DESCRIPTION:In 1959\, a decade prior to Manhattan's Stonewall riots\, across the bridge&nbsp\;in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, the Starlite Lounge was founded as a non-discriminating bar for gay people of color. In 2009\, the community was shocked when the Starlite Lounge\, now the oldest\, Black-owned bar was given notice to vacate. Starlite was filmed during this critical moment at the intersection of race\, sexuality and gentrification.  The Starlite Project is a feature length documentary and on/offline network strategy\, currently in production. Please join the filmmakers to view scenes from the rough cut and to engage in a discussion with them and their special guests.\nGuests include George Chauncey\, author of Gay New York.\nFollowed by a Q&A with filmmakers Kate Kunath and Sasha Wortzel.\n6 pm open seating6:15 pm screening\nText and image: courtesy Kate Kunath and Sasha Wortzel\n&nbsp\;
