My People Film Series: Queer Legacies

My People Film Series: Queer Legacies
Presented by Kelly Strayhorn Theater
Tuesday, November 1-22 | 7PM

The 3rd annual My People Film Series returns in grand style with more films, more filmmakers, performances, and in depth discussions about our communities. Join Kelly Strayhorn Theater and New Voices Pittsburgh: Women of Color for Reproductive Justice for an exploration of Queer Legacies. From radical queer elders and legendary jazz composers to trans masculinity and immigration – we’ve got something to talk about!

My People Film Series is a four-part series highlighting the lives and experiences of queer people of color with award-winning films, performances, and discussions. While the films focus primarily on queer people of color, My People seeks to affirm underserved and underrepresented groups and help identify strong, active, and vibrant communities.
