Hi, everyone. From time to time I get e-mail from the producers of the upcoming NJ4 documentary, The Fire This Time (
http://thefirethistimethefilm.com/). I'm starting this thread as a place to post the new information as it comes in, so if you're interested in this film, please check here for updates. Here's what came in yesterday:
******************************************************
The Fire This Time work-in-progress will be screening at Negril Village on Sunday, December 6th for their weekly "Savory Screening Sundays." We will be screening during brunch, so come out and support while eating great food!
Brunch will be from 12-4pm and we will screen at 1pm, 2pm and again at 3pm, so you can't miss it! Please sign up on Facebook if you are able to attend.
We are also excited to be screening alongside the short film Changing House by Za Martohardjono.
Changing House
Rusty and Chelsea are two transgender women who devoted fifteen years to making their home in Brooklyn a communal living space for transgender women. Their home served a vital role as one of the only safe and accessible spaces in New York City for transgender women but soon became overcrowded and un-manageable as social workers referred more and more people to it. Alongside long-time resident Cellia, Rusty and Chelsea open the doors to their house one last time, offering a glimpse of its unique history, reflecting on the joys and challenges of communal living and discussing the continuing struggle of the trans community with discrimination and homelessness. Throughout their farewell, we sense the strong and tender activist spirit and hope-inspiring legacy of Stonewall veteran Silvia Rivera who helped maintain the house years ago.
