Movie Night

October 21, 2008

Nov. 14, 6:30 p.m.

 

For the past two years, Bell Street Chapel has had a monthly movie night featuring films with gender-identity themes. Viewing and discussing these films is an enjoyable way to live out our commitment as a Unitarian Universalist Association Welcoming Congregation.

 

Last month’s movie night featured a beautifully filmed and fascinating look at the American West in the mid-nineteenth century, “The Ballad of Little Jo.” The life of Jo Monaghan, a woman passing as a young man and conducting a long-term role reversal relationship with her Chinese houseboy provoked an interesting discussion.

 

November Movie Night will honor Transgender Day of Remembrance. We will show a film that drew immense critical acclaim when it was released in 1999 and won an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. It is a stunning film.

 

The venue for November Movie Night will be Carol Crowley’s house, since Daydream Theatre will be using Eddy Hall. Bring a dish to share at our potluck dinner and join us at Movie Night!
