FILM LINEUP
STORME: The Lady of the Jewel Box
Step into the glittering world of Storme DeLarverie, a trailblazing icon whose life defied conventions of gender and race. As a drag king and the butch lesbian protector of NYC in the 60s, Storme's scuffle with police was one of the sparks that ignited the Stonewall uprising, spurring the crowd to action. Directed by Michelle Parkerson. This film offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the past through archival clips from the past, looking back on the grandeur of the Jewel Box Revue and its celebration of pure entertainment in the face of homophobia and segregation. Runtime: 21 min. Rating: Not Rated

Lose yourself in the revelry of a bygone era, where every moment pulses with passion and defiance. Runtime: 1hr 12min. Rated M.
