 THE 2006 CENTERPIECE SCREENING
Hosted by
The Kansas City Anti-Violence Project
small town gay bar
Sunday, September 24
7:00pm
This heartwarming documentary premiered at this year’s prestigious Sundance Film Festival and has continued winning festival awards for its honest portrait of gay life so often overlooked by urban gay culture.
small town gay bar takes us to those spaces in America where gays and lesbians find each other, and where their lives can be celebrated rather than hidden, offering glimpses of beautiful, brave people coming together to love themselves and each other with grit, determination and high style.
In a time when America disappointingly shows the same old jaundiced face to its gay citizens, small-town gay bars serve as social centers and supportive environments. Not that such bars escape controversy, persecution or even disaster; Ingram astutely observes the forces that led to the closure of one bar, and traces the tragic torture-and-murder saga of one teenaged patron. However, just as plentiful and forceful are the portraits of people who return to the bars again and again, where partying and hooking up share the stage with a sense of defiance and self-determination.
Director Malcolm Ingram will be in Kansas City for our screening to introduce his film and answer questions from the audience.
Directed by Malcom Ingram, USA - 81 minutes
