Movie Night: Living With Pride: Ruth Ellis @ 100
Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Join us for our movie screening and dialogue.
This film by Yvonne Welbon won 10 Best Documentary Awards. “Living With Pride: Ruth Ellis @ 100″ is an one hour documentary about the life and times of Ruth Ellis.
Born July 23, 1899, in Springfield, Illinois, she was thought to be the oldest “out” African American lesbian known. In addition to exploring her rich past, the film offers a rare opportunity to experience a century of our history as lived by one inspiring woman. By example, Ruth Ellis shows us what is possible and what can be realized, if one not only lives long and ages well but also lives with pride.

Considered by many to be one of the best epics of all time, Farewell My Concubine is a feast for the eyes and heart. Spanning over 50 years, we follow the lives of two opera stars from their entry as young boys into the Peking Opera School in 1924 to their reunion in 1977. The boys endure the rigorous and sometimes torturous training at the hands of Master Guan (Qi Lu) who molds their talents, preparing them for their life-long roles as a concubine and a king. Douzi (Leslie Cheung), who’s role is that of the Concubine, is conditioned to live as a girl in order to perfect his role. He develops a romantic love for Shitou (Fengyi Zhang), who can only return a fraternal love, choosing instead the beautiful Juxian (Gong Li), a prostitute that becomes his wife, driving Douzi into deep despair.
