CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARY ABOUT LGBT SENIORS GOING BACK INTO THE CLOSET WINS BEST DOCUMENTARY AWARD AT THE NATION'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS LGBT FILM FESTIVAL: FRAMELINE
Film shows how those that fought the first battles for equality now face so much fear of discrimination in care giving that they are hiding their lives- and partners- in record numbers.
After winning best documentary honors at more than ten festivals to date, the much talked about story of six LGBT older people faced with going back into the closet to survive, Gen Silent, has received its most important honor to date: the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at Frameline, The San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
"Each award has been special", says the film's director, Stu Maddux, "but I hope the added recognition from Frameline will help countless more communities show Gen Silent and begin protecting LGBT older people."
Here is what people are saying about Gen Silent:
"This is one of the most amazing documentaries that you will see in this lifetime." Jessica Dollard, Programmer, Fairy Tales Queer Film Festival
"The filmmaking is personal, heart breaking, and the issues are real." Huffington Post
"One of the most important LGBTQ documentaries to come out this year." Chicago Sun-Times
"Every single person should see this film. It deserves an Oscar." best-selling novelist Patricia Cornwell
"One of the most important LGBT documentaries ever made." Charlotte LGBT Film Festival
