Reel Affirmations Film Festival Screening of Spectrum Shorts

Join us for one of our Short Film Showcases!!! "Spectrum Shorts: Gender, Identity and Aging" Dir: Various | 101 mins | Brazil, South Africa, UK and USA with some subtitles This short film program traverses the globe to share stories by and about those of us who don’t fit neatly into conventional ideas of gender, aging or identity. To assemble a program that highlights nearly every hue of the LGBTQ spectrum, we drew inspiration from the moving Brazilian short Places of Fear and Hatred; and from sexagenarian gay country singer-songwriter Patrick Haggerty, proudly “singing old songs to old people” in the delightful doc These C*cksucking Tears; from the tender slow-burn of two strangers finding common ground in Dawn; from Frances Reed, the enterprising and gender non-conforming subject of malefemale; and from the square dancers of Partners, and the seniors supporting one another in An Afternoon Knows; from an elegant lady out on the town in First Night Out, and the enduring love and partnership of Cecil & Carl. We hope you too will find insight and inspiration here.
