The Beltway Pride Screening Series is a collection of six compelling films that explore life through the lens of the LGBTQ community that is being launched by REVRY the queer streaming service and Comcast XFinity.
They can be watched for FREE online via the Revry.tv network. A new film will be showcased each month through October. The first film VINTAGE – Families of Value is available now through July 30. It is an essay style film that gives a thoughtful and sometimes painful examination of three African-American families through the eyes of gay and lesbian siblings, including the film director Thomas Allen Harris and his brother, Lyle Ashton Harris. The director confronts the issue by asking his mother to talk about her two sons being gay. This documentary weaves together stories from all three families with impressionistic scenes that express what some are unwilling to say.
On Thursday, July 30 from 8-8:45 p.m. EDT/5-5:45 p.m. PDT, filmmaker Thomas Allen Harris and other cast members will join Pride Center of Maryland’s LaKesha M. Davis to discuss this groundbreaking documentary, which was partially filmed in Baltimore.
