The sixth annual Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen film series will begin on Thursday, August 28, with a showing of "Camp Out." The screening will begin at 7:00 p.m. in Textor 102. The film chronicles the experiences of ten Midwestern teenagers who attend the first overnight Bible camp for gay Christian youth. Struggling to find a way to be true to both their spirituality and their sexual identity, they come to camp hoping to find a place of acceptance.

Sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Education, Outreach, and Services, the film series this year will explore sexual orientation and identity through the lens of faith. The series will present a total of eight films during the fall semester. Additional screenings will take place during the spring. All are free and open to the public. For a complete schedule visit the events section of the LGBT Center website www.ithaca.edu/lgbt, or contact the LGBT Center for a fall film series postcard.
