Especially relevant considering the current debate surrounding “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Out of Annapolis is a riveting look at the lives of some of the U.S. Naval Academy’s lesbian and gay alumni.

Out of Annapolis is a riveting look at the lives of some of the U.S. Naval Academy’s lesbian and gay alumni. The documentary tells the stories of eleven former sailors and Marines who attended Annapolis in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Through candid interviews, these former midshipmen discuss the reasons why they entered the Naval Academy (most wanted to serve their country and get an Ivy League-quality education) and the struggles they faced both while students and once they entered the fleet.

Another stunning bio-pic to continue our focus on films from the United Kingdom. Created to celebrate the centenary of Du Maurier and based on the acclaimed biography by Margaret Forster, Daphne charts the story of du Maurier's unrequited passion and shows how her inner struggles with her sexuality informed the writing of her compelling stories. The 90-minute drama focuses on the most emotionally fraught yet creatively fertile period of the author's life - the years between the Rebecca trial and the writing of her short story, The Birds. Starring Geraldine Somerville, otherwise known as Lily Potter, Harry Potter's mother in the final two Potter films, as Daphne Du Maurier.

Another stunning bio-pic to continue our focus on films from the United Kingdom. Set during the years between the "Rebecca" trial and the writing of Du Maurier's short story "The Birds", including her relationship with her husband Frederick 'Boy' Browning, and her largely unrequited infatuation with American publishing tycoon's wife Ellen Doubleday and a life changing love affair with the actress Gertrude Lawrence.
