ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Earlier this week, the Little Theatre and Trillium Health celebrated Pride Month and Juneteenth with a film screening.
Organizers showed the 1996 film “The Watermelon Woman,” which follows a Black lesbian trying to make a movie about a fictional celebrity. After the screening, a panel discussion was held.
The film is considered a pivotal work in queer independent movies. Organizers said movies like these and the discussions they prompt on identity and representation are critical.
“I think it’s important now more than ever…we want them to share their stories with us,” organizers said.
They also stressed these themes are a conversation for everyone, not just queer or Black viewers.
