4/6/2025
Uncomfortable Brunch, the notorious film series that pairs thought-provoking, transgressive cinema with a delightful brunch, is making its way to Tampa. Beginning Sunday, April 6, 2025, Sun-Ray Cinema will begin hosting the series, bringing the uniquely unsettling experience to a new, wider audience. Screenings starting in May will be the first Saturday of each month
The Tampa debut will feature Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), Pier Paolo Pasolini’s harrowing adaptation of the Marquis de Sade’s infamous work. Known for its unflinching brutality and political allegory, Salò remains one of the most controversial films ever made—an appropriately jarring entry for Uncomfortable Brunch’s Tampa launch, as it was the first film shown for UB in a living room for a dozen or so very unsettled people
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?
