May 26 | 7:00 PM (EDT)
Scribe Video Center is excited to invite you to a hybrid screening of the award-winning documentary CURED, which highlights a pivotal but little-known moment in LGBTQ history when activists rose up to challenge a formidable institution — and won! The film will be available to screen online Thursday, May 26th at 7:00 PM (EDT). A discussion with co-director/co-producer Bennett Singer will follow the screening. The virtual screening will be on Crowdcast; limited reserved in-person seating is also available. To register, click the button at right. To confirm in-person seating or for more information, please call 215-222-4201.
Described as “fascinating” (Hollywood Reporter), “riveting” (The Queer Review), and “one of the best documentaries of this or any year” (British Film Institute) — and the winner of Audience Favorite awards at NewFest and Frameline — CURED takes viewers inside the David-versus-Goliath battle that led the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses in 1973. The film spotlights a diverse group of activists who achieved this epic victory in the movement for LGBTQ equality. Watch the trailer for CURED.
We hope you’ll be able to join us to watch and discuss this inspiring new film!
