SUMMARY:Portraits of the Rainbow
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with QFest\, Holocaust Museum Houston’s young professionals’ group\, NEXTGen invites you to a screening of Portraits of the Rainbow. Photographer Leslie Kee lived in Japan for 25 years. As a bisexual himself\, he trains his gaze routinely on subjects of taboo and discrimination. He was the perfect match for the “Out In Japan\,” aiming to eventually feature 10\,000 LGBTQIA+s throughout Japan. He feels the time has come to push back against the pervasive prejudice and legal discrimination. The film follows the ambitious project for over a year as Leslie completes the first 1\,000 portraits. We get to intimately know a set of very different protagonists: two women\, deeply in love\, who have their first child and are faced with a society not ready to accommodate their family structure. Another woman\, devastated by the loss of her female partner to suicide\, finds hope in finally fulfilling her lifelong ambition of becoming a man. And a gay university professor who fights against the steep discrimination HIV-positives still face in Japan. Even Leslie himself has a life-changing experience. \nDirected by Ayumi Nakagawa. This film will be screened in Japanese and have English subtitles. \n(2018; 79 min; Japan; Japanese; Color; Digital) \nFollowing the screening of “Portraits of the Rainbow\,” Pride Portraits founder Eric Edward Schell will speak about how he created a global movement in Houston\, Texas by combining activism and photography. The LGBTQIA+ community and its allies\, with the help of Pride Portraits have a platform to share their narratives their way. Schell will also speak about Stonewall 50\, and what this past June meant for LGBTQIA+ History. \nOver the past two and a half years\, Pride Portraits has become the largest LGBTQIA+ visibility campaign to date. The campaign\, comprised of a photograph and statement from each participant\, seeks to represent the community and its allies one photograph and story at a time. \n			\n				REGISTER TO ATTEND
