Eyes” followed by discussion with filmmaker Deb Fowler, March 28, 7 p.m.
We
are excited to announce that for the next (free) Movie Night at the UU Congregation in Andover, Friday, March 28,
we will show “Through Gay Eyes”, an excellent locally made documentary. Deb Fowler, one of the two makers of the
documentary, will be here for the screening and for Q&A afterwards!
From
the film’s website: “ ‘Through Gay Eyes’ is a film project that gives a voice —a veritable revelation — to the embedded furtive lifestyle of gays. This documentary film will encompass personal
stories that tap every realm of life and social context. ‘Through Gay Eyes’ extends beyond ‘coming out’
stories and delivers a profound realization that there still exists a silent
and stifling vein in our society. Gay
partners, parents and individuals tell their stories and rip the veil –
emblazoning a promise toward our perpetual path of the Civil Rights
Movement. ‘Through Gay Eyes’ wrestles
with poignant and consuming questions that affect every member of society —
bringing forth the invisible into a tangible piece of reality.”
Filmmaker
Deb Fowler has been teaching English Language Learners at Lowell High School
since 2005. In 2010, Deb was introduced
to Connor Crosby (a junior at the time) and to the power of filmmaking. Together, Deb and Connor collaborated on
“Through Gay Eyes”.
The
timing of this particular screening coincides with the UUCiA’s 20th anniversary celebration of becoming a LGBTQ “Welcoming Congregation”, which
will include a special worship service on Sunday, March 30.
