SUMMARY:LGBTQ Virtual Film Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Are movies your thing? Looking for a conversation about LGBTQ 
 topics?\n\nJoin us for the LGBTQ monthly film discussion series! Each month 
 we will discuss an LGBTQ film through the library's Kanopy collection. It's 
 all about watching films\, sharing stories\, and having an honest 
 conversation about the tough issues faced by the LGBTQ community.\n\n 
 \n\nThis month we are watching:\n\nScreaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's 
 Cafeteria \n\n56min\, 2005 \n\nKANOPY LINK: 
 https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/132475\n\nThis film tells the 
 little-known story of the first known act of collective\, violent 
 resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States - 
 a 1966 riot in San Francisco's impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood\, three 
 years before the famous gay riot at New York's Stonewall Inn.  
 \n\nScreaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens\, cops\, and 
 activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid 
 portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco. Integrating 
 the riot's story into the broader fabric of American life\, the documentary 
 connects the event to urban renewal\, anti-war activism\, civil rights\, 
 and sexual liberation. With enticing archival footage and period music\, 
 this unknown story is dramatically brought back to life.  \n\n \n\nThis 
 series allows us to explore complex topics. Due to adult content and mature 
 themes\, viewer and participant discretion is advised.\n\nThe program will 
 be presented online using Webex. Registration is required. Registered 
 participants will receive an email with instructions on how to join the 
 meeting. Don't see the email? Check your spam folder.\n\n \n\nDon’t have

 \n\nThe Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance has partnered with Burton Barr 
 Central Library to produce a program featuring a series of award-winning 
 films that showcases the experiences of the LGBTQ community. The series 
 highlights the artistic contributions both nationally and internationally 
 of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, and transgender films and filmmakers. Our 
 goal is to create a diverse film series that educates\, entertains\, and 
 offers the viewer an opportunity to experience the challenges and triumphs 
 firsthand.
