfortable Brunch was designed to have audiences engage with difficult art in an unconventional way that also takes some of the self-seriousness out of it all. These movies shouldn’t just be seen because a historian says they should. They should be seen because they will make you feel something, albeit not necessarily positive, and if we aren’t feeling things, then what are we living for?
