CONTENT WARNING:
After 42 years, feisty and delightful lesbian couple Edie and Thea are finally getting married. From the early ’60s to the present day, the tireless community activists persevere through many battles, both personal and political. These two compassionate and brave women are a model of courage and strenght that speaks to everyone, of any age. Through this film audiences will recognize that dancing, like loving, can continue at any age, and rediscover the timeless message “don't postpone joy.” Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir (The Brandon Teena Story) return with a love story of two remarkable women whose commitment to each other is an inspiration to us all. Directors will be in attendance.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Join us for two of the most astounding explorations of people in our community: Edie and Thea and Vicki Marlene. These two documentaries detail the trials and tribulations of unapologetically being who you are in an age when many had to hide. Directors of both films will be in attendance.

Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride

FREE

with Iguales

Thu, May 06 @ 7:30 pm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Director Bob Christie in person
In honor of the 40th anniversary of Boston Pride we are opening the 2010 Boston LGBT Film Festival with Bob Christie's stunning documentary on Pride across the globe Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride.
Gay Pride marches and festivals are happening all over the world sometimes under heavy opposition and violence. This feature length documentary follows the Vancouver Pride Society’s (VPS) Parade Director Ken Coolen and his VPS colleagues as they travel to places where Pride is still steeped in protest to personally experience the rampant homophobia that still exists. They also travel to São Paulo, Brazil for the world’s largest gay parade and New York City, the birthplace of the modern gay liberation movement. Increasingly the Pride movement is globalizing. Coolen and many Pride organizers in North America and Europe, where celebration has overtaken political action, strive to remind their communities that Pride is at its heart a global fight for human rights. Despite the hundreds of thousands of people cheering in the streets, Pride is much, much more than a parade and a party. It is a giant step on the road to true equality. The GLBT community during Pride is an entertaining and engaging multi- ethnic group than can bring attention to the issue of human rights with diversity, insight, and of course plenty of fabulousness. Director in attendance Thursday, May 6th, 7:30 PM MFA
