Dear Friend,
The Gay
& Lesbian Film Series at Louisville's Village 8 Theater
wraps up this week with "The World
Unseen" and
"TransAmerica."
South Africa in the 1950's provides the backdrop for "The World Unseen." Amina is a free
spirit and rebel in her South Asian community. When she first
sets eyes on Miriam, she is suddenly as shy as a schoolgirl.
Miriam is married but fascinated by this unconventional woman
who shows her so much attention. Their unexpected attraction
pushes Miriam to question the rules that bind her, ad set into
motion a chain of events that will change both women
forever.
"TransAmerica" begins as Bree's world is
turned upside-down, when she receives a phone call from Toby, a
jailed teenage runaway looking for his father. She wants nothing
to do with Toby, the result of a heterosexual encounter during
her life as a man. But under pressure from her therapists, she
flies to New York to bail Toby out of jail and subsequently
offers him a ride cross-country. As each lies to and manipulates
the other, Bree and Toby find themselves on a transformative
journey.
Check out all the films scheduled for this month's film
series on the Village 8 website.

The Ampersand symbolizes the solidarity we are
building through Friends & Family, and suggests the
inclusiveness we are working toward. It reflects the idea that
no one individual, legislator, organization, or city can carry
all the water for equality. Our success lies in our
solidarity.
