Out at the Movies is back for our sixth year with a diverse collection of documentary, dramatic and comedic films that explore aspects of and issues in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. The event is organized by a consortium of local LGBT groups and is supported by many local organizations and private individuals.
Clarkson University will be hosting the first night of this film festival. Shelter is the 90 minute film that will be shown at Cheel Commons at 7:30 PM
Shelter’s Plot:
Jonah Markowitz, USA, 2007
A year out of high school, Zach is stuck in San Pedro, California working as a fry cook, skateboarding and stenciling guerrilla artwork on abandoned buildings.
His bedroom is his oasis - he draws on the walls, in his notebook, in sketches piled up on the floor. But he’s squashed his dream of attending Cal Arts in order to help his sister, Jeannie, raise her seven-year-old son.
Enter Shaun, the gay older brother of Zach’s best friend and a writer taking a break from Hollywood to recover from a bad relationship. Zach and Shaun start hanging out, surfing and drinking too much beer. It isn’t long before Zach and Shaun are falling asleep in each other’s arms.
