CONTENT WARNING:

Forced to relocate from Brooklyn to rural Alabama, sensitive gay teen Sequan faces harassment and abuse both at school and at home. Hope arrives in the form of Lori, a perceptive but troubled girl who introduces Sequan to her gay brother. As the new friends plan an escape from their small-town existence, a brush with violence threatens to derail everything. Rivers Wash Over Me is a beautifully lensed and emotionally affecting drama with devastating performances.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Writer - director John Young's powerful drama Rivers Wash Over Me continues our afternoon of films about the young gay experience. Please join us for a film that is heartwrenching and true to life. Director John G. Young will be in attendance and the screening will be followed by a panel discussion on LGBT youth issues co-presented by the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Youth (BAGLY).

min total program

Shot entirely on Cape Cod, Wild About Harry tells the story of a widowed father of two trying to move on with his life and coming to terms with who he is. Set in 1973 and inspired by real events, American Primitive is a true to life drama of coming out in a time and a place that encouraged people to keep personal lives private. Starring Tate Donovan of TV's Damages and Adam Pascal, the original Roger in RENT, Wild About Harry is a beautiful, understated film about family and relationships that is perfect for Mother's Day.
