SMALL TOWN GAY BAR

Dir: Malcolm Ingram, 2005, USA, 81 min.

If you lived in small-town Mississippi, you could risk your life meeting friends for a drink at the local gay bar. That is exactly what happens in small towns in northeastern Mississippi, as you’ll witness in this insightful, courageous examination of small-town gay life. SMALL TOWN GAY BAR is an enchanting tribute to the brave, creative and passionate owners and patrons of these establishments, where just existing can be a triumph.

IN PERSON: Director Malcolm Ingram and Executive Producer Kevin Smith

We assume this means a Q&A will taka place after the flick, but no promises! Outfest Wednesdays screens twice a month at the historic Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Boulevard) in Hollywood in collaboration with the American Cinematheque.
