LGBTQ Film Series: Longtime Companion

Five Points Center for Active Adults 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC, United States

Don't miss out on our LGBTQIA+ Film Series screening! Join us for our monthly program on the fourth Tuesday of the month. We will be showcasing films with diverse themes around sexuality and gender. This program is co-hosted with the Carolina Aging Alliance. All folks 18 and older are welcome! January's Film is "Longtime Companion." Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as "Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder," we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn't-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today. The title of the film comes from the New York Times' refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as "Longtime Companions" of the deceased. Location: Five Points Center for Active Adults Age: 18 and older Cost: Free Register on RecLink
