The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen film series will host a screening of the film A Knock Out on Wednesday March 3, in Textor 103. Boxing champion Michele Aboro’s career came to a halt when she refused to vamp up her image and pose naked in magazines. The film tells a universal story of fighting for one’s identity and takes a probing look at the intersection of gender, ethnicity and sexuality in women’s sports.
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 spring 2010 semester; all are free and open to the public.
For a complete schedule visit the events section of the LGBT Center website or contact the LGBT Center for a spring film series postcard. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Lis Maurer at lmaurer@ithaca.edu or 607-274-7394. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
