Ithaca College

The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen LGBTQ film series will screen the documentary Lavender Hill on Wednesday April 8 at 4 pm. Free and open to the public, the film will be shown at the History Center in downtown Ithaca.

In 1973 a group of young writers, artists and activists built Lavender Hill, a gay and lesbian commune near Danby NY. While a dozen straight communes thrived in Tompkins County, Lavender Hill was a remarkable experiment in collaboration, gender exploration, and social political integration between young gay men and lesbians in the post-Stonewall era. This intentional community had its beginnings in the Gay Liberation Front and its twilight during the AIDS crisis. 

Screening in collaboration with The History Center in Tompkins County.
