More colleges and universities are programming the documentary How Do I Look as part of their on-campus, student life cultural offerings.
The Ithaca College Office of Media Relations issued a news release yesterday, announcing the latest college screening of How Do I Look.
The Out of the Closet and onto the Screen film series at Ithaca College will feature the 2006 documentary How Do I Look on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. in Textor 102. The showing, which is being held in observance of Black History Month, is free and open to the public.
Here is how the Out of the Closet and onto the Screen film series described How Do I Look:
How Do I Look is a follow up to the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning, which chronicled the African-American, Latino, and transgender drag ball community in New York City. Filmmaker and social activist Wolfgang Busch returned to the balls to show what has changed and what has remained the same, interviewing participants about their experiences with ball competitions and the challenges faced by the community. Among the issues the community confronts are persistent social misconception, drug use, sex work, acceptance of sexuality and gender, and HIV/AIDS. The film is an uplifting and life-affirming celebration of a New York City artistic tradition.
This film series is sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Education, Outreach, and Services. For more news about this particular screening at Ithaca College, please read the complete news release from the Office of Media Relations. Additional information is also available on Ithaca College's website about the Out of the Closet and onto the Screen film series.
