LGBTQ Film Series Screening of Vito

Film student Vito Russo was among the crowd that fought back against the police raid of the Stonewall Inn in 1969. He would go on to become one of the most outspoken and inspiring activists in the LGBT community’s fight for equal rights. His book The Celluloid Closet explored the ways gays and lesbians were portrayed on film. He also traveled to gay film festivals and college campuses with his entertaining and informative lecture/clip show on media representation and homophobia.
