Reminder: Mill Valley: Free screening: "Out in the Silence" @ Tue Mar 22 7pm - 8:30pm (Queer Things)

Mill Valley: Free screening: "Out in the Silence"

Free Screening: 'Out in the Silence'

On Tuesday, March 22, the Mill Valley Public Library is inviting the public to attend a free community screening of Out in the Silence, followed by a Q & A with filmmakers Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer.

"A stunning documentary" (Philadelphia Inquirer), Out in the Silence chronicles the harrowing, ultimately successful battle of a gay teen and his mother against recalcitrant school authorities when the teen is brutally attacked for coming out in his small western Pennsylvania high school.

The post-screening Q & A with Wilson and Hamer will be aimed at engaging the audience in a conversation about inclusion, fairness, and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in California and across the country.

Produced in association with the Sundance Institute, Out in the Silence premiered in the 2010 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival at New York's Lincoln Center and has been broadcast on PBS. But Wilson and Hamer are more interested in screening it in smaller cities and towns and rural communities as part of a grassroots campaign to raise LGBT visibility and promote dialogue and civic engagement outside of major cities.

The screening will begin at 7 p.m., and will take place in the Creekside Room at the Mill Valley Public Library, located at 375 Throckmorton Ave. in Mill Valley.
