"Out
In The Cold" @ MLK Jr. Screening Room
THU SEP 19 7:30p
In conjunction with the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic
Site DREAM
Series. A documentary by Eric Criswell and Martin Bedogne,
52 minutes, video
Admission is FREE
Winner of the 2002 New York Gay and Lesbian Film Festival
for Best Documentary!
OUT IN THE COLD is a riveting new film that brings attention
to the
hidden world of runaway and homeless gay and lesbian youth.
This documentary takes the audience on a journey into the
lives of young people who are rejected because of sexual orientation
by their family or guardians after coming out.
Turned away by family, clergy, teachers and school administrators,
the lucky
ones find safety with friends, or a supportive relative; however,
many head to the one place they know they can be free: the
streets. Turning to drugs,
prostitution, and crime as a way to survive, these once suburban
kids with hopes and dreams for the future are lucky to stay
alive. OUT IN THE COLD not only asks the question why, but
seeks to uncover the issues that lead to gay youth being ostracized
by their community. Interviews with parents, teachers, clergy,
and the youth themselves drive this award-winning documentary,
in hopes of uncovering what has to change to make sure that
no child is ever rejected and thrown away simply because of
his or her identity. This film is proudly presented as a Developing
Racial Equality Through Art and Music (DREAM) Series screening,
in conjunction with the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic
Site. Major funding provided by Crawford Communications.

"LA TROPICAL" @ Central
Library Theatre
WED SEP 25 7p
Dir. David Turnley, 96 minutes, video
7:00pm, followed by reception and salsa dancing!
Admission is FREE
Join IMAGE Film & Video and the Atlanta Fulton Public
Library for the kick-off of MONTAGE, our new screening series
showcasing the best in filmmaking diversity. Anything goes,
from world cinema to experimental film to shorts programs
to teen works.
Captured in stunning black-and-white video by one of the world•s
most talented photojournalists, LA TROPICAL is an extraordinary
film about an extraordinary Cuban dance club. Popular music
aficionados call it the best dance hall in the worlds but
you wont find it in any travel brochure.
Tucked away in a remote barrio of Havana, the Salon Rosado
at La Tropical is the club where generations of working-class
Cubans of color have always gathered to dance, sing, and live
la vida loca. For only a few pesos, locals shimmy their way
onto the tightly-packed, open-air dance floor and move nonstop
to the rhythms of the hottest and edgiest contemporary bands
on the island. The film documents La Tropicals seasoned dancers,
popular musicians, and up-and-coming musical artists, but
the central character of this film is La Tropical itself.
Its multi-faceted story, told through the voices of the people
who love it, is the story of Cuba in the twentieth century.
This screening is co-sponsored by the Atlanta Fulton Public
Library and their Centennial Film Festival Committee, Friends
of Central Library and Global Access Department in recognition
of Hispanic Awareness Month. Post-screening salsa dancing
provided by Julian Mejia and the Cuban
Salsa Dance Troupe.
