Event Description : LGBT Month Film Festival
On the occasion of the LGBT pride month, American Centre in collaboration with Cinedarbaar will be organizing a 3 days LGBT film festival. The festival will show five films that brings stories ofLGBT ie., Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.
The film Kissing Jessica Stein starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Heather Juergensen, Tovah Feldshuh will begin the festival.

The second day of the festival will show films like But I'm a Cheerleader starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, Michelle Williams which tells a story of a naive teenager who is sent to rehab camp when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect her of being a lesbian. After that Boys Don't Cry starring Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny, Peter Sarsgaardwill start which tells a story of a Female born, Teena Brandon who adopts his male identity of Brandon Teena and attempts to find himself and love in Nebraska. The third day of the festival will show films like Broke back Mountain by Ang Lee which tells about the forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys and their lives over the years. The closing film of the festival is a documentary film directed by Jenny Mackenzie called Lead with Love.
All the festival films are romantic drama. Kissing Jessica Stein and Brokeback Mountain are ideally films about love, relationships and not bifurcating sexuality such as gay or lesbian. While the former is fun romantic drama and the other is an epic romantic film that ends on a tragic note. On the other hand films such as But I’m cheerleader is about treating LGBT as a disease, this films hold relation to Indian audiences to reflect upon corrective rape prominent is South India to cure the same. Boys don’t cry explored the themes of freedom, courage, identity and empowerment. It is a romantic tragedy with portrayal of real life people. The festival closes with a documentary Lead with Love that basically shows families reaction towards their children being LGBT.
The theme of the festival, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month (LGBT) is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honour the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan. The Stonewall riots were a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally. Discussions on LGBT will follow post screenings where themes highlighted in the film will be talked about.
Quiz on LGBT will be organized based on the films screened for the audience to win exciting prizes sponsored by the American Centre. Come and explore the dramas, docu-fictions and take away the knowledge about the LGBT by attending the interactive sessions and win exciting prizes.
