Ithaca College

The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen film series will host a double feature on Thursday, November 5, in Textor 101. Two films will be screened: Mother/Country at 7 pm, and Black Sheep at 7:30 pm.
 

Mother/Country
During the cultural revolution, sex-year-old Gharavi was sent from Iran to live with her father. She visits her mother and her birth country of Iran for the first time in 23 years.

Black Sheep
Lou Glover grew up in New South Wales repeating the same homophobic and racist taunts she heard around her. It wasn't until she came out as a lesbian that she began to explore her ancestry. Her story as a lesbian, one-time police officer, and recently-discovered Aboriginal woman.

Sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Education, Outreach, and Services, the film series this year will explore LGBT lives and stories from around the world. The series will present a total of eight films during the fall 2009 semester; additional screenings will take place during the spring. All are free and open to the public.
