CONTENT WARNING:
A coming-of-age movie that tells a story unfolding in every high school around the country – a story of kids hiding their true identities in plain sight, even as they feverishly pursue their hearts’ desires.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Based on Brent Hartinger's best‐selling critically acclaimed novel, GEOGRAPHY CLUB is a smart, fast, and funny account of contemporary teenagers as they discover their own sexual identities, dreams, and values. 16‐year old Russell is still going on dates with girls while having a secret relationship with football quarterback Kevin, who will do anything to prevent his football teammates from finding out. Min and Terese tell everyone that they're just really good friends. And then there's Ike who can't figure out who he is or who he wants to be. Finding the truth too hard to hide, they all decide to form the Geography Club, thinking nobody else in their right mind would ever want to join. However, their secrets may soon be discovered and they could have to face the choice of revealing who they really are. THE SCREENING OF GEOGRAPHY CLUB WILL BE PRECEEDED BY THE AWARD CEREMONY WHERE DUSTIN LANCE BLACK WILL RECEIVE THE BOSTON LGBT FILM FESTIVAL DIRECTORS AWARD FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION TO LGBT CINEMA.

Director Jeffrey Schwarz and Mink Stole in person
I AM DIVINE is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in‐your‐face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I AM DIVINE is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities. NEW ENGLAND PREMIERE
Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine (1945-1988) was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine succeeded in becoming an internationally recognized icon, recording artist, and character actor of stage and screen. Glenn went from the often-mocked, schoolyard fat kid to underdog royalty, standing up for millions of gay men and women, drag queens and punk rockers, and countless other socially ostracized misfits and freaks. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.
