Movie premieres highlight GLBT Awareness Weeks events
The Ohio premieres of two new, highly acclaimed feature-length movies about GLBT experiences, The Graffiti Artist and Brother to Brother, highlight activities scheduled for Ohio State's annual GLBT and Ally Awareness Weeks, from Jan. 12-27. Events are sponsored by GLBT Student Services, the Multicultural Center and other departments and student organizations.
The Graffiti Artist, a film by James Bolton (director of Eban and Charley), will be shown at 8 p.m. Jan. 12 in OSU's Multicultural Center, on the fourth floor of the Ohio Union. The film is a documentary-like portrayal of a Portland, Ore. skateboarder and tagger who discovers that there is more to life when he meets and falls for another male tagger.
Brother to Brother will be shown at 8:30 p.m. Jan. 16 in the Saxbe Auditorium of the Moritz College of Law, as part of a national GLBT student of color summit being held at Ohio State over the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. The film follows the emotional and psychological journey of a young Black gay artist growing up today as he discovers the lesbian and gay legacy of the Harlem Renaissance. Both films are free and open to the public.
Activities also will include a Winter "Gayla," a mixer for Ohio State's GLBTA community featuring a performance by Katie Reider; and discussions and presentations on the struggle for transgender rights, career issues for openly GLBT college graduates, how to be a GLBT ally, and future directions for the GLBT movement in light of the 2004 elections.
